8 1/2 months






 


I can not even begin to describe how much I love this kid! He is getting so funny and so fun to play with! The past 2 months, life with him has changed dramatically. Here are his updates - 
  • He is sleeping through the night! This is such a huge one! We rarely hear him at night these days and when we do, he is able to put himself back to sleep quickly. Which means, for the first time in like a year, I've had a full nights sleep! PTL. 
  • He is eating "solid" food 3 times a day now - his favorite is anything with fruit!
  • He can roll around front to back over and over, and also scoot around in a circle on his belly. When sitting up, he leans over one leg pretty far to reach something. So far, no crawling, but I am not rushing that! He'll get it soon enough- and when he does - our whole life will change! 
  • He has 4 teeth, the two bottom and the two on either side of the front on top. I think those top will be making an appearance soon though!
  • He's gotten really into grabbing necklaces lately - and has even broken one! 
  • He talks all.the.time. 
  • He sleeps with his pacifier and his bear blanket, and sleeps best on his stomach. 
  • He is super social and will smile and laugh for just about anyone!
  • He is in daycare 3 days a week and is starting to really love it.
And just for my own records, this is what his daily schedule is like:

7:30 - wake up, bottle
8:30 - solids
9:30-10:30/11:00 - nap, bottle when he wakes up
12:00 - solids
1:00-2:30/3:00 - nap, bottle when he wakes up
6:00 - dinner
6:30 - bath
7:00 - bottle and down for bed

Looking forward to what months 9-12 will bring. Even more changes, I'm sure!

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

what's going on

We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine.      Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth!   Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly.  Other things going on: Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready.  ...
