First Day with Glasses

Sunday Lunch

After church on the 21st, we stopped by Bono's, a local barbeque restaurant, to pick up some lunch to take home.  We love that place and we had just gotten a gift card.   We got to hang out in the beautiful weather while we waited for our food to be ready.

(You may notice that he's not in the same clothes he was in in the previous post.  Yes, it was the same day, but after church and his nap, he pooped up his back and had to have an outfit change.  haha)  

Church is Exhausting

On November 21, Trish went and picked up N from the nursery for me since I was in children's church. This is how I found them.  Church wears him out. 

November 20

On the 20th, we took a trip to see our friends TW and Jenny, two of our favorite people in the world.  

Frozen Yogurt...YUM!!!

8 Months (Super Late)

Well, N, between being busy and traveling, I am super late getting your 8 month blog together.  Oh well, I think you won't be too upset, right?  :)  

(I'd written most of this before today.  Just needed to add the pics and finish up a few things.)  

You are still my big boy.  You weigh 20 lbs. 3 oz. and I couldn't be happier.  After seeing you struggle to gain weight for a while in the NICU, it makes me happy to see you happy and healthy.  

You are still in size 3 diapers, but it won't be long before we move you to size 4.  You're still wearing your 6-9 months clothes, but there are some 12 month things that will fit you.  

You had your first big eye appointment this month and it went well.  We were so worried about them having to mess with your eyes and dilate them, but you were great.  So proud of you for that.  Makes me proud to be your mommy.  They told us that we need to continue to patch your eyes and also that you need glasses.  Thankfully, you do so well with your patches that I'm not too worried about that. 

Still no teeth that we can see.  You still love to chew on everything, including our fingers.  You bite so hard that it hurts.  

You have figured out how to army crawl, but you still prefer to get around by rolling where you want to go.  Sometimes, you'll roll 6 or 7 times in a row without stopping just to get something that you want to explore.  

You still don't sleep through the night, although things are getting better.  You normally wake up once around 3, each a small bottle, and then fall back asleep until 6 or 7.  I can't wait for the day when you sleep through the night.  

You are still eating on the every 3 hour schedule.  Someday, you'll go longer between feedings, right?  :)  You are showing us that you're liking the baby food more, so I feel that soon, we will start to move into giving you more baby food throughout the day and decreasing on the bottles. 

I love you, N!  You make me smile.  You are such a blessing, not only to us, but to the people that know you.  Thanks for being such a good boy and making mommy so proud.  :)
