Baron - Months 7 - 9

During months 7-9, Baron started crawling, pulling up, cruising and even most recently standing on his own! I can't believe he is growing so fast! I think he'll be walking well before he turns 1.

Dressed up for St. Patrick's Day! And, Spring had finally sprung!

Happy Easter! Christ is Risen!

Baron's first Baron's game!

Many people start their babies on cereal at 4 months or so, but I wait until 6 months and start with regular food. I also make the baby food because it's so easy! Baron's first food was avocado. He didn't love it, but he didn't hate it either. He did get a stomach bug and ended up throwing it up a few days later. After that, I didn't give him avocado for a while, but now he loves it! His favorites are bananas and sweet potatoes. He's had all sorts of fruits and veggies and we're starting on meats, beans and grains now. I have so many pictures of Taylor eating food, with it all over her face, but so few of him. I guess that's what happens with subsequent children!

In April, we finally got down to visit Nannie and Papa and went out on the boat. Baron fell asleep pretty quickly and Taylor had fun being the captain!

I love this picture! It's the wallpaper on my phone!

He slept swaddled on his back until he flipped over in his swaddle. I couldn't stop him from sleeping on his belly after that. 

Just before turning 9 months old, Baron got tubes. They were much needed, but I was so apprehensive. He ended up getting them at Children's Hospital, which is where Leah died. I knew I was going to be nervous about the procedure, but I was not prepared for the emotions of just being back in that hospital. From the time we parked and walked in, I was in tears. He did fabulous and he has finally started sleeping through the night! I don't even want to type that for fear of jinxing it!

Cute baby didn't know what was about to happen!

Below are the month by month pictures. He's not growing as much now, he's really slimmed up a lot! 

7 months old! His face is sunburned in this picture because Adam forgot to put sunscreen on him when they went to watch the Blue Angels in Tuscaloosa.

Sister always loves to get in on the pictures!

Other fun things we did during things months:

Adam and I participated in the Insane Inflatable 5K. It was really fun! But HARD!

We registered Taylor for Kindergarten. She's going to be a McAdory Yellow Jacket! 

And, Taylor graduated preschool. Such a hard time for Mommy!!

We also went to the beach, which you can read about here.
