Happy 7 Months Old!!!

Today, DJ turns 7 months old! Very crazy to think he has been here 7 months already, but at the same time I can't imagine lift without him.
What is DJ up to:

- He is extremely sturdy when sitting up now.

- He is rolling over more and more.  He still struggles with rolling from his belly to his back.

- He can scoot backwards, but hasn't started crawling yet.

- He loves to be in his walker and has really started walking around the house.  Today you actually moved from the front doorway into the living room!

- He loves his musical rhyme book that Nana got him for Christmas.

- He goes to bed around 8 pm and wakes up around 6 am (with an occasional wake up in the middle of the night).

- He loves Pear juice.

- He loves to bananas, apples, prunes, carrots, and squash.

- He really isn't a fan of vegetables so we have been getting food combinations with vegetables and fruit.

- He loves his little stuffed football that is attached to a mini blanket…needs it every time he goes to sleep.

- He is a babbler!  We enjoy listening to him make noises and "talk" to us.

-He absolutely adores his big brother, Will.  Will walks in the room and his face lights up!  

Dj we love you so much! Life is complete for mommy! You have so many great characteristics and I see a lot of your papa in you!  He would be so proud of you and spoil you just like Nana does!  Your smile brightens so many people's days and you light up a room when you are in it! We are so blessed to call you our son!!! Happy 7 month birthday David John!

Snow Days Snow Days

This is now our 5th snow day for the school year! DJ has celebrated his 6 month and 7 month birthday with us home from school.  We got 7 inches of snow yesterday and tomorrow we are off due to the cold.  DJ loves trying to eat daddy's hat!!! So we spent our snow day munching on daddy's hat!!

Moving Backwards

Well we have started moving…just not the right way….we go backwards! I'm actually ok with it because I'm not quite ready for an adventurous little boy yet.  We are in the process of putting up the gate at the top of the basement stairs.  Since we have another snow day tomorrow this is one item on the to do list! This means it is definitely time to start baby proofing the house! I think the best part of this video is his laugh!! It always brightens my day!

Curious DJ

It is so much fun watching DJ grow and learn to do new things.  He has been moving around more and more in his walker.  I started putting the gate up at the top of the basement stairs….it hasn't been completed yet because it is a PAIN!!!  It seems we will be needing to safe card our kitchen cabinets and drawers shortly as Mr. DJ is a curious little man!  He is learning how to scoot backwards and hasn't figured out crawling yet….which I am definitely ok with! :)

Super Bowl 2014

Well Super Bowl Sunday didn't turn out quite like we liked it……a good game and good commercials. DJ got to spend some time with our good friends Jen and Mike! Before the game started John took DJ to get him dressed and before I know it he is videoing DJ choosing his clothes! Well DJ is a pretty good pick…may have to take him to Vegas!
