Well it's been 2 months since I blogged! Life's been busy these last couple months. Audrey turned 7 years old, Christopher turned 8 months old and we took a long road trip to Colorado to visit my mom and step dad.
Audrey is looking forward to starting the 2nd grade. She had a few of her good friends over for a swim and slumber party last week. They had a blast. Not too much drama this year! She's so emotionally driven it can be pretty trying sometimes. But it seems to be leveling out some as she gets older. Plus her friends will call her out on it now! :) We're excited to get her home on a couple weeks. This school year she's going to be doing pre team gymnastics and pre team ballet/tap/jazz. Both of which have competitions in the spring! It will be fun and I think she will grow a lot as a dancer and athlete.
Christopher is growing and changing daily! He's pretty close to 20 pounds we think. He gained 2 pounds between his 6 month and 7 month doctor visits! No more concern with weight gain!! He loves to eat. He will eat just about anything I give him and we've done lots of good wholesome foods. He's already enjoying bananas, tortillas, cheerios, and pancakes in finger foods! The purees I give him are really thick and most of them have beef or chicken or sometimes tofu in them. He's not crawling per say, but he is doing a sort of army crawl thing with his head down. He rolls a lot too. He's just about crawling though...look out!
He's got his 2 bottom teeth and one of the top just broke through today! I'm still nursing him, although those teeth have chomped me a few times. He seems to understand when I tell him not to do it and usually only does it once then stops. I'm going to do my best to get to 12 months, then wean him over to whole milk from the cup. He's working on various sounds too, like "da", "ma" and "ba". So much fun!
We drove up to Colorado this summer, which was a long trip but we had a blast up there. We got to ride 4 wheelers, hike, and go swimming in a hot spring fed pool. It was really nice to see Mimi and Pawpaw too. Don't get to see them nearly enough. We're hoping when we get our mini van (August we hope!!) we can go back around Christmas time.
8 months old!
