He's Crawling

Where's the pause button on these kids?  They are growing up so quickly!  Yesterday Nate crawled for the first time!  He is no into everything, especially sissy's stuff! 

I promise a longer post later!

Nate at 8 1/2 months

My buddy bear, mommy’s little man, you are 8 months old, you are trying so hard to crawl and get so mad that you cannot.  You can push up on all fours, rock back and forth, push up on hands and feet ( I call this your down dog yoga pose), and push yourself backwards.  I really think you would rather walk since you are already pulling up on things.  Today you successfully manuvered yourself to sissy.  You love your bath, like to put your hand under the water and cry when I get you out. Oops buddy bear, not the best idea to try to stand in the tub.  You like to play the piano and the maracas, always try to get the phones or iPad or whatever someone else has close to you.   You wave hello now and clap your hands when someone else claps theirs or you are excited.   Give hugs and big open mouth kisses, everything goes in your mouth.  You have 2 teeth and I think you are getting your top front teeth.  You still refuse to hold your bottle but will hold your Sippy, why is that?  You are growing so fast!  Slow down and let mommy catch up!

At his 8 month appointment he was 20.6 lbs 29 1/4 inches of perfect!

Long Night

Not really sure what is going on with Nate, but he is so cranky!  Yesterday he only wanted mommy and if he was able to sleep he only wanted to sleep in my arms.  By the time it was bedtime I was exhausted.  He went down with no problem at 8 and I was excited, apparently I got my hopes up too high.  At 11:30 he woke up ready to play, and was terribly cranky.  I did everything I knew to do to make him go back to sleep, nothing worked.  Finally daddy took him downstairs to play for a bit so I could get some sleep.  At 6:30 I put him in the bouncer and he fell asleep, of course that was time for everyone else to get up.  Poor guy, I am guessing it is teething, or an ear infection, I am hoping it's the first.

8 Months

Wow, it has been almost a month since I have blogged…




The last 8 months have flown. Tomorrow Nate will be 8 months old and I remember it like it was yesterday. I can't believe how much he has grown. He is on the verge of crawling and loves anything that will go into his mouth. He has moved into the older infant room at school, he is now with Mrs. Rosa, who was Juliet's first teacher at Primrose. She already loves him and he seems to be happy there. He loves blocks, well loves to let you build something so he can knock them down them put them in his mouth! He has two teeth and the sweetest smile and will grab and give what seems like hugs. He also thinks it’s hilarious to untie my shoes. Why is it that tickles kids so? We got good news at Texas Children’s about his head. They told us that it should round itself out by the time he is two, we were so excited by that news. I got a call from the school the other day, apparently Nate sleeps with his feet thru the bars on the crib. He got one of his legs stuck and his teachers freaked I think that upset him more than getting stuck.

Juliet moved to the Preschool 2 this past week, she is back to being the youngest in her class even though she seems to hold her own. It seems that everyone in this class brings a baby to sleep with at nap time. I thought we had gotten away from having to haul a stuffed animal to school every day, but apparently it is back, although it is a little green bear and not ribbit. She will get a book we have read to her and start to read to us, she does well at remembering what is supposed to be on each page. She still loves Puggles, knows 3 bible verses, and is learning that God made everything. She is such the princess, loves to wear tutus and glitter headbands.  It was so funny the other day she was drawing and put the marker in her left hand.  When I asked what she was doing, she told me "I was making sure the other hand worked."  Smartie Britches!

We took the kids to Dallas this weekend to visit Poppa Darrell, Madison and Sullivan and Great-Grandma and Granddad. We had a nice, if whirlwind visit. We took the kids to play putt-putt and it was the first time for Juliet, she made 2 holes in 1's. I don’t think she knew what all the excitement was about other than we all were excited. She and Madison bonded quickly, they played together a lot.  We got to have dinner with G&G and had (square) cupcakes for Granddad's 80th birthday.

Wow, sorry about the jumping around, but there's alot going on.  Check Flickr!
