Weston- 7 months + Family stuff

7 months!
19 lbs
He seems to be "thinning out" and getting longer
 
What a joy these past months have been. So many times a day, I close my eyes, hold him tight, and thank God for giving him to us.

Weston is moving right along!

I'm fairly certain he is much more concerned about figuring out how to walk than crawl. Its been funny to watch him try to crawl. He gets around, but most of the time I'm just unsure how he does it. (As of today (7 months and 11 days... yes I'm late posting this) He finally crawled normal.) He tries so very hard to pull up and has a few times all on his own. This was his first time doing it on his own in the wagon, you can tell he was quite proud of himself.

 
Goes from laying to sitting up. So much so that it has been a NIGHTMARE! The very second he learned to sit up from being down, he refuses to lay down. Like put him to bed in a dead sleep, he awakes and sits right up. It was probably 2 weeks of dealing with that hard core....( if ever there was something to test your patience...........) now its only about 50% of the time... and you can bet that I am PRAYIN as I lay him down that he'll stay down.
Talk about frustrating!!!!!
Good thing he's cute

 
-Started saying "mamama"... and I'm fairly certain he knows what he's talkin' about when he says it, cuz he says it when he needs something from his mama. ;)

-
-We are still enjoying breastfeeding, although I've found myself a little sad that the nursing has slowed way down since starting solids.  He mostly only "relaxes" if we are laying down nursing. If were sitting up in a chair, he is doing everything in his power to NOT relax and enjoy, i.e. slapping, scratching, squeezing, jerking, chomping.
 
 
 

........so if you haven't figured it out yet, he is very afraid of missing out on something.

-Still no teeth. He'll go through spurts of "teething symptoms" and I'll think this is it, then like that it all disappears.

-recognizes when you say Dada, and recognizes his daddys voice. Always love to see him hear his daddy when he's been away from him. His eyes light up.

 
 
-
I'll just say this- siblings make his world go around.
 
 
Just cuz.

Weston, Liam & Konnor
 
We've been on several trips- After Thanksgiving, we went to NM to visit family there. The kids (&Nathaniel ;)) Had so much fun playing outside. We missed seeing Aunt DeeDee and her bunch, but Weston loved meeting his Uncle Jim and Aunt Veronica.
 
 
As a Christmas gift from their Nana, we went to The Great Wolf Lodge, and Holiday in the Park @ six flags.
He rocked it!

We had him out way past his bedtime most nights, and he took many stroller naps on our trip.
 
It took him a sec to get used to the water, but he was able to spend a little time in the water.
 
 
 
We also
 
 
He's so intrigued by the twins and he looks at them as if he is waiting for them to get up and play with him. ;) He is ready!!!
 
 
The fam!
 
We were able to keep him nice and toasty at Six Flags by bundling him up, and wearing him.

 
We had a blast at six flags. Its always a new experience as they get older and are able to do more things than the last time we went.
 
 
 
Although I love rollercoasters, I didn't ride a whole lot, but these 2 are gonna be my riding buddies through the years!!!
 
Weston even got to ride a few things with us!
 
We also went to Round Rock to see the adoption of a new cousin, and meet more cousins!

 
Wiped out and ready to go home.
 
 
 
He's a wonderful traveler!
