7 month facts:
Weight- 14.4 lbs. Doesn't sound huge but you've seen my rolls and double+ chin- I am not lacking in the body fat category.
Height- 24.25". height has been my second biggest challenge after feeding so we are counting to the quarter inch.
What I eat- Neocate only. The great food experiment came to an abrupt end again when I started vomiting terribly. This is really a bummer because I loved solid food. I've read reviews on the web that claim neocate nutra tastes terrible but I thought it was quite delicious. Mom and dad tried to keep going despite my worsening stomach issues to see if I could adapt but dehydration became a concern so I am back to just neocate. After a week back on my liquid only diet, things are much better although the couch and everyone that holds me lately might say otherwise.
Favorite activities- I continue to have no interest in moving around. I tried it a few months ago and love playing on the floor for hours but I'm not a fan of moving. I have embraced the American way and prefer to be driven around in my stroller or just sit on the floor and play with my toys. I do have mad skills in the bungee jumper. A trampoline could really help motivate me to work on my motor skills...and the holidays are right around the corner...just in case mom and dad are reading and need gift ideas. I am the happiest, most content baby ever- until about midnight.
Teeth- none. And thankfully, not anytime soon. Sounds painful and I have enough trouble with stomach pain at night as it is. I don't think mom could handle waking up more than the usual every 2 hours with my fussy self.
Upcoming travel plans- We leave for a homeschool trip to Washington DC this Thursday for a long weekend. I can't wait. I hear the east coast in the fall is beautiful. Then next month is another RV trip. This time we are going all the way to Indiana with a couple stops to see cousins along the way.
Other family members- I am occasionally reminded that I am not the only kid in the family so I will throw them a bone and dedicate one whole paragraph to them. Michael made varsity cross country and is ditching us in Washington DC to run in regionals. He is applying to colleges right now so I will let everyone know when he makes a decision. Hayley dances 6 days a week and would go 7 if someone would open the door for her. Her and Michael went to the homecoming dance last night.
With some superhero friends
Drew is getting ready for ski season. He plans on racing for Telluride again. Brandon is following in Grandpa Steve's footsteps and playing tennis quite a bit. They both still homeschool with me. They don't like pictures but every now and then mom can sneak one
Racing at the tower of Hanoi game
That's all I have for this week. Here are a couple pics
