I would say I am proud of myself for writing Ty's 7 month post, while he is actually, 7 months... but, I am only writing this because I miss him. Where is he you say? He must be in some far off land, not seen in days... Well, He is about 10 yards from where I sit as I type this. Yup, I am a total LAME-O! Truth is, it has been killing me that he has been going to bed so late. The last 6 weeks we have done nothing but travel, travel, travel, and travel AGAIN!!! Hey guess what we're doing tomorrow? (Steph, cuz I know you are going to read this, because I swear you are the only person who does... I am so excited to see you guys tomorrow! We are going to have so much fun!) So anyways.... Traveling has been rough! It was so much fun but wreaked total havoc on any routines we have had with Ty. He is just a little bit like his Momma and has such a hard time sleeping in new places. Not because he was upset to not be at home, but because he was super excited. On one of our trip we went to visit my brother and he would not go to sleep. I don't think I have ever seen him that hyper, and at 11:30 PM at that! Giggling and crawling all over us. Thank heavens for my sister-in-law owning a rocking chair. It was my only saving grace that night. So now, we have rigid routine. Like more rigid than ever before. We will see how it goes because I personally hate routine, but I really feel its what he needs. Tonight it was a total success! In bed asleep by 7:30! I should be celebrating and reading or taking a bubble bath or reading more of Divergent, or... But? I miss the noisiness. I miss the curiosity. I miss the adventure of keeping the little stinker out of trouble. What kind of trouble? Well, let me tell you all about it!
We have a full on crawler. He totally skipped the army crawl and went full speed ahead. It is harder and harder to keep this kid contained. Baby gates are in our very near future! It used to be my kitchen was the cleanest room in our house and that has completely moved to the living room. He gets into everything! We have so, SO many toys and yet everything he finds entertaining is off limits. I don't understand it at all. Aren't toys made to be fun for them. So then what the heck entices them to want to play with things that are in no way meant for a baby? Seriously, this baffles me. Maybe it is just our kid? I don't know.
This one completely, I mean COMPLETELY!!! Through me for a loop. About two days after he started crawling (or 5 days max) he started pulling himself up to standing on furniture! What the hey? I was totally preparing myself that he may not crawl for a few months and that was ok, fine, and normal. So now I just find myself daydreaming about bubble wrapping everything. How in the world do we have so many sharp corners in such a small living space?!?! For real! He falls down a lot. Some days I am terrified to take him out into public for fear people will think I am abusing him! I hope he gets a lot less wobbly real soon, because he definitely is not slowing down any time soon. This kid likes to "move it, move it".
Other than that.... He is finally starting to get the hang of the pincher grip and getting better at putting food in his mouth rather than covering it up with his fingers. Which as it turns out is kind of comical. I would put those puffs on his tray and laugh (out of love, of course) because he would pick one up and couldn't see it in his hand so he just kept going for different ones over and over. But the face he would pull when it simply "disappeared" haha, Priceless!
Totally a side sleeper. As soon as I lay him in his crib he immediately rolls over. Sometimes he rolls over in my arms as I am putting him in his crib so he will be in the position he wants when he gets there. It was hilarious the other night. We put him in his car seat to sleep (because he has ANOTHER ear infection...) and he rolled to his side. He looked SO uncomfortable! But that is how he slept for about 1.5 hours.
We love this kiddo so much! I am so glad we get to have him in our lives. He makes our lives so much better! He is one of the happiest and sweetest baby boys. My heart absolutely melts when he is in the thick of playing with all of his toys and he glances at me from across the room and all of a sudden he crawls to me as fast as he can because he just wants to cuddle with his Mommy for a few minutes. Not because he is tired. Just because. I hope its always this way and he always finds time for his Momma!
