His winter coat is still a little big for him, but it does keep him warm. By the end of the winter it should fit just right. : )
I have been doing some grant writing the last couple weeks, and Max has already started with the separation anxiety, so we have had some fussy times, but here's a happy smile - playing with a new toy from the Barrs.
I see baby Mike when I look at this picture of Max:
I just took this picture off my phone. At Christmas we definitely thought there were some teeth coming - but still no evidence. With as much as he enjoyed gnawing on the chair, I am surprised he hasn't started doing this with his crib rails.
In less than a week Max will be 8 months old. He is starting to wave, cruising around his crib, holding up his arms to be picked up, showing a preference for certain toys (especially non-toy cell phones and remote controls!), and sleeping through the night!!! Hooray sleep training. It is certainly a work in progress, with short short naps during the day, but having him out of our bed and sleeping almost 12 hours at night feels like a small miracle.
Just a heads up - they sell teething guards for cribs at Babies R Us. Connor got his two bottom teeth at 7 months (still no others three months later) and started using his crib as a teething ring. It looked like we trapped a dog in there. OK it wasn't that bad, but we don't feel so bad about him gnawing on the rails anymore and he seems to like it.
ReplyDeleteConnor also has the exact same affection for our cell phones and remotes. We even gave him a battery-less remote so he could play with, but he still wants the real one. He has two toy cell phones, but would much rather play with Mom & Dad's.
Congrats on the sleep training!
