Catch-up Part 2: Baseball

Andrew is in Coach Pitch baseball this year. Jeremy is coaching his team, as well as Jeremy's friends, Manuel and Bill. Andrew's so happy because their son's, Brysen and Ty are on his team, too.
JJ and I enjoy watching the games and haven't missed a single one!

Here's some of the team at a high school baseball game. This was their "practice" one Thursday. Jeremy wanted them to see the older boys playing. After the game, the team got to meet the high school players and coaches. The high school players signed baseballs for each child; they thought that was so cool!

Coach Dalmacio and Andrew.

Our Little League Division had a special night at an ASU game where the kids were able to meet the players and coaches and go out on the field for the National Anthem. We purchased the general admission lawn seats and it was great to watch the game and let the boys run around and play.

Andrew is doing well this season. He really has to work on his batting, but when he practices, he can hit well. He does very well in the field. One of his favorite positions is first base and he does great there. I can't believe how far he has come in just 3 seasons of playing. I am really proud of him!

Catch-up Part 1: J.J.

6 Months
JJ weighed 19.8 pounds and was 28.5 inches long at his 6 month check-up.

This month he mastered sitting up and rolling over.

We took a vacation to northern Nevada; we drove 15 hours each way. JJ did so well in the car. I know it's because his big brother was in the backseat to keep him company.

JJ wears size 9-12 months clothing and size 3 diapers. He eats 3 baby foods a day now (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and he drinks 6 oz. bottles about 5-6 times a day.

7 Months

This month, JJ weighed in at 21 pounds.

He had his first swimming pool adventure at Andrew's friend's birthday party. He wasn't too sure about the water. He kept quietly saying "ah" "ah" "ah" like he was about to cry, but he never did.

This month, JJ began to figure out if he keeps rolling, he can go places. So, that's what he sometimes does. He gets a few feet and then starts fussing for someone to just pick him up and take him somewhere.

Also, this month, JJ has began to get bored in his crib. From day one I have laid him down for bed and naps while he is still awake so he can learn to fall asleep without needing to be rocked or already asleep. This month, he has figured out how to untie the bumper and pull it away from the crib. He likes to pull the bumper down on him and then fall asleep. Pretty funny!

He is such a good, happy baby and we are really enjoying watching him and helping him discover new things.
