He's crawling...He's pulling himself up...He's eating table foods...He's getting two more top teeth (for a total of 6 teeth)!
We are having fun now!
Everett has been doing great lately. He had a check-up last week and the doctor said there are no concerns. Everett has been coughing a lot for the last 4-5 months, but we have asked about it and the doctors do not think there is a problem. They hope it will resolve itself as he grows and develops more (hopefully by 1 year).
Besides eggs and dairy products, we are starting to feed him a bit of table food. It is easier/quicker to feed him pureed foods, so we typically do a combo of the easy/fast foods and some foods he needs to chew a bit more. He's mastered eating cheerios and crackers - which makes dinner time easier for George and I. We distract him with the snacks while we eat dinner.
He has been sleeping good - 6:30 is a typical bed time and he wakes between 5:30 and 7. He still eats once a night, so we're hoping to somehow trick him out of that habit and alter his internal schedule :) Everett takes two good naps a day also, which is nice for me when we are home Friday-Monday! I like my quiet time. I usually sew (but my machine is in the shop right now), cook, or do dishes while he sleeps. Everett is great and playing by himself, usually. He is content to crawl around, pull himself up on bookshelves, the couch, kitchen chairs, etc. He loves trying to play with power cords and try to get into the bathroom when we accidentially leave the door open!
