Today Jamison is eight months old! I can't believe we have had him for 8 months already. He is growing so quickly. Sometimes when I rock him I just want time to stop so he can always by my baby.

Last week was a rough week. Jamison had an upper respiratory infection and ear infection. I took off work on Thursday so I could take him to the doctor and so he wouldn't have to go to daycare. Andy stayed home with him on Friday. He will go back to daycare tomorrow.

Jamison is now starting to be able to sit down after standing! Before he would just fall down, but now he is intentionally sitting down when he doesn't want to stand anymore.

By the way the pic is from Easter Sunday. Well better go the little guy just woke up from a nap.

Jamison is standing!

So one morning I walked in to Jamison's nursery and he was standing up! He started doing this at 7 1/2 months. He has been standing up on everything since. Here is a video of Jamison standing up today. He also started crawling at around 7 months. We are so proud of our little boy! He is also starting to talk a little bit more as you can tell by the video.
He is also eating a lot more. He has tried cherries, blueberries, peaches, peas, squash, ground turkey, sweet potato, and bananas to name a few.

We also needed to do another sweat test from our last follow up appt with Dr. Wallace, a pediatric pulmonologist. He suggested we do another one because Jamison was borderline on his first test. We did the sweat test last Friday. Jamison did awesome and didn't even cry. All the nurses were surprised that we were done with the test cause they usually hear kids screaming blood murder, but Jamison was a trooper. If you remember from one of my previous entries we did a sweat test to check for Cystic Fibrosis. You have 2 electrodes and current will go through the electrodes to make him sweat. This last test was negative which means that he definitely doesn't have Cystic Fibrosis, but he does carry the gene. We were so relieved.

While we were up in Sioux Falls getting the test done we went the the Kids Superstore and bought a jogging stroller. We absolutely love it! We have been running with it almost every day since we bought it. Jamison likes it too. He is pretty chill in it and usually falls asleep. Andy and I are training for the Susan G Kommen Race for the Cure on Mother's Day. We are super excited for the race! We will let you know how it goes!

Andy just ran a 5k and placed 3rd in his age group and Roxanne also ran the race and got 2nd in her age group. Well it is getting late and Jamison is in bed so I am ready for bed also.
