7 months...

Jett turned 7 months last week and has been so much fun and work lately.

Fun: Work:
-He is crawling - He is crawling :)
-He loves food -He makes a horrible mess while eating
-He is so sweet - He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth (why is this surprising this go-round)
on his mommy,
-He says "da-da"
-He loves the game
"Where's Jett?"
-He loves to watch Truett
& thinks everything he does
is amazing and funny
-He has one tooth on the bottom
and one about to come through
- very happy and this is coming
from a "Babywise momma"

His schedule is this:
9 am wake, eat, play
11 am nap
1pm wake, eat, play
3 pm nap
5 pm wake, eat, play
8 pm night night (with a night-night bottle)

Yes! You read correctly he sleeps 13 hours and takes two (2) hour naps! More on a babywise life later! Don't be mad... it takes a little work, a mom who needs her sleep and rest, and a little structure!

Sometimes life is just sweet

He has made our rainy days less of a drag and our sunny days even better!

June went something like this...

Can you tell this boy loves tractors, backhoes, bulldozers, etc..

I knew this chest of drawers would come in handy

We are beside ourselves. We have been enjoying the mountains of dirt here lately and will update with more pictures soon! Here's our King of the Mountains covered in dirt!

5 months and then... 6

Jett will be 6 months old this next week. He is so precious to me. I am so blessed to have Jett and Truett. My two little buddies. Since I haven't done this before (on the blog) let me update everyone. If you haven't met Jett you have missed out on a treat. He has such a sweet disposition, of course I think it only helps that he is on such a great schedule! Have I mentioned he is on Babywise!! Oh! I can't tell you how much I love it. He started formula exclusively this week :(

Jett- will go for his 6 month check-up this week, but let me add a few things for him at 6 months:

-He loves people
loves to smile
loves to laugh
loves his big brother and bigger kids
loves one on one attention
loves to turn from back to tummy and then from tummy to back
-He doesn't love food as much as Truett did
-He take 5 bottles a day
-He get across the room by turning in circles
-He has gotten on all fours but doesn't do it that often
-He drinks between 7-10 ounces each time
-He wears 9 month old onesies and some 6-9 month old clothes
-He started rolling from tummy to back at 4 months and back to tummy at 4.5 months
-He has been sitting up on his own for up to 5 minutes and still falls occasionally, usually only making it a minute or so
-He would rather watch his big brother when his big brother watches tv (not that I EVER let them watch tv) :)
-He sleeps 12 hours every night.

His day goes like this:
up at 8 or 8:30 - eat breakfast
nap at 10
up at 12pm - eat lunch
down at 2pm
up at 4pm - eat dinner
"cat" nap at 6-6:45
Take "night night" bottle at 8:30

Praise God for Babywise!



This was his "5 month pictures" - 6 month pictures to come next week...

Aww man...

I can't believe I did it again. I have failed at updating you all like I want. I suck at this. I try but this is the last thing I get to. I have stayed so busy cleaning, cooking (more like grilling), playing with my boys and their daddy, exercising, visiting with family and much much more. I hope to update more this week and next. I can't believe next week my littlest boy will be 6 months old. Time has flown by. I have so much to update you on. I will have to pace myself... this could take a while! :)

Jett... 4 MONTHS!

So much to say: Between his 3rd month and 4th month birthday Jett started cereal and then veggies. He loves sweet potatoes, and carrots. We will start him on the greens soon. He still breastfeeds exclusively and has taken formula once or twice to see if he was still hungry. He sleep usually 10 hours at night (sometimes 9.5 sometimes 10.5) He takes (2) 2.5 hr. naps and (1) 45 min. - 1 hour nap. He is so sweet and funny. He laughs a lot! He coos and talks, he has even tried to sing with me several times. He loves watching Truett in motion. He loves to woo his mommy and says watch out daddy, I've got her wrapped around my little fingers!

Don't Pick Your Nose

Poor thing woke up from his nap recently and I found his face covered in blood and his pillow stained. And, yes, I still let him sleep with his paci at nap time.

March

Just 10 days after Jett turned 3 months old he turned over from his tummy to his back. It surprised me and I think I was not ready for this grand occasion. What surprised me the most is that my camera was in my hands (does that ever happen). I didn't think he was old enough. I mean, I know he will eventually but come on can't it be in like a year or two. I have so enjoyed this little boy that this just means the inevitable is coming... he will grow up! :(
