Kason Havoc {7 months}

Oh Kason Havoc... you are seriously the light of our entire house. But this last month, you have decided to go from the sweetest baby to our little stress basket! However, we still love you... even more than we did last month! :-) ...still not sure how that is even possible! It does help that you are THE cutest little thing we have ever experienced!

• He is a good baby... {if you remember correctly, this used to say GREAT baby... but someone has taken my GREAT baby and has replaced him with a good baby. he is good, but he eats non-stop and doesn't sleep. good thing he is still cute or he might just be BAD!} He is a routine baby. Break that routine and you are in BIG trouble.
• He wakes up around 7AM. He takes a mid-morning nap around 9. He sleeps about one hour and is back up to eat lunch and is back down for an afternoon nap at 12. He will sleep about 1-2 hours. He will occasionally take a 30-45 minute nap around 6. He goes to bed around 7PM. He is very inconsistent as to when he wakes up during the night, he is gets up for atleast 1-2 bottles. (He will eventually sleep through the night, right?! :-/)
• The above schedule is the 'norm'. But I am hoping these last 3 weeks are NOT the new norm. He is waking up 4-6 times a night to eat. I thought the first week or two was just a growth spurt, but he is still doing it and is not napping on routine. He. Is. Killing. Us. Slowly! :-)
• He has 4 ounces of breast milk with each feeding. I am still pumping and feeding full time.
• He is eating baby food at lunch and dinner!
• He is drinking water with each meal. He can drink out of a sippy cup and a straw.
• He is not the greatest napper. On most days, he will take a small morning nap and longer afternoon nap. Some days, they might be 10-15 minutes. For some reason, my kids just don't care for naps!

• He has TWO teeth!
• He is wearing Size 2 diapers.
• He is wearing 6 month and 6-9 month clothes.
• He LOVES bath time. He loves to chew on a wet towel. ha!
• He HATES the car.... and saying HATE might be a total understatement. At this time, we are avoiding any travel... even across town to the grocery store. He will seriously make you want to jump out of the car while it is moving! This is totally new to us as Hadlea always loved it!

• He grabs everything in site! ...his favorite being hair!
• He is a MOMMA's boy! If you want anything to do with him, don't keep him in the same room with his momma! (...and you will never hear complaints from me on this one!)
• He follows Justin, Hadlea and I's voices. If he hasn't seen one of us in a while and we walk into the room and talk, he gets SO excited!
• He LOVES his sister!
• He LOVES Berkley. I think Berk gets most of the smiles and laughs these days.

 

• He has found his voice... and likes to use it! Our house is LOUD in the evenings!
• He LOVES music. Singing to him or turning on music will calm him.
• He is a full time sitter upper! :) ...don't even think about laying him down!
• He is starting to 'try' and crawl... or maybe scoot. I don't even think you can call it crawling!
• He will try to pull up on things and get his feet underneath him.
• He smiles and kicks his feet like crazy! He is one squirmy dude! He loves to suck his toes.

• He is doing the full belly laugh. It is the cutest thing ever.
• He still doesn't take a paci. But you can bet I am still ordering different kinds in hopes he will change his mind! :)
• He sleeps swaddled in his crib in his own room.
• He LOVES to be outside. His favorite part of the day!
• He is still at home with our nanny, Meredith, everyday!
