Thing 3 is 7 months old!

Our Little Lucky Charm turns 7 months this week!

 He loves to crawl, climb, and pull himself up on everything! 


Height/Weight: James had his 6th month appointment on March 3rd, and he was weighing in at 17.5 lbs (41th percentile) and was 27.5 inches (76th percentile)

Routine: James is still on the same routine, and doing great... however he finally gets his daddy back and his new house, so as of next week keep him in your prayers as he readjusts yet again!

Sleeping: James is definitely going through a growth spurt. The last week he has added a nap a day... he will just fall asleep anywhere poor kid lol

Eating/Feeding: James is eating pretty much any fruit and veggies. We do fruit in the am and then a veggie right before bed. Then he nurses the rest of the day still about every 3 hours.

Sizes: Our big boy is still in 6-9 month clothing

Milestones:
This kid is just growing and learning faster than I can keep up with him!
He is saying Mama now!!! He says dada more still though ;)
He is learning to drink from a cup if I pump for him.
He can pick up his solid food and put it in his own mouth. 
He is all boy and loves splashing and drumming on things :)
And he gives the best hugs and kisses when he is feeling lovie!!! 
He is learning table Etiquette at restaurants 

 He has learned he loves yogurt 
He had his 1st trip to the book store to pick out his own books :) 
 He loves to play Airplane 
 He can sit up and stay sitting up on his own now 
He had his 1st trip to the pool
 He can go up and down the stairs
And he can bathe in the tub with no seat, but only when I am willing to let him slash for at least 20 mins ;)
Despite Missing Daddy it has been such a great few months 
of spending my everyday with this little man!

Our New Home Part 3: February

March I am so excited you are finally here! 
I get my husband and my new house this month, so I am pretty trilled! February went by surprisingly fast, and so did the building of our home! 

This was our house the last day of January
And this is it the last day of February 
It is coming along pretty quick I think! 
With this beautiful weather we have been taking walks to see the house every few days, and of course we took selfies every time ;)
 1st every time we went there was big changes, but lately we have to look to see what they did!
 The bathrooms are done
 The lighting is done, and working
 The carpet and it's 16lb pad are laid for James to learn to walk on :)
And all the walls are painted 
(not the color I will leave them, because we didn't want the builder painting)
One of the things I am so excited for is our kitchen. We choose not to have the builder so any upgrades, do that we can build our dream kitchen while adding equity.
 That being said I am really happy with the way it came out for being "free"
Now that the whole inside is done we have to have a key to get in, and we should have a closing date this week while they finish my new front yard and fence :)
Of course this means my mother in law and I are loving going to Home Depo often! 
She is helping me design my dream walk in closet as our house warming gift, and helping us pick out paint.... James thinks red is nice ;)

As this exciting process is coming to a peak and Mike is coming home to us keep our family in your prayers please!
