With the breaking news that MillerCoors eliminated Razorfish from it's agency roster last week, my days have dramatically changed since returning home from Florida. So, now that I have some free time back in my day, I decided to catch up on the past few months.
First, our baby boy is 7 months and 1 week old! I can't believe how fast the time is going - I know everyone says that, but it's so true.
Jake is eating 3 meals a day, sleeping thru the night and full of surprises each day. His favorite foods are fruits and vegetables, but we are experimenting with meats now too. He is sitting up on his own, babbling 'da da da' , laughing, playing peek-a-boo, has 8 teeth (yes, you heard right), is all smiles and exploring his world around him. He found Lyla just last week and is obsessed with her. Lyla isn't sure what to think of him, but she sits still for a bit while he grabs, pokes and prods her. I am working on getting a video of these two in action - it's hilarious and super cute.
On a personal note, I made it to 7 months of breastfeeding (my goal was always 6 months if I could), so feeling pretty good about that. And, now that he is taking formula, Jake's dairy and soy intolerance has since passed, I can enjoy soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, edamame, dark chocolate and all my favorite foods again. After a year and a half of dietary restrictions with pregnancy and nursing, I must say, that it is refreshing. I am feeling like me again.
Our boy is tipping the scales at 19 lbs 8 oz, 27.5 inches long and is busting out of 9 month clothes. We are moving onto 12+ month. Healthy boy. His 7 month photoshoot is tomorrow (the wardrobe doesn't fit, and this mom needs to run to do some shopping before we can have him strike a pose)
Here are his 5 & 6 month photoshoot pics as well as some from mama & Jake Florida trip to see Gread Grandpa Colnon and Nana & Pop Peressini. It was so nice to get to spend a week with my baby. We even bunked up and shared a room for the week, but we missed daddy for sure.
