7 months old

Our sweet little Austin is a few days shy of 8 months!!! That's right, this is just a recap of his 7th month of life. He is the sweetest little guy and so happy all the time. This month he finally started sleeping in his crib!!! His reflux has settled down enough that it is ok for him to sleep flat on his back. It was a few nights of crying at first but now he loves it. He loves to sleep on his tummy. He usually goes to bed around 7pm and wakes once at night to eat, then sleeps until about 6:30am. He went through a phase of waking at 5am for the day and we had to fix that right away. There was no way I could function getting up that early. He LOVES applesauce. He now has 4 teeth on the top and 3 teeth on the bottom! He has bitten me a few times on my shoulder, something Kylee never did. I started giving him rice puffs witch he loves. He has started to crawl witch means I need to be on the look out ALL the time.

He loves swinging at the park! He could sit in there forever, just like his sister.

He is still such a good traveler!! No joke, this baby can fall asleep any place, anywhere. I feel so blessed to have such an easy going baby. I usually try and stay home for his naps now that he is more on a schedule. He usually naps 9am, 1pm and 4pm. He is not a long napper :( That is why I usually just like to run errands and let him catch a nap when he feels like it. I know it's not ideal but he is a trooper and I am always home so he can take his afternoon nap in his crib.

The funniest thing happened the other day. It was in the late afternoon and Jeremy was rocking Austin while watch sports on TV. All of a sudden Austin starts rubbing his eyes. The next thing we knew.... he was out!!! What a crack up!!! Only his daddy can put him to sleep like this :)

Out cold. Thanks dad!

This picture was taken before Austin could crawl. He loved to just sit and play with his toys! As long as anyone was in the room with him he would sit there and be so happy.
Austin LOVES bath time!!! As soon as the water starts running he starts laughing and screaming! It's so nice that he can sit up now and I can bathe the kids together. It's much quicker and actually easier.

Austin loves to play on whatever toy Kylee is playing on. He will actually sit on this horse for a while. I am right next to him the entire time of course.

Austin is such a boy. He already loves to play and wrestle on the ground with daddy. I love my two sweet, smiling boys!
