Ten Whole Months!
Dear Skelly,
You are ten months today! Happy Fourth of July! This has been a month full of milestones and growth. You are 23 lbs. and 3 oz. 29 1/2 inches long. You are such a big boy! The other day in the mall I overheard a woman telling her friend, "what a huge baby!" I am amazed at your growth and your strength. This month we had to visit Children's Hospital to see the pumonologist. It was so so scary. You had a chest x-ray and a sweat test. In the end we discovered you have asthma.
This month you have learned to crawl forward and are now getting into EVERYTHING! Your favorite is Muse's water bowl and as soon as you see an opening you are splashing and having the very best time playing in it. You love to swim and have been in the pool a few times. You are pulling up on all of the furniture and free-falling backwards. You know that I worry a bit and always give me a huge grin right before you let go. Bath time with Daddy is also crazy time for you and you try and grab the faucet and pull up on the sides of the tub as he tries to wash you.
We are slowly getting into a sleep routine and you have slept through the night for a few weeks now fairly consistently. We're getting there, you and I and I am loving this time with you. When they told me that the Peace Corps would be the toughest job I'd ever love they were wrong...this is. I have developed a huge respect for stay at home moms! I try and keep you busy each day. Yesterday we had our first trip to the zoo and you will start gym classes on Monday. Wednesday is music and you loved banging on the different drums and clapping your hands while we sang.
It will be a crazy and amazing summer and I am so very blessed to have you in my life, my little wild one.
Love,
Momma

Nine Months!
You are Nine Months old today. Although I have been awful about writing on here, know that I savor all of your milestones. Right this moment you are on your knees rocking back and forth to get at your toys, particuarly your keys and bobble head chicken. You are this.close to crawling and are able to scoot backwards well but your forward is still a work in progress. I think you have done it at daycare but they are staying quiet on the subject. You say mama and dada constantly along with wild yells. You love to talk and are most talkative in the mornings.
You still have your terrible cough and have been using a nebulizer like a trooper, but will have to see another doctor about it. It breaks our heart to hear your little cough and worry that you are allergic to Muse. That is a fear of ours right now and we will do everything that we can to keep our little family together and get you healthy at the same time.
It warms my heart how much your family loves you. We visited Massachusetts on Memorial Day and Auntie Christina was so thrilled to see you as was Uncle O and Titi Camille. Who would have thought that these three people who were scared to hold you as a tiny baby would be fighting to hold you constantly and loving you to pieces!
Our new favorite game to play is patty cake and you clap along happily. Your clapping is hilarious and makes my day. Your Auntie Christina sent you a Jeep Walker which you love to ride around in and knock down everything you can get your hands on. I am constantly amazed at how very blessed we are to have you in our lives. You make me complete my beautiful boy.
Love,
Momma
