Carsyn 7 Months

Filed Under: Christmas, Family Tagged With: carsyn, milestone

Carsyn is 7 months old today. It was a crazy day so I didn’t get his 7 month pictures done yet, but I will on Monday. He is still pretty immobile. Which is a good thing and exactly like his brother. Dustyn never crawled. He went straight to walking around 10 months. So I am enjoying this immobile time.

He still has this cold/cough which has lasted over 3 months. It will seem like it is getting better then come back full force. The doctor said it probably won’t go away until after cold/flu season. It really has put a damper on his sleep and he play time while awake. He has been waking up 2-4 times a night, but just in this past week it has only been once a night. Last night he slept 7:30-6:30 then fell back asleep until 8:15. I feel so much better. YAY for sleep! Praying it continues.

 He really is such a happy baby as long as he is being held. As soon as you put him down totally different story. He smiles and talks to every one. He still won’t take a bottle so I guess we will go straight to a sippy cup when he is ready. He also isn’t eating much solids. I have given him little taste of our foods, but I really want to do baby led weaning. I am going to skip the whole baby food stage

We did take the boys to see Santa today {as you can tell by the pictures}. Then we “built” a gingerbread house when we got home. I will have to tell you that story at a later date

    It's hard to believe he's growing up so fast and I love reading how each child is different. Yay for Santa!

    Thanks for joining, how great that no one cried with Santa, makes for a great picture! I did baby-led weaning too and pretty much skipped the baby food with Sawyer. It was a great experience although now, at 18 months he is a stinker when it comes to drinking anything. Beautiful pictures as always!

    oh poor Carsyn (and poor momma!) Graham has had an upper respiratory infection the last few weeks and it is heartbreaking :( I hope Carsyn can shake the cough soon, and hooray for good sleep!

    OHMIGOODNESS! I just fell over from cuteness! We haven't done Santa pictures... I'm not sure if we will. It was too cold last night when we had scheduled it. :(

    I love the Santa suit on Carsyn :] Our pediatrician told us to give Hunter some pedialite (however you spell it) to help break up the snot, have him sleep on an incline, and use a humidifier while he slept for his cold. Hope he starts to feel better soon! Poor little guy!

    Awww, Happy 7 MonthDay, little one!!

    Love the Santa pictures!!

    Just wanted to throw this out there - we dealt with endless coughing and an unconcerned ped for close to four months and then a few weeks ago, they decided to take another x-ray and decided our little man had pneumonia. His x-ray back in August had been clear. Keep following up with it and don't let them brush you off if you're concerned!

Welcome

I'm Sarah and I am the writer behind this blog. I love sharing recipes, DIY projects, photos and about my everyday life. I married my high school sweetheart Kenny. We have three boys and one baby girl - Dustyn, Carsyn, Prestyn, and Annelyn. Thanks for stopping by, can't wait to get to know you more. Read More…

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
