That is right. Another boy to add to our little clan. We found out Sept 13th and both Haws and I were shocked! We both totally thought it was going to be a girl! But it was clearly evident that this little one is a boy. I guess you never really now until they are born, but we are pretty darn sure. We found out this early with James, so I was expecting to find out when we went. I was just surprised to see boy parts!
We have had a boy name picked out for years (we have a girl one too but then we are out of ideas). This little guy will be Davis Quinlan (my maiden name and Haws' mom's maiden name). We are very excited to have little Davis and I know he and James will be total buddies. Since they will be about 21 months apart, I am sure they will play together and also fight a lot. That will be part of the fun... right?? We know Davis is suppose to be in our family and anticipate his arrival.
This will be Grandson #9 for my parents and Grandson #7 for Haws' parents with only 1 girl representing for each family... so far. We know how to do boys around here I guess.
He has 7 teeth. That means he went from 0 to 7 in just 3 months. He has been busy.
He is walking!!! It started off slow. But now he walks everywhere around the house. His favorite thing to do is carry something with him as he walks and put it somewhere new. Trash cans, balls, shoes...
Knows how to throw a good tantrum. He throws is head back and arches his back as he cries. Luckily they don't last very long. He can turn things on and off really quickly.
Separation anxiety. He now will cry when Haws or I leave. Again... this doesn't last long either.
Points at everything! Points when he wants something, when he sees or hears something. He is starting to communicate more which can be nice, except when he wants something he can't have. He can be a little demanding that way.
Laughs so hard and loud at the funniest things. I wonder if he laughs so hard he pees? Probably.
Loves to be around other kids. Even though he pretty much parallel plays. He does like his personal space though and can get upset if a kid is poking around up in his face too much.
Scared of men with facial hair. This is sad for his Uncle Wade, but we are hoping he will outgrow it soon.
Has discovered how to unroll the toilet paper roll. Bathrooms are pretty much always closed around here now.
Loves to take all the Tupperware out of the drawer. This is a mess, but it is pretty harmless, so if it keeps him entertained while I cook... then go for it James!
Is a really good eater except when he isn't feeling well. But I can relate, so I don't blame him. He lives off cheese and carbs when he is sick, but with still eat his broccoli!
Still barely making 20lbs. He is a lean little guy. I wish I had his abs.
Likes Elmo and Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse and Sports although he doesn't watch TV really. Those are just the ones that will catch his attention for maybe 5 minutes max. I always tried to not expose him to TV (except if I was watching something in the background) but once the morning sickness hit, I really wished he was a child that could be glued to the TV for 30 minutes or so. :)
Loves loves loves his monkey blanket or "lovey". He now will go and pull it out of the crib so he can carry it around the house. I wish that never started. Now monkey is always getting dirty.
HE CLIMBED OUT OF THE PAC N PLAY!!! This was scary. I was in the shower thinking he would sit in the pac n play with his toys like normal, but he was mad when I left. SO I was trying to take a quick one when I heard a thump and then crying that got closer and closer to the bathroom. Then there he was, at the bathroom door. I was so glad he wasn't hurt, but am still baffled as to how he got out.
He can climb up onto the couch. He has lots of upper body strength.
Could go up and down the stairs all day! Another one that is tiring. I can't wait for Haws to be done making the baby gate!!!!
This thing has shown up on his neck that looks like a little red mole. I have seen them on my mom and other adults, but I guess kids get them too. It called a cherry hemangioma and is harmless, but weird looking I just want to pop it! But I guess that could cause severe bleeding, so I won't. My mom says it should change color and fall off. I will have the pediatrician check it out at the next visit.
OK... I think that is it for now.
Love his face here! He is actually enjoying the swing.
His preppy look.
And this is him walking around today after church. Notice all the shoes, he had been carrying those around. Then he moved onto the ball :)
