11 months old on 7/13/15!

7/8/15 – First tooth!

7/9/15 – Started crawling!

It was a very productive week leading up to the 11 month mark.  He started with a crab crawl of sorts.  And the tooth… well, good luck trying to get a picture of it.  Any time I ask him to show me his teeth I swear he seals his lips shut.  Continues sleeping well, LOVES food and when he reached 11 months we slowly started introducing a little bit (few ounces) of cow’s milk each day.  He is a fan of that too.

Climbing on and into everything!

We will miss those little wrist folds when they are gone.

10 months old on 6/13/15!

Since Dermot will be 11 months old in a few days we figured it was time for a quick 10 month update!  His personality is emerging and changing as he becomes more independent.  He still has no teeth, but boy does he munch on anything you will give him.  Cheerios are a new favorite.  He is rolling and scooting all over the place.  He is weighing in at 22 lbs 2.2 oz.  I think the pictures below explain our (not so) little guy.

9 months on 5/13/15!

Dermot is rolling all around!  He can get from one side of the room to the other pretty quickly.  We are waiting to turn around one day and have him crawling all over the place (not yet though, because Mom & Dad still have to finish ‘baby-proofing’).  He still loves ALL food and is eating more pieces/chunks and practicing chewing.  He continues to sleep around 11 hours per night.  He loves peek-a-boo, making raspberries and is continuing to discover his tongue more/stick it out.  One of his favorite things is listening to music and dancing.  At his 9 month check-up he tipped the scales at 21 lbs. 13.2 oz.  We are very proud of him!

All smiles for our photo shoot!

8 Months Old on 4/13/15!

Dermot LOVES his food… he recently tried yogurt, peaches, blueberries, roasted peppers, plums and pumpkins  He enjoys going for runs and listening to music.  He is weighing in at around 21 lbs.  He is moving more and more (his legs are always kicking!) and he likes to be on the go.

Always happy when I can grab my toes.

Dermot’s 1st trip to the Aquarium!

Addie spent the weekend with us and we took Dermot’s first trip to the Aquarium.  Dermot slept for the majority of the trip and woke up just in time to eat a bottle in the lobby before we left and headed to lunch.

6 months old… on 2/13/15! Where did the time go?

Dermot weighed 17lbs at his 6 month check up.  We started solid foods a week before he turned 6 months.  He loves food and has a hearty appetite.  He enjoys listening to music, playing in his office (exersaucer) and just hanging out.  Gone are the days of the little baby that needed to be carried around or moving all of the time, he is happy to just chill out.

Let’s try solid food!

There’s been quite a bit of debate about who Dermot more closely resembles — Mom or Dad — but there’s no debating that he shares Mom’s taste in food. Dermot tried solid food for the first time today, a teaspoon of a mashed sweet potato, and he loved it!

See below for the photographic and video evidence!

Today's special: mashed sweet potatoes infused with just a hint of milk.
