Truett and his sweet life!

Truett is 29 weeks old today, he will be 7 months next Saturday. He is so big and often gets mistaken for an older baby. Usually someone will say "Is he 8 or 9 months old?" and one lady even thought he might have been 1 year old!! I think to myself is he really that big! I don't think so, I know he is big but not THAT big. He is roughly 19.5 lbs. and still 29.5 inches. He is between the 95th and 100th percentile for his height and between the 75th and 90th percentile for his weight. So, he is a biggen, but not monstrous.


Our lives have been so full. Truett is the highlight of our day and when we collapse at night we are so inspired to do it again the next day. He is in bed and asleep between 8:30-9 pm and wakes between 7:30-8 am. Sometimes I have to wake him up because it has been 12 hours. He also takes a two hour nap in the morning (from 10-12) and then again from 2-4 pm. He also takes a 45-1 hour cat nap after supper (from 6-6:45). He needs his sleep for the adventures of the day. He is on hands and knees and has scooted several times but not fully "crawling" as Wayne says so! He is babbling so much. We work on talking and singing constantly. He says "dadadada" mostly.

He is not really a momma's boy or a daddy's boy. He wants both of us all the time! He lights up when daddy gets home, he starts to squeal and about jumps out of my arms. Wayne can't even put this things down.




Wayne is working from Louisiana now. He works for an independent company here and travels around the state unless we have a hurricane and then we're off! We are actually hoping for one now. He usually gets Friday off because he works so hard during the week (45+ hours just Mon.- Thurs.). Hopefully we can do this a few more years.

I've just about put away all of "Truett's" weight! I go back to my OB/GYN on Tuesday next week and will find out the verdict of how much but all of my prepreg jeans fit. I feel like another 2 pounds will have me back at my "fighting" weight, which was 104. I'm not stuck on numbers but hope to be within a pound or two of that when all is said and done. I have worked my butt off to get back into those "skinny" jeans. I work out usually 5 days a week and have been on a low carb high protein meal plan. I have to say it is hard work but I love seeing results. Once I hit my target I will go back to working out 3-4 days a week and just watching what I eat.
