10 Months

      I feel like every month I make a comment about how fast time is going, but it REALLY is flying by. I keep telling myself that in two short months Knox will turn one!!!! I can't even begin to process that. I tear up every time I think about. It makes me sad because he isn't my little newborn anymore. I seriously started crying at a friends wedding during the mother-son dance. I kept thinking how before we know it that will be us! Yes, I am pathetic!

    I truly am excited for things to come. I can't wait until he learns to walk... well, maybe I can wait because I know he will be into EVERYTHING! I love to watch him grow and learn. He will do something and then clap for himself. He has such a personality. He smiles at everyone. When he figures out what makes people laugh he does it over and over and over!
 
    I could go on and on but I won't. Here are somethings that happened this month...

He will eat ANYTHING! No joke! So far I have found nothing this boy won't eat. Textures will still take him by surprise but that doesn't stop him.

Tyler was so excited when he bought this! Even though Knox won't really be able to play with this for a few years Tyler just had show him right away. Knox was good at handing Tyler the cars after the flew down the track.

Knox went to his first little league baseball game. My soon to be nephew had his first game of the season, and we decided it was the perfect time for Knox to catch his first ball game. As you can see it was super sunny and hot. It was also the first time Knox really got a chance to crawl around in the grass. He isn't a fan. Textures really bother him and it takes him some time to get used to things.

       Overall it has been a good month. Well, Knox did get hand, foot, and mouth that was such a pain to deal with. Really sad to watch. Other than that it was a great month. I just love him so.

Little Man is Growing Up - 9 months!

         Obviously, I am awful at keeping up with this blog, but it is my new goal to update more often. The last time I posted about Knox he was 3 months! WOW! 6 months have flown by and I have loved every second of watching him grow. Here are some new accomplishments...

A few weeks ago he started pulling up!! He started crawling long enough to crawl over to the couch and pull up! 

At 5 months we started eating solids. YUM! I tried at first to make his baby food, but he loved the jar stuff better. When he tries something new the texture always freak him out! Now that he is used to the texture I am able go back to making his food. I am using Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron as a guide. LOVE IT! There hasn't been a food he doesn't like!

At 6 months we took him to the beach for the first time ( Hilton Head)! It was also the first time just the three if us took a trip together. We had one amazing day and the 3 were miserable! All three of us were super sick. Thankfully were at a condo and not in a single hotel room. He LOVES the water! I am looking forward to summer so we can spend all of our time at the pool.

 One thing I was finally glad to put together was his playroom! My father-in-law is amazing at making furniture, and made the shelf you see here for me for Christmas.We finally got gates to cage in this little monkey, and boy does he love to play! He never sits still  unless he is sleeping.

          In a nutshell, Knox loves to be outside, always takes his socks and pants off, loves throw all his toys over the railing, only fusses if he is tired or hungry, loves to play with other kids, LOVES his puppy ( even though she could care less about him), constantly screams at the top of his lungs for fun, enjoys wagon rides, and you could push him in a swing for hours! 

        I love being his mom and feel truly blessed that God gave me this little boy to take care of. I LOVE YOU KNOX TIMOTHY RECKER!
