Happy Daddy/Pop/Papa Day!

Big Person Food

Seeing that Solon turned the big 7 months old and is cutting some teeth, we steamed up some of my carrots and let him try them out. He definitely didn't like them. All he wanted were his peas. So we will keep trying.

7 Months Old

Solon is 7 months old today! And weighing in the neighborhood of 21 lbs 6 oz. He is getting so big. I am thinking by next month-birthday he will be crawling.

Also! Today is Sally's big 3-0 BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday Silly! I know you are having fun on your St. Mary/Cumberland Island/Savannah trip!

Nobody Puts Baby Under A Blanket.

Unless you don't want her paint job to fade. My new blanket arrived yesterday with a lock, so it won't be disappearing in the middle of the night again.

Prelude to a Nuclear Meltdown

He looks all sweet right now, but last night Jay and I suffered the worst night since Solon was born. Solon has begun teething, and last night he was very upset about it. He screamed from 7-10 pm. LOUD. Then we finally got him in the swing and asleep for a little bit. Then 12:15 he was back awake and crying. Jay and I put on slippers and loaded stinky man into the stroller and took a walk around the block to help break the crying cycle. It was off and on all through the night and ended with Solon asleep on the couch in the den with his head on a big white pillow, I was asleep beside him on the rug and Jay got about 1 and a half hours of sleep in the bed. Exhausted. So tonight we are armed with some ora-gel and baby motrin....just in case.

(Also, the dogs had an altercation with the possum that lives next door. Jay was outside with the flashlight around 1pm trying to scare the thing off and get the dogs back up on the deck. Good times.)

Second Life

Looks like Solon's bouncy seat has found someone else to love it. We have found Megan curled up in it multiple times this week.

Layover

Ann had a few hours before her flight to DC, so we all hung out. She and Solon banged on a box together and had a fun time.
