new stuff...

wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since we've updated... time flying and all.

what's new: we started using the Ferber method Saturday night and have pretty much been sleeping through the night. we're still fine tuning the schedule but it's kinda like this: wake up at 5ish dipe/nurse/play and stay up for an hour or so, take a 2 hour nap, be up by 8ish. maybe take a couple of small naps throughout the day running errands but not a huge thing if not b/c by 430, ready for a real nap- sleeps until 645-7, wakes up for dinner/bath/etc. and bedtime routine by 815ish, asleep by 830.

he wakes up still but can put himself back down now, we're not running in there and picking him up and nursing 5 times a night... nice. =)

food: per the doc, we've been introducing veggies... he loves sweet potatoes and peas, is doing ok on green beans, not so good on carrots... tried some pears and avocado and he loves them! still only feeding them mixed in with rice cereal at night but starting those little graduates puffs and cheerios soon for him to feed himself. the puffs melt which is cool and he likes them.

loves his jumper, we're getting rid of swing- he's figured it out and is bored with it... clothes, he's wearing 6-9 months for the most part, he's got long arms and legs now! they're not all folded up like- he opens his hands more and his legs are really straightening out.

teething: yup, still/again i think- he's loving anything wooden lately in his mouth and he's my little drool monster. loves teething rings and this little giraffe auntie cimbria gave him. and no, he hasn't bitten me yet.

we're trying to get the clutter under control and get rid of stuff around the house, kinda a reverse nesting i guess... starting to babyproof a bit- got the tv on the wall and a baby gate in the kitchen, the coat closet actually closes now... we're getting there.

wyatt goes back for the second half of his flu shot and a weigh in on the 10th, he'll be 7 months old. we're going to visit the omaha crew the next week and we're looking forward to seeing everyone and having the holidays with some weather.
