Jonny is 10 months old. So it's been 6 months since I last wrote. He has changed a lot since then, as well. Once we changed his formula and started adding rice cereal to his bottles, he plumped up! He finally started gaining weight, and he is just a big boy. He's not chubby so much, but tall and thick. He is now 30" long and 22+ lbs. Heavy!
He also stopped taking a pacifier about then. At first that bothered me because I couldn't quickly soothe him, but we both learned other ways. I'm glad now that I don't have to worry about weaning him from the paci. He doesn't suck his thumb either, which I thought for sure he would. You just can't predict babies!
He's a kicker. He's been kicking those feet since he knew he could. Makes changing time interesting. He isn't walking yet, but he creeps and cruises. He started crawling at 7 months, standing at 8 months, and now he's working on taking steps. I think he wants to run first,it is exciting to watch. I hope I magically get the energy to keep up with him.
He has been healthy overall. He had the one hospital stay that was in a previous post, and he (we) got a cold after that. I am happy to say he's been good otherwise.
We started babyfood at 6 months. He is a good eater, there isn't anything he spits out. haha He loves his veggies and his fruit and meats. We are working on textured foods at the moment, but he still gags and throws up when we try. He does well with the puffs though. I am not sure how or when to get him started on milk vs formula. Especially since he is on nutramigen. I hope his milk allergy is gone. I have found out he has reactions to sweet potatoes, mango, and squash. So, we try to avoid those. I feel bad that he is still on stage 2 babyfood, but it's not like he will never learn how to eat real food, right?
Unfortunately, he and I don't get out much. It has been a very hot summer and I just don't do well with heat...and I see that he doesn't either. Poor guy got my temperature sensitivity. :( I hope I'm not turning him into a hermit!
We had the girls about half the summer. That was interesting, and I think it worked pretty well actually. It was admittedly tough going from one baby to 4 kids. They are good girls, though. Could have been waaaaay worse. I am thankful to Jonathon's ex for producing some good kids. :)
Speaking of Jonathon, we are getting married this month. Going to get the license this week, then my mom is going to perform the ceremony. It's not going to be anything big. I was just going to go to the jop, but my mom wants us to make it more special than that. I feel like I'm already married, so it's all the same to me. We don't have money for a wedding, maybe someday.
My dad has been on my mind a lot lately. In april he was accused of misappropriating $2.5 million of his clients money. It's a mess. He was forced to stop practicing law, his homes are being foreclosed upon, his accounts are frozen. He is to plead next week and sentencing will be probably around the end of the year. He claims his innocence overall. I just have a hard time believing he could do that, but I know money corrupts. There are a LOT of famous and good people that did bad things. I love him, he is my dad. I will testify for his character, but I'm not sure it will help. I feel awful for his clients. I am glad my parents taught me good ethics and morals. I probably won't speak of this again until I know more.
I love Jonny Fox so much. Depsite our money being extremely tight, and all the other stresses of life...I wouldn't have it any other way. I need to listen to what God's plan is for me, then I will have a start.
