31 weeks

Well happy 7 months to our little guy!  Time is flying by!  I think we will have a crawler by the end of the month...or at least by 8 months for sure.  He's so close and gets pretty frustrated, but he's just not quite there yet.  He does have the army crawl mastered though.  You can tell he knows there is a faster way to get where he's going, but he still needs some practice.  I'll take all the time I can get :)

We had a wonderful time in Dallas.  Jack got to see his Tinga, Mimi, Pops, Auntie Molly and cousin Riley.  It was a weekend of attention and loving for the little guy and he soaked it up!  Somehow I barely took any pictures!  I wish we had more time so we could have seen the rest of the family though.  He was a good little traveler as well.  Not too much fuss on the way up there, or on the way back, which was great!  We stopped to eat downtown and on the way back, and he was a happy camper both times.

He is great at sitting up on his own- too great for his own good.  He'll get up in the middle of the night and sit up and start playing with his little pacifiers.  He'll organize them into a neat little pile (must take after me) and then starts testing each one out.  The other night he must have tired himself out, because we saw him face down on the mattress but still in the sitting position.  There is no way he was comfortable, but he slept that way for close to an hour.  It looked like he was doing baby yoga :) Namaste. 

This week isn't too crazy for us.  We have swimming with Miss Amy, and then a playdate with Jack's buddy, Eli.  We are going to take some time off music class.  It's clashing with his nap and they aren't really cleaning the bells off (one of our friends already got sick).  I'm all for him getting some germs, but I was totally grossed out last time with the kid next to us couldn't stop coughing and had snot rolling down his face.  So the girls decided we would do our own music class.  :)  This should be fun and probably hilarious.  

This week we are adding apples and carrots to Jack's diet.  We were going to do meat, but I need to speak with his GI doctor and see what they suggest since he's apparently allergic to the animal protein.  Jack loved the apples though!  He was pitching a fit being in his highchair while I was making his food, I put a spoonful in his mouth while he was crying and instantly he went silent and then started grunting for more :)  This kid keeps me laughing!

Well, have a great week.  

Lots of love!
