Bodhi - seven months

Weight: 19 lbs 11.5 oz - 85th percentile
Length: 2 ft 4.25 inches - 85th percentile
Size 9-12 month clothes
Size 3/4 diapers

Eats: 6-8 ounce bottles. He was eating one container of baby food a day for supper, but I am going to do 2 from now on. So far hes liked sweet potatoes (favorite), banana, and apple. He does not want anything to do with baby cheetos.

Sleep: He has one or 2 short naps in the morning and then a long nap around 3.
We just started sleep training and we are going to do it the same way we did Harper...he is going to sleep in the play room until he sleeps through the night. I put him in the pack-n-play around 8 and he falls asleep pretty quick. Its nice to do it this way because then from 8-whenever I go to bed if he does fuss a little hes right in the next room so hes close. And then during the night I can get some sleep upstairs....he started stomping in his sleep and it woke me up every.single.time and after a few nights of that I was like alright this is not going to work!

Im going to have to start getting creative with the blocks because now all he wants to do is play with them! Its tricky to get a picture before he smacks them away haha

-LOVES his exersaucer. He can move and jump and rock in it now.
-He loves playing on the floor and scooting all over the place, Alikah and Harper, "Wheres the baby?!", tickles, baths, eating, blankies, nunu, being sung too, going for walks, umbrella stollers...
-He drolls a lot and loves spitting.
-Stills rubs my face and tries to get my glasses. He plays with my earrings now too.

5/2/13 - First time in the big bathtub. Took one with Harper and sat in the baby seat!
5/9/13 - First night in the playroom.

He was very sleepy at his appointment this morning. Doctor said he couldnt look more perfect. Obviously :)

Heather (my sister) asked us to stay over all Mother's Day weekend, so we did. On Saturday morning I woke up to people laughing and talking. I thought I was dreaming for awhile. I shook Spencer awake and asked him what time it was. It was 6 AM so I was like what the fuck is going on?? and went upstairs to see.

I walked up and Gina (my other sister that lives in the Philippines) was there!! She had came and surprised our mom for Mother's Day!! Only Heather and a few other people knew, it was pulled off perfectly! Ill have to write about the rest of the day in another post....
See you in October! Love you <3

mothers day

On Mother's Day I went to the mall with my mom, Heather and Alikah. We got pedicures first.
Alikah sat on Heather's lap and then got her toes and fingers painted while all our toes were drying. She didnt really like it. She was so serious the whole time, never smiled. Which isnt surprising of course, she is not very girly at all. When we asked her what color to get: "black." (She ended up with purple.)
Ive had maybe 5 pedicures in my life and theyve all been in the last few years, so neither of us are big fans I guess. Ill never understand the girls that go & spend money constantly on that kind of stuff.

This was the best smile Heather could get out of her. After hocolate bribery. 

I asked Alikah before I sat down if she had to go to the bathroom. Nope. Halfway through our pedicures: "I have to go potty!" Ha. So the guy doing Heather's gets up and opens the door for her and she goes in. She comes back out with her pants around her ankles, "I cant get on the toilet!"
He goes running in and helps her on, stands outside the door and helps her off.
"My undies are wrong!" The poor guy is trying to fix her undies and pants and half her shirt ends up in her undies but it was close enough.
Oh man it was pretty entertaining all the ladies were laughing.
(Also dont worry, we know them all pretty well. I didnt let a total stranger help my daughter pee.)

Afterwards we got some pretzels at the food court and then went into the forever 21 accessories store. Alikah had a blast. She was walking around with hats on, bracelets all the way up her arms, sunglasses, etc. When we left she got to pick out one of the bracelets and a hat.
Guess what hat she wanted? "The black one!"
My mom didnt want to get her that one so she chose a huge green one instead. I love her.

Last we went to Gap and I stocked up on tank tops and got a new skirt. Seriously all I wear in summer is beaters and skirts. A few of my Target beaters got ruined in the last year so I was in need of  new ones.

Spencer got me some granola and smores nut blend for a mother's day present. Haha sounds weird but I LOVE granola, and I am obsessed with the smores blend. Obsessed. I do this really weird thing where once I find a food I love, I stop eating it. So it sits on my shelf. In my mind I am "saving it" for a good time. I know, I am stupid. Anyway....I have been out of it since we moved because they dont sell it anywhere around us. I ate one right away. It was a "good time" :)

Yesterday it was so nice out. We were outside for a minute and I decided it was a good day to bring out the kiddie pool and clean it. I got in a quick scrub down and then filled it up a few inches with buckets (we dont have a hose yet.) Alikah wouldnt even put her suit on she was all excited so she was just running around in her underwear. I thought the water would be too cold for Harper but oh my god, he LOVED it! I wish I had a video of the first time I put him it. He just started squealing and splashing and crawling all over. He cried when I took him out to warm him up quick. It was so cute.
