Jensen is 7 months 2 weeks old...I can't believe it! It seems like I was just getting out of the hospital with him, and now here we are over half-way to his first birthday. He has 2 teeth on the bottom, and I think he's working pretty hard at getting the top 2 as well...he sure is one grumpy baby sometimes! He has been crawling since early July, so about 5.5-6 months old. Now he pulls up on any and everything, and he's starting to walk along beside the couch, and he loves to hold someones hands and "walk" around...he really tip-toes :)He is working on his balance...he can stand about 2-3 seconds on his own before he plops down on his behind.
Monday was his first day of daycare. He's doing really great, except he doesn't want to take their bottles. The daycare I put him in will supply his formula and bottles which is great, but I'm going to have to send my own if he won't take theirs. So, we're on day 3, and he's doing better, but still not loving it. But he seems to be great other than that aspect. He really is such a "people person" and he does great playing on his own too. He's not one to really enjoy being tied down though...now that he has figured out his freedom in crawling/exploring, there's no stopping him!
Ryan started 2nd grade last week...I can't believe he is that old already! We moved him to a different school this year since his regular school didn't meet AYP standards (although most in New Hanover Co didn't). So far, it seems to be going great. He's gotten S+'s every day, and if you know us, you know that's a big deal lately! :) The new school requires uniforms; solid navy, blue, red or white polo with khaki or navy flat front pants/shorts. I love it! There is no longer the fight in the morning about what to wear...now its "what color shirt with what color pants" :) Ryan's adjusting to it...he says it makes him feel like he's going to church every day. Maybe I should just spruce up what he has to wear to church every Sunday (like a suit or something) and he'll appreciate those polos a little more! haha.
I'll end with a couple of recent pics from Ryan's 7th birthday. Enjoy!
