Andrew 7 months

Yes, Andrew turned 7 months 3 weeks ago, but I just haven’t been in the mood or have had the time for blogging. I pulled my back, I haven’t been getting much sleep because of my thyroid and I just feel like a zombie all day long. I think that should excuse me for slacking on the posts.
Today is the magic night when I just had one report to do for my shops, the kids were good all day long and I have nothing else that I have to do before Spencer gets home from work.7 Big months, He is already passed the ½ a year mark and getting closer to the year, my goodness time goes by so fast.

7 months and 7 things he loves to do:

1) He loves his 4 oz evenflo bottle. He hates the bigger bottles and would not trade them for anything in the world.

2) He loves his food, although hard cereals or other things are considered disgusting. He makes the silliest faces whenever I put cheerios on his lips and even gags if I leave them too close to his mouth.

3) Loves his little bounce-a-roo. Can stay sitting there for long time until he seems me wander off and starts to cry

4) A.D loves his mobile. Josh thinks is hilarious when Andrew starts grabbing a pulling the thing and he makes it bounce all over the place. Of course that just encourages A.D who pulls the poor mobile even harder to entertain his brother.
Sometimes when he gets under the ceiling fan on our living room he gets over excited trying to reach it thinking it is his mobile

5) Loves to bang on things, you name it, the floor, his toys, the high chair, ME. He has busy hands

6) Loves to rock back and forth on his knees. He won’t crawl yet, but he is pretty close

7) He loves to suck on his lips. Top, bottom and sometimes if you are lucky you'll see a double lip combo.

How blessed is our family to have this little boy be part of it. He makes us all smile every day.
He is used to be such a good sleeper until I decided to give him the flu shot and ever since he is been waking up at least once at night, which I am not enjoying much. It takes me forever to fall back asleep.

Andrew is so attentive. He stares attentively whenever we are around and watches you very carefully. His voice is definitely making an appearance. I’ll be doing something in the kitchen and all the sudden I hear a growl from him on the other side of the room, which usually follows after an attempt to attack the cat

He can’t crawl yet, but between scooting backwards, turning and rolling over he goes and gets what he wants. Makes me wonder how much concentration and planning it requires of him. So I have to say he is definitely mobile in that way.

He really wouldn’t trade his bottle for the world. This are the bottles that Julia cried about every time I gave to her, Josh tried them for a couple of months before disliking them, but they are this little boy’s treasure. It is the only bottle he would take, which just makes my work harder because 4 oz of milk are gone in a blink with this guy

His two bottom teeth have made an apparition and you can actually see them. He loves to play with those choppers and spends a long time biting his own fingers with them.

He is a great kid. Whenever I go to places he is content and happy, never screams and is just so mellow. I don’t think people believe me when I tell them that all he wants at home is his mama

Josh and him had started a new friendship which is definitely bugging Julia. Andrew loves when Josh makes some silly baby noises and the second that Josh is close he just growls at him and starts to attack him. This is the same behavior Josh had with me when he was this age.
Poor Julia feels out of the loop and keeps insisting that as soon as I get feeling better she would like a baby sister. I am baby hungry again and it is for a little girl too. So I guess we’ll have to be patient together.

I can leave Andrew in the boy’s room because they don’t have any small toys that he could chock on while I was folding cloths in my room. Then all the sudden I hear him cry, it was his I am stuck kind of cry. I go to the room to check on him and he is not there. I asked Julia if she had taken him somewhere else, she nods. This boy of mine had crawl under Josh’s bed and got stuck. I didn’t see him because he got passed the bed skirt which completely covered him. How did he do it, I don’t know since there is just a little space between Josh’s bed and the floor but there you have it something to remember.

Happy birth month little bug, I’ll post again in a couple of weeks I guess sometime in March since there are only 28 days in February.
