Playing at the gym

So, I've enrolled Ryan into a class at My Gym Saturday mornings in Kent. I'm so excited he is finally old enough to finally go to some of these classes. Now that he is crawling, I wasn't as concerned to let him crawl around without getting hurt! Afterwards, he never slept better for me on a weekend! Looking forward to next week!

7 Months Old!

Where is the time going?! My little buddy turned 7 months yesterday! It also had been exactly one year that we found out we would be having a little boy. How our worlds changed forever that day that we knew we would have our precious boy to add to our family. I couldn't imagine my family any other way! Now, he is 7 months old...where did he time go!

Ryan has learned so much in this last month! He is eating solids, although he isn't a huge eater. He takes maybe 10-15 bites and then tightly closes his lips so I can't get the spoon in. Sometimes I can trick him and get him laughing pretty hard, then sneak the spoon into his mouth. His first started out on sweet potatoes. After that we have since tried squash, carrots, green beans, peas, pears, apples and peaches. His favorite so far are peas!

He is also becoming more mobile. He has mastered sitting up and can also get to a sitting position from his tummy. He woke up in the middle of the night one night and I went in to calm him and I found him sitting up in his crib. Woah! (I think that was my exact word!) Good thing we had just lowered his mattress to the lowest setting.

He also really wants to crawl. He can get his knees under him and rock back and forth. Today he was doing a very good downward facing dog pose. Maybe I should enroll him in yoga?!

Since he has started become more mobile, his sleep has now regressed to like the days when we first brought him home from the hospital! Sucky!! He wants to continue working on his new skills! He will fall asleep in my arms and the minute I put him down, he starts to scream. And then it starts the cycle of waking up almost every 2 hours. Ugh! Makes momma very tired and difficult to concentrate at work! I'm hoping this is just a phase and he will go back to sleeping soundly!
