Sammy is finally crawling... although we still don't give him much opportunity. I wish we had carpet downstairs for him to have free range of the house. Until he's more stable he'll have to settle for the time we spend upstairs on the carpet, which is usually the time I spend on the computer.
Maddy is soooo close to having her first visit from the tooth fairy! Maybe she'll lose her tooth on the same day that Sammy gets his first :) Yes...he's 8 months and still has no teeth....just teething misery!
Christian is finally feeling like himself again, and with the tubes in his ears, he has super hearing!! No more whispering around Christian, can't keep any secrets from him!
We are weaning Samuel off of the prescription formula Neocate, onto regular Enfamil. I think it's going ok.. no obvious signs of an allergic reaction like diarrhea or eczema. But he has been very fussy lately and his cheeks have been turning bright red...but that could very well be from teething! We should find out more at his next well-child visit, 9 months old! His last doctor's visit showed him to be falling off the weight charts again. Grow, baby, grow!!!
I miss sleep! I really really miss it! Last Saturday Dane took Sammy for 4 hrs to let me get some sleep. I kept the baby monitor with me just in case Dane didn't wake up to his cry. During that time Dane just popped in a couple of movies. Samuel woke up about 7 times...all of which I heard...WHY oh why did I take the monitor with me! After Dane was done watching his movies, he came into me to come back and sleep with Sam (Sammy sleeps in a co-sleeper beside our bed) Dane had seen how much of a light sleeper Sam was, and knew that his snoring would wake him up. Next time I get another opportunity to sleep for 4 hours I'm definitely not taking the baby monitor... I figure if he screams loud enough I'll wake up!!!
