Lewis is growing up to be quite the mover and shaker. He never sits still, not even for a minute. Since he learned to move around he's fallen off the bed and he's hit his head while Dan was changing him. He fell off the bed on Sunday and cried until Dan picked him up and we loved on him. The changing table incident happened today. Dan had Lewis on the changing table because he pooped and Lewis was being his wiggle worm self and wouldn't stay still. Dan had Lewis' feet up in the air with one hand and was trying to clean him up and put on a new diaper with the other. Dan had him almost upside down to keep him relatively still but of course Lewis loves to be upside down so he was laughing the whole time. Dan put him down a little and Lewis scootched off the table, rolled over and hit his head on the corner of the bookshelf next to the changing table. All while Dan was still holding his feet trying to finish changing him. Lewis screamed but was fine once Dan got him and consoled him. Dan said it almost broke the skin and that it swelled up and was red. By the time I got home from school it just looked like a scratch. I took a picture of his "wound" since it was his first one.
When I got home Dan and I talked about how the was going to be the first of many incidents and that we were in for it. He literally doesn't stop moving unless he's asleep. He tries to crawl out of his tub, he pulls himself up on the couch, on his swing, and on his crib, he bangs on toys and throws them across the room, he's just never still. We decided they might as well go ahead and start our file at Williamson Medical because we'll be frequent visitors.
On a different note, here is one of the first times Lewis pulled himself up into the standing position. It was sometime last week when Dan went in his room to get him from his nap. Lewis was just chillin there waiting for his dad. It's fuzzy because it was taken on Dan's cell phone.
The picture below is pretty cute, it's the cousins playing in the bathtub together. We were at the lake this weekend and they needed to clean before bedtime.
Lewis' bath didn't last long because he kept trying to stand up in the tub and I wouldn't let him. He didn't care much for me at that point.
Lewis is seven and a half months old and I can hardly believe it. He eats anything you put in front of him and loves fruits the most. We haven't tried meats again but we'll try again soon. He's still toothless so he might be able to walk before he can chew food!! He's starting to move his feet when he's standing and holding on to the couch which is scary because walking could be just around the corner.
Oh . . . I can't believe I almost forgot . . . Lewis crawled this weekend!! Dan and I of course weren't around to see it, but it was caught on camera. It was right after we got the the lake house. Dan and I left Lewis and the Vossler's condo while we went to ours and got unpacked. While we were gone friends of Ed and Lorraine put a video camera on the ground to film the kids (Lewis and Shelby) and Lewis crawled right to it. It's all on camera. Not the best angle because you just see his face getting closer to the video camera but still, it happened. So, I'm pretty perturbed I didn't witness the first crawl but there's nothing I can do about it. He crawled really well again today and we ran and got the Flip to record it but he didn't crawl well after we started filming. We'll try to film it again tomorrow.
