Spitter
Sometime last week Adam decided that he was going to start spitting his food out. Doesn’t matter fruits or veggies, he’ll open his yap, close it on the spoon, and then PPPPTTTTTHHHHHTTTTHHHHH – out it comes.
He hasn’t done it all of the time, and if we tell him “NO” he’ll stop for a minute and just when you think all is well – PPPPTTTTHHHTTTHHHH… his arms, clothes, the highchair, Jenny or I, and the floor are splatter painted… and then the smile.
Even more entertaining is when he sticks his hand in his mouth while feeding. Nothing cuter than a 7 month old smiling back at you with carrots for hair gel and applesauce in his eyebrows. We have some pics of what happens when dad feeds him that I will post later.

Cryin'
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...
