7 months!

I can't believe our little guy is already working on his second semester! He is growing so fast, learning new things every day! We have been having some struggles with getting back into his sleep and nap routine since we came back from CA, but he slowly seems to be getting back on track. Dan and I have been suffering a level of exhaustion we have not previously encountered, even in the newborn phase. It has forced us to contemplate a variety of coping strategies (like kicking him out of our bed and night weaning!) that conflict with our fundamental parenting style, but so far we haven't actually acted on anything yet. Just when we think we can't take it anymore, he has a good night so we give it another chance. But its alright - he's a good kid and you just can't stay upset with him!

Lion from Godparents Patrick and Keri for Christmas - isn't he the best Lion you've ever seen!?!


Push Ups! Still hasn't figured out how to move forward yet though!


Next fall we'll have to get him a hat that actually fits!



Well you know he's not happy all the time, but he IS cute all the time! And no, no teeth yet...
