pincher fingers...

well its been a while. the holidays went great! i loved being home with my family who i love and miss so much. just to catch up on a few things. I am still breastfeeding (only usually once a day) but my little one is finally getting his bottom two teeth and I really feel that we will be weaning in the very near future (he already thinks they are a chew toy without teeth, i dont think i want to risk the possibility!) He is also sleeping through the night now!!! YAY! im now putting him in his crib for his daytime naps and he sleeps from about 8pm to 6 or 7am! it is a beautiful thing i tell you.
he is starting to get up like hes ready to crawl but is still a no go. he has ended up across the room by scooting backwards but i dont think he means to do it. i am fine with that my older son only crawled for about a month and a half and then by 9 months he was walking like a pro, this time around i know i can wait! immobility will be fleeting and once it is over, well, it is OVER! :) and oh already little hands must touch EVERYTHING! its driving me crazy! i love seeing him explore his environment but i miss the peaceful moments of holding and cuddling with him. it is now impossible, if he spots something, ANYTHING he zooms in on it. i need to know why is it that babies are in love with remote controls? i just dont get it, he will about break his neck to grab it off the table. (and break my back in the process, he is no skinny baby!) and he has now gotten down what my husband and i call the pincher fingers (the fine motor skill of grabbing small objects between the thumb and forefinger). he is seven months old today and i cant believe it has been that long already. although i cant believe my oldest is 7 years old!!
speaking of my seven year old he is doing great, it seems like just yesterday he was a baby too (oh the cliches). things are finally settling out into a routine for my family and i, and i am so grateful for that. my mind is still hanging out somewehere else but it does return more frequently now that i am getting more rest. I also found out i have hypothyroidism caused by my pregnancy which i feel may be contributing to my spaciness.
well the little man of the house has decided its time to start our day. until we meet again....
