We started letting Adam cry it out when going to sleep at night. Our house was not a real fun place to be at about 9pm on Friday. We decided that we'd let him cry for 5 minutes or so, and then go in and calm him down - but not pick him up or let him fall asleep in our arms which had become the norm.
The first time in, the poor kid was so worked up, he was sweating looking up at us confused as to why we weren't coming to rescue him. We calmed him down and let him go after we left the room, and after about a half hour we finally gave up and no more tears. Saturday night was easy, he must have been exhausted and went right down. Last night was similar to Friday but he stopped crying in about 20 minutes.
He is sleeping much better through the night though (knock on wood), so HOPEFULLY we can finally get on somewhat of a sleep schedule.

We clap now...
One of Adam's new favorite things is to sit and clap. He started a few days ago and he's loving it. He was clapping watching the Cubs with me yesterday, he sat outside the bathroom and clapped when Jenny and I were getting ready this morning -- too cute. We have some more pics to add from yesterday, with a few action shots of Adam clapping and smiling.
He's also just started moving from a sitting position to a crawling position this weekend, but no crawling yet. He'd still much rather be standing up - and now clapping.
Not sure why yet (no new teeth) but he's not a big fan of sleep or bottle feeding. "The books" say he should be sleeping 10 hours and only taking a couple naps a day. Not sure when we'll be able to get this buckaroo on a schedule, every day recently has been different - some days he hogs the bottles, others its three pulls and then pushing the bottle away. Some days he's out like a light in your arms, others we're taking laps until the wee hours.
I used to say to others "you'll get all the sleep you need when you're dead" - karma sucks. He's pretty darn cute though...

7 Months
Well, 7 months tomorrow but I'd probably forget to post and I have time today.
He's doing pretty well, we started this weekend eating Puffs so he's still getting the handle on those but seems to really like them so far. I think we've been through all the fruits and veggies he's going to try and there aren't any he doesn't like -- at least initially.
Not quite crawling yet, a lot of rocking back and forth on his hands and knees. He prefers to be standing up and/or bouncing up and down though, so we haven't concentrated much on crawling this week.
He's been sitting up by himself for a few weeks now. Pretty good balance now that he's got the hang of it.
His hair is really starting to come in, not really a bald spot anymore just a lot of blond or light brown hair coming in.
Still just the two bottom teeth, but you can see the top two are right there just haven't popped through yet.
