7 months old…and some
posted in Whatever |I have been home with my son for over 7 months now and loving every minute of it. Luke is a very busy man and takes his last final exam for his architecture license on the 21st of July in San Francisco. Corbin continues to grow by leaps and bounds. He had his 6 month appointment on June 6th and weighed in at 21 pounds 10 ounces and 29 1/2 inches long. A month and a half later and I swear he’s gained another five pounds as well as 2 inches to his length. I’m most likely over exaggerating, but there is no doubt that he’s a healthy and heavy baby boy. Luke and I love our son so much and enjoy introducing Corbin to the world around us. He loves being outdoors, so we take him for walks around the lake near our home, the Zoo, Sea World and our most recent trip to the San Diego Fair. I think next year he’ll enjoy it so much more. Corbin is also at the stage where he loves grabbing onto things (hair, toys, magazines, etc) and still smiles at everyone. He is quite the social guy. He’s also teething and has his two bottom teeth now. He’s been handling the discomfort like a champ. Those Hyland teething tablets are awesome! Corbin has also been discovering the joys of eating solid foods. He loves carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans and applesauce. Pears and peas…not so much. He’s also mastering the ability to sit up without support even though he falls sometimes and forgets to brace himself. It usually ends in crying…lots of crying…with real tears. It breaks my heart every time. Rolling, crawling and walking are soon to come. I don’t know if I’m ready for that. As for me, I’ve been very domestic lately. I started a small garden on our very small balcony, I started making my own baby food for Corbin, I also sew nursing covers for friends when I have time and make cards. I’m enjoying myself. Oh, and I’m also part of the women leaders at my church and I help coordinate the women’s breakfasts as well as the annual women’s retreat. It’s a busy season for our family, but we are also taking the time to cherish and enjoy it.
