7 Months Old

7 Months Old
A couple of photos ;)

Lee is an awesome eater. He never really has not liked any of his food as of yet. He had "chicken" the other night on Wednesday for the first time and this was the face he gave us. We laughed and then he persisted to cry. I gave him a whole jar of green beans and then another bite of chicken and he knew right away and cried. He did NOT like it at all. Poor guy!!

The 2 pictures below are how I found Lee on Thursday Morning. I ran and got my camera. He sat up for the first time on his own. Today (Sunday) Steve was changing Lee's diaper and went to throw it away and when he came back, Lee was sitting up. Those have been the only 2 times he has done it on his own. So we are getting there!!
Playing with my bumper.


BUSTED!! Haa, ha. LOL!

Lee can pull himself up on stuff now, just to his knees. He will pull up on his music leap frog table or on the couch, or on me or Steve. He also is getting the hang of scooting forward. He can do side to side, all the way around in a circle, and he can scoot backward. However, starting of Friday afternoon, he started army crawling forward. He doesn't like being on his hands and knees at all, so I don't forsee him crawling or anything like it in the near future.

One last picture is how Steve was "playing" with Lee. Steve was playing Xbox360 and Lee was trying to "help". It's was pretty funny!!

Happy Boy!

Steve was cracking Lee up right before bed. He was laughing at everything, so I decided to go grab the camera. Here's our happy boy ;0)

Update:

I was doing a post on our other blog and looking through pictures and realized I never did a post on meeting Grandpa Jerry. Here are some pictures from when Grandpa Jerry, Petra, Great-Grandpa Lee, Great-Grandma Vera and Aunt Linda came to visit.

7 Months Old

Lee's teething big time! Oye! He's been the clingingest, snottiest, whiniest, poopiest and laziest little boy I have ever met. He's being HORRIBLE, sorry for complaining. Lee has been very clingie and nothing is making him happy for the past 3 days. I'm kinda at the end of my rope. Steve has been working long hours this week, he's still not home and it's 8:15pm. I think tomorrow I will let Steve sleep-in and then I'm going to go out for a few hours and take a break.

Lee's teething on the top and bottom I noticed. His top teeth are just about to come in, I think the one on the left broke through, but the next bottom ones are starting to come up now. I am trying to distract him, but that only lasts for about 5 minutes. Then he's bored and throwing a wonderful temper tantrum. Yesterday Steve called me saying he was going to be late, so I decided to take Lee to the mall and get him out of the house. He whined the whole time we were there. Literally whined. So needless to say we were gone for less than an hour.

The good thing about this is it's taking his focus off of crawling. He's no where near crawling yet (secretly dancing). He's way too busy to get everything and anything into his mouth to chew/slobber. He keeps falling over when sitting (this is where the lazy part is coming in), he'll fall over and smack his head on the ground when sitting and start screaming on the top of his lungs. So I have stopped putting him in a sitting position. Now that he has been on his tummy so much, he is starting to learn how to sit by himself. Although it consists of rolling over onto his side, reaching out his hand towards me and opening/closing his fist as fast as he can while screeching on the top of his lungs!!!

Oh, and the seperation started too. If he's in the living room and I walk around the corner to where he can't see me, he screams. I walk back so Lee can see me, he gets quiet and smiles. Walk out of sight again, screams. Last night and today, I just stayed in the kitchen and did the dishes until he was completely worked up into hysterics. Hopefully he gets over this soon.

He holds his bottle all by himself now. He feeds all 8oz. to himself. I will lay him on the floor in his boppy and prop him up and he just goes to town. Sometimes he will push my hands away, like "I can do it".

Although he's been teething and crabby, he's been sleeping awesome! I can't complain about that one bit!!

Here's what his schedule has been like lately:
8-8:30am - wake up (eats 8oz bottle, 2T of oatmeal & stage 2 fruit)
10am - nap
11:30 - 12pm - wake up (eats 8oz bottle)
3pm (eats 4oz bottle) Nap
5:30pm - wake up (stage 2 vegtable & stage 2 fruit or yogurt)
7:30pm - (eats 8oz bottle)
8pm - bed

I finally got him down to 2 naps a day. He's been doing great with it! It took me about a week to get him adjusted, many of the days we had to go out somewhere. Lee loves to go out of the house and usually leads to a happy and entertained boy.

That's all the updating and complaining I have for today ;)

Here are some pictures of Lee's first mohawk!! He's starting to get hair, and after his bath time last night, I made him a mohawk. He then when and sat with Daddy, so I could take some pictures ;)

7 Months Old!

Lee is getting in his top 2 teeth and they are driving him crazy. His bottom ones are in, so now when he wants to chomp on your fingers it HURTS!! He doesn't like you looking at his top teeth either.

His sitting is almost perfect! He does so well and can almost get from a laying down position to a full sitting position. If we are next to him and we hold down his feet he can do it all by himself. However, if you are not next to him holding his feet, he will roll over onto his belly. I bet if he figured out how to get onto his elbows while laying on his back he could do it though.

I haven't taken any new pictures, so when I do I'll post some of them!


SIDE NOTES:
Awhile ago, my Mom bought me a smaller stroller to use when we went to Vegas, to take on the plane. Well, I have been using it a little bit when we are out at the mall so you can get into all those tight spaces. I was at my Dad's earlier this week and the front wheel started acting up. It was not working at all, and the whole stroller was veering off to the left. I had only used this stroller a handful of times. So, I took it back to Babies-r-Us and showed them, the manager ended up replacing it at full price, without the receipt or the box!! I was SHOCKED. Needless to say, I didn't get the same one again. I ended up getting one that was a little bit more, but well worth the money. I still LOVE my big stroller and use it most of the time, but it's nice to have this one on hand too when you need more room in the car or for crowded places.
