Pictures taken 2 minutes before...

Wilson fell straight into the wall. He now has a little knot on his forehead that is blue....

Poor guy, if he is anything like his mother (who hits her head like 20 times a day) he doesn't have a chance.

Fun with Daddy video

Well folks, I finally have all the parts and pieces needed to upload video, and have successful downloaded some recordings to the computer. Yey!!! I hope you enjoy this one. It's a little long, but worth it. (At least I think so!)

Toys

Why must my child want to eat or play with everything that is NOT a toy? Seriously. His favorite things, in no particular order:
Spatula
Cords (Yes, we are trying to break this unsafe joy of his.)
Curtains
Buckeye
Shoes
Dust Pan

I guess the moral here is don't waste your money on real toys where you have a house full of novel items.

Busy-ness and Wilson

Sorry no Wilson posts lately I know you are all in withdraw, but Mom has been busy with clinic and school. I had a class exam yesterday along with my clinic exam and I can happily report I am doing well. A rock star, if you will. Wait a minute, rock stars don't do well in school; they drink and party all the time. Maybe I just want to BE a rock star. Hmm? Okay, so I am NOT a rock star but I am doing pretty well with my life balancing act (school, Wilson, Chris away, and renovations). Thank GOODNESS!!
I was sick last week and didn't know if was was going to be able to pull it off but with the help of some antibiotics my cold/sinus infection is on its way out. I know my body needs a serious break and I plan on taking that break in December. (Hopefully I can make it until then.) I need to take a few days and do nothing but sleep, soak and read. Maybe even forget reading. I might even get my hair cut and eye brows waxed (it has been since JUNE you know).

Okay, okay, back to WILSON. Sorry. I didn't mean to bore you with me. Wilson is doing well. He has actually slept 7 and 8 hours straight lately. Not in a row but he is getting there. The funny thing is that he slept 7 hours straight, woke up and nursed then went back to sleep for 4 hours, on his FIRST night taking acid reflux medication. I think we might be on to something here!!

Everything else is going well with the little man. He is still growing like mad (at this rate he is going to be 7 feet in kindergarten). He is loving eating pieces of real food and is also starting to pull himself up on our coffee table. (He would have probably been doing that for awhile but we didn't have a coffee table before Sunday.) He still has not crawled yet, but somehow manages to pull/drag himself forward ,while he is still laying on his belly.
He loves, and I mean LOVES, the water. When he takes a bath he sticks his face in the water then pops it up and smiles. The other night he fell backwards and went completely under. After I calmly lifted him back to a sitting position he looked at me, paused for a second (as if he was trying to read my expression for how to react) then started laughing.

Alright...I need to get. Clinic calls. I will try to post pictures later of tonight. Wilson is going to be a puppy. Happy Halloween!

8 Months old (Yesterday)

It is hard to believe. Isn't it? Wilson is indeed 8 months old. And just in the past two days it seems as though he has changed from baby to little boy. We have started eating "real" food (i.e. cut up bananas and fruit/veggie puffs) and he is seconds, SECONDS, away from crawling.

What an expression...

Yesterday he started picking his hands up and down when he is on his knees. He has been rocking back and forth for a few weeks now but the arm movement is new. It is SO funny because he will rock and grab (my lingo for his new movement) then he will fall down and make some silly expression (like the picture above) and roll to get what he wants.

I gotta run. I need to get Wilson in the tub before it gets too late. Hope you enjoy the pictures. More to come....soon.
