27 Weeks

So last week's first dinner out with Grandma and Grampy went well, overall.  Will sometimes likes to yell or squeal...in a happy way.  And while we think it is cute and funny, other people may not. So after some time, he ended up on our laps to quite him down.  It was a quick dinner; just the right amount of time before Will was hungry again and it was near his bed time.  So on Friday, instead of going out to dinner with our friends, we had them over to the safe haven of our house, so Will could just be put to bed when he was tired, instead of ending the party early.  I guess that is what we'll be doing for the foreseeable future, until we get a babysitter!

Babies are so cute in hats!!

We have had a total game changer with nap time.  Belly sleeping.  I was just putting him on his belly, still reluctantly after his first wake up at night.  But now I have found that I can get an hour or more nap if he's on his belly.  Which was just unheard of before last week.  I was doing chores around the house thinking, so this is how to get things done...not having a baby on your hip, or toting his highchair around the house so he can watch me do dishes, vacuum, etc.  So belly naps, it is!

The sixth month well visit went pretty much as expected. Shots - ugh and height/weight checks. As predicted, he's still off the chart in weight at 24.3lbs and in the 95th percentile for height at 28 inches. This time, I gave him Advil before the shots, which seemed to help. The silver lining of these visits are long naps! So does it seem like I love nap time? Because I do. And the rare chance that I get to turn on the TV, there are so many new shows on! I mean, Ryan Lochte has a show now? There is a new season of RHOC?

Will tried some avocado this weekend.  At first, he didn't seem like he was a fan.  But on Sunday, he was much better and seemed to want to keep eating.  I guess after six months of milk, it can be very confusing!  And so far, making our own baby food is super easy.  All I do is add water and blend.  I can handle that.

I took a couple weeks off from running because my knees hurt.  I blame baby.  But yesterday I hit the pavement again for 2.5 miles.  The countdown is on for the Mother's Day 5k.  With some peer pressure during the race, I think I can push through for 3.1 miles!  I would prefer to run sans stroller, but isn't that the point of the Mother's Day race?  We'll have to see.
