My Little Monkey


John had his first Halloween party tonight. We joined a parents group through the hospital with other couples in our area that had babies around the same time as us. It is a fun group, and it has been so much fun to see all of the different babies and how different they are every two weeks. John had so much fun at the party tonight. He didn't even really fuss with his costume! We actually didn't make him wear the "body" part of the costume, because it was so big and every time we would sit him up, he would fall over. It was kind of like A Christmas Story! Anyways, it was so fun to see all the babies in their costumes! They were all so cute!

John has another Halloween party for his daycare next Thursday night, and we are going to a Halloween zoo exhibit on Friday night with my parents and Jenny, Doug, and Libby. So more monkey to come! Here are some pictures from tonight...he was so cute!

7 Months!




I know, I know, I say this every month...but SERIOUSLY, 7 months already?! Time is really flying by now, especially since I have been back at work. John is still doing great. He (I) survived his first ear infection and antibiotics. He is finally feeling better and hopefully will stay healthy for a while. I know it is inevitable with him being in daycare now, but I always feel so bad for him when he is sick.

At 7 months, John has been sleeping pretty good. We had a little setback when he was sick, but he usually is in bed by 8:30 and then we wake him up at 6:30. He takes about 2 or 3 naps during the day, and has been eating more and more baby foods in addition to his bottles. We introduced yogurt on Sunday and he LOVES it.

He has been moving all over the place lately. He loves to stand and jump. Standing, jumping, rocking, scooting, you name it. He will not sit still. Check out this picture...he just started going on all fours today!

This past weekend we were pretty busy just catching up from the week. Our kitchen is totally bare, so we are still living out of boxes. Hopefully by the end of next week the majority of it will be finished, so I can't wait to post pictures then! Brad and my dad installed a ceiling fan in John's room on Saturday, so John and I headed to my parents house to hang out with my mom and Libby (Jenny and Doug were at the MSU/U of M game). Then my parents watched John so Brad and I could go out to dinner. The weekend flew by, but it was nice. The weather has been so great, it makes everything nice. I really don't want winter to come!

Enjoy the rest of the pics from the weekend and tonight. John was being such a little ham today. Hope everyone has a good week!

Weekend in Indiana

We had a great weekend in Indiana this past week. It was so nice to relax and see family. John did so great, we were so proud of him! We had a big party on Saturday, and he was a champ! He slept pretty good in his pack and play, and was super in the car. Thank you Don, Nan, and Lisa for a great weekend! Here are some pictures from our weekend...
