7 months

Cael is seven months old already. He hardley seems like a baby anymore, especially next to his two new cousins. He is a pretty good eater, but not a big eater. He doesn't really eat a lot but I've never really seen him spit anything out. I got a baby bullet at my baby shower and I love it. I use it for everything and have even pureed a few of our meals for him. He LOVES vegetable beef soup but I don't know that his tummy was ready for it. He had a rough night after two bowls of it. He eats sweet potatos, squash, carrots, green beans, pears, apples, peaches, bananas, yogurt. He takes two 2-2 1/2 hours naps everyday, but hasn't figured out how to sleep at nights. He has been terrible the last few weeks and I hope its just his teeth coming. I don't know but I'm exhausted. He is so close to crawling. He gets up on all fours but hasn't figured out how to move them forward. He army crawls all over. He loves his new crib. He slept in a pack and play for four months while we lived in Jay and Becky's basement. He is a talkative little boy and jabbers all day long and likes to have screaming contests with his dad. He also loves to go shopping! I can take him shopping all day long by myself and he doesn't fuss one time. As long as I have a shopping cart and stuff for him to look at, he is pretty happy. He actually makes it fun and other shoppers will pull faces and talk to him and laugh with him behind my back. I guess they are entertained too.
 
We tried out the new laundry room sink before we could even get unpacked because he had a huge mess down both legs. Its really nice to be in our own house and have all the space we need to run and play with him. It is a nice home to raise a family in.

Six Months

Cael is already six months old! He loves his cousins. Ava is 7 months older than Cael and Jensen was just born on August 21st. He likes to watch the older kids play and I know he wishes so bad he could just jump up and run around with them. He is going to be a rowdy child. At his six month appointment he weighed 15.6 lbs and was in the 15%. He has to touch everything within reach with his hands and his mouth. He is a little stinker. He has learned how to spit and I don't find it as funny as dad does. But he makes me smile. He is such a happy little boy and his blue eyes just melt my heart. I love him so much! We went to watch Grandpa at the roping a couple weeks ago and Grandpa won a check! And Cael got to ride Congo. He loves to watch the horses.

Last House Update

I hope this is my last update on the house before I'm living in it. I was trying to be optimistic when I said September 1st, now I'm just going to say October 1st and if I'm lucky it will be the weekend of September 22nd. :) The cupboards are set and the they are templating the granite counters today. There is alot to do still but I hope it goes fast.

I love all of my cabinets and closets by the way. Our house was built for storage. I love it, Casey thinks its overkill. No way! I'm excited to have my pantry and fruit room done. I have been working on getting it filled. I have put up 6 cases of beans, 4 cases of peaches, 2 cases of pickels, 2 cases of salsa, and I'm working on 2-3 cases of pears.




 
I lost count, but we have over 30 doors in the house. Glad we hired a painter instead of trying to do it on our own!
