6 Months...A Little Late

I think I start most posts out this way but it is hard to believe how fast time is going. Peyton is almost 7 months old! The little man is growing and changing so fast. It has definitely been a month of firsts for Peyton.

Here are this month's firsts:

-eating "food". he is eating oatmeal, veggies and fruits. He favors veggies and is not a big fan of fruits. His favorites are green beans and squash. He also likes to "snack" on Baby Mum Mums.

-using a sippy cup- he loves water and chewing on the spout.

-teeth- after a month of thinking that they were "right there", they finally showed up. Peyton's bottom two teeth popped through two days apart.

-rolling- he has been rolling from his stomach to back and the other way around but this month he really started to ROLL to get places. If he sees a toy that he wants but it is out of his reach, he will roll and roll until he can get it.

-scooting- he is also scooting backwards to get places. Just the other day he started getting up on his knees. Watch out World...he's comin' to get you!

-sitting up- he is not very stable but every once in a while he can sit up and play for a couple of minutes. He loves being upright and seeing what's around.

-sickness- the last 6-8 weeks have been rough for the whole family. Peyton woke up one morning and his breathing sounded a little "junky" so I took him to the doctor. Unknown to us, he had TWO ear infections and some wheezing.We never would have known that he had ear infections b/c he never was fussy or cranky! Needless to say, it's been over a month and after two more trips to the doctor and a trip to the ER in a hurricane, he is on another round of antibiotics and two different breathing treatments twice a day! Poor dude.

-giggles- he loves it when you talk to him in silly voices or when you tickle him. You can't help but giggle when he does!

Mmmm.. frozen.bananas

Sitting up to play with my toys!

See, I told you he has been a busy boy! He has also been growing. He weighed in at 19lbs (75th %) and 27 3/4 inches (95th%).  He is still just as happy as can be and such a delight to be around. His smile lights up the room!
