As we come up to MJs 7th month birthday … and my *unmentionable* birthday … I’m happy to report that I think we may have one of the “happiest babies on the block”. He is one very happy dude!
This week has been fun! Especially this weekend when little MJ got to spend some quality time with Daddy! On Saturday evening I entered back into the world of Roller Derby by den momming (running the bench) for the Betties (my old team) leaving the boys home to play and romp. And they had fun (as did Mommy). It was nice to catch up with old friends and made me realize that I really do miss being part of such and amazing organization.
Over the weekend little MJ started raising up on his knees! He’s such a strong little dude … he does a full body plank (with an “ooooooooooooo”) and then pulls his knees up under himself. Granted when he wants to move he is back on belly and “army crawling” again … but it won’t belong before our little man is C R A W L I N G!!! I admit … I’m totally NOT ready … MORE BABYPROOFING!!!
Anywho … Marshall also got to spend Monday afternoon with Daddy as well … those boys … they sure do have fun!! He loves his Daddy more than anyone and they laugh … and sing … and dance … I mean I knew his Daddy was goofy … but Marshall brings it to a new level!
He’s also very much enjoying his bath time – and by extension swim classes! He L O V E S the water! Splashes and kicks the whole time. He’s the oldest baby in our class (only by a month) and this week he did another “swim” (dive) and then backfloating (though very squirly). He even did hand stands with Miss Debbie (standing on her hands). She even said that no 7 month old in her memory has ever done that! He’s such an overachiever!
This week we introduced winter squash to his diet … admittedly he likes fruits more than veggies so I cheated and mixed some apples and pears in with the squash and it went down much easier. He didn’t make crazy grimace faces or gag. It’s progress I think!
Looking forward to what happens next with this crazy little dude!
