Pax in the Tub

Pax had a little cold so we gave him a bath with the steam from the shower filling the room (sorry about the quality) so it would break some of the guk in his lungs. Pax loves to splash in the tub so we thought he would really enjoy swimming lessons. We start in May! I can't wait!

Pax is almost eight months and on a perfect day, if we aren't running around during the day, his schedule usually goes like this:

Wake up around 7:00 - 8:30 drink 7 oz and eat cereal with fruit

Nap #1 10:00-12:00

Lunch 12:00 drink 7 oz and eat fruit or vegetable

Nap #2 2:00-4:00

Dinner 4:00 drink 7 oz and eat vegetable

Bedtime 7:00 drink 7 oz

We try not to be too strict with this schedule, but the truth is, Pax really likes being on a sleeping schedule, so much so that he made his own schedule. He has missed many naps, and is okay, just not as giggly as he is when he gets his naps in. He can fall asleep in the car, but not yet in the stroller on a walk. Sometimes we only feed him solids twice a day and and he eats more at eat sitting. It really just depends on the day. We are flexible about his feeding time too. By the way, I am still really enjoying making food for Pax so far he has had, rice cereal, oatmeal, and whole grain cereal, nanners, mango, avocado, apples, sweet potato, acorn squash, butternut squash, green beans, peas, pears and carrots. I think I will buy organic green beans next time because I just can't seem to get them smooth enough. The other day we went to my Dad's house to celebrate his birthday and by the time we got there (an hour and a half after he ate) my dad pulled a little piece of green bean from Pax's mouth. I felt so bad, what if he had choked?
