7 months, sickness, losing my mind.

Yesterday was eventful. It was the first real signs of a sick baby. Not to mention, Danny hasn't felt well either. So, I stayed home and spent the day with the both of them. Lucas has an ear infection, cold, and told that his 2 top teeth are coming down and coming fast. She said his gums were very very swollen and that it wouldnt be long before we had 2 more teeth...if I could have taken a pic of my face, reciving all of this information, I would have. A lot of information in one visit. Very overwhelming.

Our crawling situation still has not gotten any better. I noticed a few nights ago that when he rolls over onto his stomach in the middle of the night he will get up on all 4's and go backwards! Fantastic.

Lucas and I have been spending our nights on his bedroom floor. I may need to see the chiropractor in a few weeks after this ear infection/cold ordeal is over with. He is waking up every hour almost and its just easier for me to stay in there and be with him then ge tup 100000000000 times in the night back and forth from our bedroom to his bedroom. The pac-n-play is at Gramma Beths so that would be more convenient for next time. I need to get that from her :) ha!

Lucas turns 7 months old tomorrow. Still seems unreal at times.

Love you baby boy<3

At the doctor :(

worst fear.

So lately I have been feeling really guilty about Lucas not being able to crawl yet. I see other babies that are his age and doing so well and showing steady signs of wanting to crawl, and he just lays there. Well, technically, he screams the whole time so doesnt really even lay there. Last night was the first real signs of him wanting to put pressure on his forearms. He hates tummy time so his development in his upper extremities has been slow. We can put him on his belly for a few minutes, then he is done. He lets you know. That is one thing I love about him, he definately tells you when he is not happy.

Last night we practiced putting pressure on our arms and legs and even got up on all fours before he tumbled over. Then we took a bath. He had gotten tons of fuzz on his fingers and neck so I decided to throw him in the tub. Well, not throw. You kow what I mean. Here is a video of Lucas in the tub. Dont judge me on the ending, it was a total accident and no child was injured in the process :)

6 1/2 months old.

He also loves sitting up and playing wth toy trucks and musical things. I love this part. He is learning very quickly and seems to be entertained with the most simplest of things. Daddys hats, remote, socks, blankers, bears, spoons, straws. Although most of these things are given to him by me and under strict supervision, I love that he can enjoy all of them.

We were given a swing by our good friends, The Kikendall's, for his baby shower. Lucas loves this swing. It has literally been our saving grace. Unfortunately, the little, well growing bigger, Lucas is starting to sit up in it and getting close to the weight limit. I am not ready for him to outgrow this part of his journey. I have spent many hours watching him sleep, talk, laugh in this swing and its just a bittersweet moment that I have ahead of me. Here are a few pics of his moments in this wonderful gift :)
