Our babies are growing up

Ryan gave me an iPad for Christmas and I LOVE it!   Someone else in our family loves it too. 

I was up early with Tyson and Quinn while Ryan slept in last weekend.  As I was changing Quinn's diaper, Tyson made his way downstairs by himself.  When I got to him, just a few minutes later, I found him sitting on the couch with my iPad. 

He had turned it on, unlocked it, found his way to the screen with the apps and was playing one of his games, Shapes.  Are you kidding me?  He's 2 and a half and he's already knows his way around technology?  To be fair, his nanny has an iPhone and an iPad and he's played with both, but still.  My brother warned me that I would have to share my toy with my son and he was right.  Now anytime I have it, he asks to play a game. 


Then, there's sweet just-a-few-days-shy of 8 months Quinn.  She's been standing for quite a while, but only holding on to our hands and we pull her up.  She's now figured out how to pull herself up on our ottomans.  Big girl.  :tears from mama:




And, she's figured out how to feed herself. 



They need to stop growing up so fast!

Quinn - 7 months



Weight: Not sure, maybe 16ish pounds.  She'll be weighed again at her 9m appointment.

Height: Not sure.  She'll be measured again at her 9m appointment.

Size: Size 2 diaper.  Still wearing most of her 3-6m clothes, 6m Carters pjs, onesies and pants, 6-12m one-piece outfits. 

Hair: Getting longer all the time!

Teeth: 2 bottom teeth are fully through.  I think she may be working on some top teeth now. 

Sleeping:  Sleeps in her crib for naps and bedtime.  She goes down for the night between 7-8pm and wakes for the day between 7-8am. She takes 2 naps per day, one longer one in the mornings (2 hours) and a shorter one in the afternoon (1-1.5 hours).   Naps in her crib are getting much better!   If we catch her before she's overtired, she'll put herself to sleep for naps.

She's still waking at least once per night either for a paci or for a small bottle.   We know she can sleep through the night, but for whatever reason she cannot do it consistently. 

Eating: 4-5 7oz. bottles of Alimentum throughout the day, one 4oz bottle in the middle of the night if she wakes.  Solids 1x per day, in the evening.  After a slow start with the solids, she's figured it out and she's doing really well now.  She's tried and liked oatmeal, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, peaches, pears and applesauce. 

Movement: She's army crawling!  It started about 2 weeks ago and it's the funniest thing.  She just inch worms her way around, but she gets to where she wants to go and much quicker than we want her to.  She loves hold your hands and stand up and she'll stand by herself and hang on to our ottomans. 

Milestones:  Solids, teeth, crawling, visiting Santa.

Favorite toys/activities: Tyson, by far.  She LOVES him.  She also really loves the little picnic basket she got for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa W.

Dislikes: Being hungry or tired. 

Words: Still just chattering and screeching.






Even though I can't get her to smile for the camera very often, she's really a very content baby!  We love having this little girl in our lives.  ♥

Sweet Baby Faces

I'm pretty pleased with my new lens that I tried out today. :)

Day 4, for me anyway

Another day, another poor photo. I guess I have to focus on taking better shots, regardless of my lighting conditions since I can't change those for now. I have to take my photos either in the early morning (when it's dark) or in the evening after work (also when it's dark). Such is life!

My sleepy little man, just after waking up this morning.



I'm not sure how he ended up with that crease on his forehead. :(

Sweet Baby

In Daddy's arms:



I only like this photo because of the subjects, but the lighting in our house is awful in the evenings. Oh well, keep practicing, right?

Serious Baby

This drooling business is serious stuff.

Project 36(4)

The idea behind Project 365(4) is to take one picture each day for the entire year. It was my plan to start on New Year's Day, but I completely forgot. So much for New Year's Resolutions, huh? As a result, I'm going to try to do Project 364.

Tyson has just started pulling up, so I caught him in the act today.

7 Month Pics

I'm behind in getting my pictures together, but here's a few of Tyson just a few days after his 7 monthday.

Silly boy

I'm over all of these pictures

Mama, I'm done with this sticker.

Baby's Got Some New Tricks

Just this week Tyson learned to get himself into a sitting position on his own and he's started pulling himself up to a stand.

Must babyproof stat!

Snow Baby

It snowed for the first time enough to get Tyson dressed in his snowsuit and take him outside to "play" in the snow. He did not appreciate it at all.








Oh, and I'm a bad mom for failing to realize that his mitten came off his little hand. Sorry Tyson!

Tyson's First Christmas

Tyson celebrated his first Christmas with Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa H's house:



Sitting atop the giant stack of gifts:

At home with Mama and Daddy on Christmas morning:

He's getting good at opening presents



Ooooh!
The wrapping paper is more fun than what's inside!

We had a wonderful Christmas with family. Thank you everyone!

One Year Ago Today...

We found out that Baby Holt was a boy! He's come a long way in a year, but we couldn't be more in love with our sweet little boy.
