Chris Roy Run Down

Just wanted to give an update on baby Chris. Man, he has started doing so much in the last 3 weeks! Oh, and let me tell ya this kid can eat! He has a 6 oz bottle around 7:30am, cereal and fruit about 9:00, another 6 oz bottle about 10:30, 1 jar of vegetables at lunch, another 6 oz bottle about 2:30, 1/2 a jar of veggies and cereal at dinner along with a 6 oz bottle, and for a night cap he has yet another 6 oz bottle about 8:00pm. No wonder his car seat carrier is getting so darn heavy!! He is officially enrolled in the Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) program. The Occupational Therapist said that we wasn't far behind but she would like to see him use his muscles a little bit more. She is going to start seeing him every other week starting today. Of course Chris is now standing on his legs (rather well in fact) as well as trying to sit up on his own. I'm afraid I am wasting ECI's time?? We had his 7 mo. pics done on Thursday and the photographer asked if her could sit up for a few shots. I told her no that he could only sit if I help him. Well he made me the biggest liar out of me!! We got him on the floor and after finding his center of balance, that crazy kid sat ALONE for a good 2 minutes!! He is rolling all over the house and even pushing himself up on his arms and getting his knees under him like he is about to take off crawling! I have to really watch out because if something is hanging down off of the coffee table or end table like keys or a table cloth, he can reach up and grab it! He is getting into Ally's crayons as we speak... Get ready... the fun (and baby proofing) is about to begin!!
