Walker Monthly Update: Month Seven

Oh my goodness. Time sure does fly by. Walker is now seven months and I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He has grown so much in just month. He has learned so many new things this month.

hiding under the chair | cutie | playing with diapers
first rain | pumpkin patch | silly faces
smiles | favorite place to play | laughs

Some of the new things that Walker has found out about are pulling himself up on anything. He isn't at the point where he can pull himself up to sit or stand it is more like pulling himself up on little steps like his play gym thing, which is one of his favorite things to do! He has found out that he can make noises with his mouth. His favorite one right now is like a dinosaur noise. He also makes other cute little noises. He has found out that he can grab my hair and face, which isn't to fun all the time especially when he is drinking his bottle and I am trying to put him down for a nap.

Walker loves to play. He is sure crawling all over. He loves to be held my his mommy. Such a mamas boy. He is now eating veggies or fruits three times a day and drinking a bottle. Walker is such a big boy. He is still tall and skinny but he has grow so much in just a month.

Walker loves to laugh. He thinks animals like our cat or someone's dog are just the funniest thing. He will chase after our cat and our cat just gets up and move away and then walker will try to get him again. It's so cute. He loves to play with our friend the Lopez's dog, Molly, he just thinks she is just the funniest especially when she comes and licks walker.

This month walker discovered something that he has been trying to figure out how to do for a while. So when Walker chases after the cat, the cat goes under the table because Walker didn't know how to get under there. So the other day I was changing Walker and before I knew it he was under the chair that is in room. He ducked his head and went under without hitting his head, which usually happens. He has now figured out how to go under things. So now our cat has to find another hiding spot.

I am still a stay at home mom and I love being able to spend my days with walker. He always puts a smile on my face. He just loves to be with me and loves it when daddy gets home. I can't wait to see what he figures out this next month.

Walker Monthly Update: Month Six

I can not believe how fast Walker is growing up. To me it is crazy to think that I gave birth to this sweet little boy just 6 months ago. He is the most amazing thing in my life and I could not be more happy. So much has happened this past 6 months, that it seems like it wasn't just 6 months ago that Walker came to join Casey and I. It is just mind-boggling.

His 6 month doctor went great this month. He loves going to the doctors until it comes to the end of the appointment and he has to get his shots. He always is so happy to see the doctor and she makes him laugh. I love our doctor too. She seems really real and understands how life really is with a little guy around. His stats are great, she said that he is tall but still good.

     Weight: 15 lbs 14 oz / 50 percentile

     Height: 26.5 inches / 80 percentile

     Head: 43.5 cm

This month Walker has found out that he can do much more than just roll around on the floor and play in his bouncer. He is now talking away and laughing while you play with him. Even when you aren't playing with him he is just making sweet sounds. He is also now figuring out how "army crawling" all over. He still loves eating veggies but this month we started to give him fruits and oh boy he sure does love them.

I stopped breast feeding him this month. It has been super hot during the day that I only breast feed him at night when he wakes up. But now that we have started 'sleep training' him, I not don't breast feed him. It is nice to be able to sleep through the night but I do miss having that bonding time with him. I also believe that Walker is getting a tooth. It should be coming in soon but who knows. He is totally acting like his is teething one day and the next its like nothing is going on.

Walker loves to grab. He is grabs about everything he can get his hands on and then try to put it in his mouth. He is sure a little boy and I absolutely love it! We have started to read him book and he is more interested in putting the books in his mouth than the actual story.

He is sure growing up right before my eyes and I can't believe it. I am so happy about how he is growing up but at the same time it is sad because before I know it he won't be my little baby boy, he will be my big boy. He is the love of my life and I don't know what my life would be without him! :]
