Rex has a tooth!

So on this last Sunday during church I was trying to get Rex to sleep before Young Women started and I noticed that he had his first tooth...and not just poking through, completely cut through and somehow I missed it coming through! He hasn't been acting fussy or sleeping less or anything out of the ordinary. So I can only think that he is just a really good baby! And really he is. He is a great sleeper for both naptime and bedtime. All I have to do is wrap him up, and cuddle with him for a bit and then even when he's awake, I'll lay him down and he'll put himself to sleep. Now he does get a bit fussy during the cuddle/rocking time, but I'll take that if he still puts himself to sleep. He rarely wakes up in the night now, so he sleeps a good solid 8-9 hours a night. He's almost always happy, although he is just starting to get a little separation anxiety from me, but I think some of that might have to stem from him possibly cutting his second tooth? I don't know.

He is going to be 7 months in less than a week and I can't believe he is already this big and old. He is eating almost all vegetables now in solids and is doing farely well with them. I have a feeling though that he will really like his fruits when we start those. I started giving him a little bit of water the other day in his sippie and he thought that was pretty fun! He's rolling all over the place and sitting up very well. While on his tummy he'll lift himself up on his arms and then move around in a circle on his belly while trying to reach for toys, sometimes even scooting himself backwards. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time that he'll be crawling! Where has my little baby gone?!?! One of his favorite things to do now is to watch Einstein. Einstein's way of playing is to run back and forth in the same path and Rex just giggles away watching him. I'll also take Rex and act like we are getting Einstein and it just gets him rolling. I'm going to try to get it on video soon and I'll have to upload it for all to see.

He got his 6 month pictures taken the other day and he did GREAT! It was a struggle to get his hand out of his mouth...probably due to his tooth coming in that I had no idea was there! But I think it makes the picture extra cute with his hand there. He's still so chunky to me...but I love it! He really is a very happy baby and I couldn't have asked for a better baby. I was hesitant with having a third baby, but if I had known for sure that the third one would have been like him, I wouldn't have been scared at all. We really have been blessed with such wonderful children, they really are all three good kids now and were/are all good babies too. I feel very blessed and would be lost without them.
