7 months of Bob

physically: he is getting so big. 16 pounds 10oz, and 26 inches long. 

teeth: two teeth. and i am pretty sure there is two more on the way. tons and tons of drool. cranky. good times (not really)

eats: just about everything. still on formula, but also eats purees.  he also started eating "adult" food. he loves sausage, toast, rice, chicken, and beans.

sleeps: in his crib. he was doing really well, sleeping 7-7 but lately the sleep has been regressing. waking up anywhere between 5:30am-7. ugh.

wears: still in 6-9 month clothing. 

loves: playing with his dad. seeing the cats. being picked up and put by the mirror ( he loves looking at himself). jumping in the jumper. and laying in the swing. 

hates: i can't really think of anything that he hates right now. nothing really comes to mind.

vocally: he is babbling SO much. it's pretty cute. he also started blowing spit bubbles while talking. i love it.

he just started crawling!!!!!!!!!!!! like two days ago on august 1st. i was volunteering when his dad sent me a video of him crawling. super crazy! makes me really happy to see him hitting these milestones but at the same time pretty sad that my baby is growing so quick. 

he's also been really sick. for about the past 2.5 weeks he's had super bad diarrhea. i took him to the doctor and she said there is a virus going around but they are wanted to do some labs so we are waiting on the results. he also just got a cold and last night was one of the worst nights we've ever had. so much screaming no matter what we did. holding him, rocking him, letting him lay down, he just cried. it was the worst. hopefully he starts feeling better soon. 

6 months of bob!

physically: he is so big now! my arms hurt when i hold him for long periods of time. i've also had to adjust the straps on the car seat twice now. crazy crazy.

teeth: he has TWO teeth now. TWO! both came at once. and i think there is more on the way. lots of drool! and lots of chewing. on everything.

eats: this kid LOVES food. he is currently eating puree'd foods but i also give him little snack crackers every meal as well. his favorite puree'd food so far is mangos. this kid has mangos everyday and can't seem to get enough of it. 

sleeps: bob is doing really well. sleep training last month was the best decision ever. he goes down at 7pm and usually sleeps till 7. we just moved so he's been having a few rough nights and waking up earlier than he should. theres been a handful of 4:30-5am mornings. ugh.

wears: this kid is now in 6 month clothing. i packed away all this 3-6 month stuff because all the onesies and tshirts were too small. i want him to stop! stay little forever bob. 

loves: he loves eating (especially mangos). t.v in the mornings. his dad making him laugh. mj kitty. 

hates: i don't know that he has any hates right now. i'm trying to think of something, and i don't think there is anything.

vocally:he is babbling so much these days. he makes the loudest noises. it's the best. 

so much has happened in this past month. in addition to bob growing like a weed, we bought a house! so exciting. we officially moved all our stuff in yesterday. now we are working on unpacking, and making our homestead more comfortable. 

5 months of bob!

physically: he is getting gigantic. my arms are getting more an more sore everyday with how heavy this kid is getting. on thursday we will know his height and weight. that's when his 5 month well appointment is. 

teeth: no teeth yet. but he's chewing on everything, and drooling like crazy. i made sure to stock up on tylenol while at target yesterday. teeth, we are ready for you!

eats: formula as well as some solids now. we started shortly after he turned 4 months giving him different fruit and veggie purees. he is a pretty picky kid. (like his mama). some of his favorites are sweet potatoes, chicken, prunes, apples, and berries. he isn't a fan of peaches or sweet peas though. 

sleeps: really well. a few nights ago we started sleep training. it only took two nights of "crying it out." when i say crying it out ii don't mean that i left him crying in the crib by himself all night. he cried for only a few minutes while i went in every few minutes to sooth him. last night he slept in his crib, alone, for 12 hours. no crying. SO GOOD. he woke up so much happier, and alert. well and so did i. yay for sleep. go bob.

wears: bob is still in 3-6 month clothing. 

loves: eating, and sleeping. the hubs bought bob an activity center to play in which bob loves. he enjoys being on his belly more than anything in the world. he also loves being around other babies. he's finally becoming aware of them, and loves smiling at them.

hates: he still hates having diaper changes, as well as being on his back now that he's discovered how awesome being on the belly is.

vocally:lots and lots of babbling. it's incredibly cute how much he babbles.

this past month has been crazy. we did some going back and forth down to san diego for the hubs work, as well as to see family. we also started sleep training which has been the best decision ever made. we really loved co sleeping, but none of us were getting a full nights rest. now we are able to all sleep comfortably. it's really nice. he slept 12 hours last night! so good. i'm trying to think of what else has been going on, but i haven't had much coffee yet and i have a full day of work ahead of me. i will attach some photos from the past month. 

4 months of bob

physically: bob is getting huge!!! he graduated this week to size 2 diapers. am i the only mom sad about that? i even packed away a size 1 diaper to keep. i never thought i would be one of those sappy, save everything type moms but i am. on monday we will know his weight and height.

teeth: none yet. but i definitely think something is coming. this little guy is chewing on everything. especially my fingers. we ordered him some teething rings, and have tylenol on hand for when he does. 

eats: still on formula. and lots of it. he eats anywhere between 20-25 ounces. 

sleeps: he still sleeps through the night. i usually put him down anywhere between 7-8pm, and he sleeps till 6am on the nose. bob still sleeps in bed with us, and will continue to do so when we are ready to put him in his room. but for now he is fine sleeping with us. he is ready to eat right when he wakes up, so i usually bring the bottle with me into the room and feed him as i make our way into the living room. as for naps its a hit or a miss. he either naps really well, or not so great. lately we've been all over the place. he's currently napping now which is great.

wears: bob is now in size 3-6 months. i packed up all his newborn stuff and put it away. as for diapers, like i said before he's in size 2. so crazy!

vocally: he babbles SO much. especially at night time when he's tired. or before a nap. it's really sweet. he loves when the hubs sings to him. he laughs so hard. it's the best. he's also started making tons of high pitched noises. i love it. i know we are a ways a way from this, but i can't wait to hear what his first words will be.

loves: bob loves bath time. loves when people sing to him. loves grabbing his feet!!! thats a new thing he started yesterday. so good. he loves the projector that shines on the ceiling at night time, he smiles at it and talks to it. he also loves being held. 

hates: bob hates being in the car. hates it. he also hates being put down. when we change his diaper and set him down to do it, he screams until he realizes that you aren't walking away from him. but if you do walk away, he will scream. 




dear bob, i love you very much. it's so fun watching you grow, and turn into a little person. you are a completely different baby. you're happier, noisier, and bigger. we love it. here's to another great month with you.

someone found his feet this morning

this was on our walk last weekend <3

we've had a pretty uneventful week. hanging out at home, staying in doors. with it being in the 90's it's been way too hot to leave the house. but now today will be a day of cleaning and prepping the apartment. it's the hubs birthday tomorrow, and then my dad will be up on sunday. bob has his four month shots on monday, and i will need some help. poor guy. hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

dear bob,

dear bob, i love you very much. today was a super rough day. you were pretty fussy. your dad,you,and myself went for a long walk around the neighborhood. we got lunch at romancing the bean. the name of that restaurant will always remind me of you. you will forever be my little bean. i hope we have a good week this week. your grandpa bob is coming up on sunday so that he can go with me to your four month well check up. you have shots. so we have lots of cleaning to do before he comes. 


love you little bean.

xoxo

first easter

this year for easter we decided that bob was probably too young to go easter egg hunting, and we didn't want to risk him being terrified of the easter bunny so we decided to skip those things this year. instead we made our way down to san diego on sunday to spend some time with my family. saturday evening my mom and stepdad cooked us supper and we drank wine while watching old comedy movies. well old-ish. i think we watched Black Sheep and i can't remember what else. sunday morning we had bacon, coffee, and bagels then had to pack up our bags to head over to my pops house. such a nice time hanging with my mom. 

my mom, stepdad, adam, bob, and myself

when we got to my dads we got to relax a bit before heading over to my grandmothers for supper. we fed bob, chatted with my dad, and then put bob down for a mini nap. it's always nice to watch up with my dad. after that we headed to my grandmas house where my dads side of the family got to enjoy bob. they all go crazy for him fighting over who gets to hold him. i love it. my dad says that " they understand each other." so sweet. i want to try and make it a tradition of taking family pictures every time we are down there for a holiday.

hope everyone had a lovely easter! we sure did!
