Well, in the month of June, we had sooo many milestones! I hope that I can get them all. Clint turned 8 months in June. Since he had RSV in April and a cold in May, we weren't able to do his 6 month well-baby check/shots until this month. (So not only am I behind on blogging, everything is behind in our world right now.) Anyway, we finally got him in for his check-up and the Dr. couldn't be more pleased. He said our little man is doing fabulous, and even said to me that "I don't know what a lucky mom I am" AAAHHHH!!! Thanks Dr. Wallace! He said Clint is such a good boy, and just doing everything "by the book". So he weighed in at 17.6 lbs. He is only in the 25th percentile on the growth chart for his weight. His height was 27.4 inches and that put him in the 50th percentile. So we have a lengthy, skinny boy!! HHMM..... wonder where he gets that from???
Along with growing like a weed, our boy is learning so much. This past month you could find him doing all sorts of new things. He learned how to get from butt to stomach without falling on his face and then back to his butt again! He started the month off by scooting around on his belly and ended it full on crawling!! And let me tell, this boy can move!! Especially when he is after something he's not supposed to have. Fair warning, I can't be responsible if he drools your phone to the point of not working!! He can also pull himself up to anything that won't slip out from underneath him...
good thing the vacuum cleaner has a neutral button and doesn't move to well in this position!! He will also let go now and has stood in the middle of floor completely on his own for over 10 seconds at a time! Afraid he's gonna be an early walker!!
Clint loves to eat. I always know when he is ready cause he will start humming, and saying mom...mmmmmm.....mmmmmmm.....mom!! And after every bite he gets he always says mmmmmm!!! His dad gave him and entire dinner roll, and he loved it!! Too bad he stuffed the whole thing in his mouth and started choking....we had to take it from him! Sorry bud....
He is eating pretty much all table food. Crackers and finger foods. He loves his Gerber puffs. So do I, their not messy!! Clint also got his first tooth this month. Finally!! We've been waiting along time for that milestone. It's on the bottom. The left front tooth. And it's sharp!!
Clint already has quite a vocabulary. His list includes: mom, dad, hi, lala(Lexi), Nan (Brianna), baba...he also loves animals, and though he can't say what they are, he knows how to get their attention. He yells "hey" at them til they look at him!! He also loves to clear his throat. Don't know if he thinks he's talking or what, but he does it all the time!!! At first cute, now it is just annoying!! But he loves it, so we love it too!!
Clint had his first swim just this last weekend. He wasn't crazy about it, but loved the dive sticks. I think I need to invest in a few...they made great teething sticks for him!! He was so cute in his little trunks!! Hangin with his daddy!!
