He's been eating a lot more solids. Nothing has been irritating him at all so it's great. He doesn't seem constipated and now he will eat almost anything (baby and table food, yay!). Unfortunately, it means his stool is becoming a lot more adult-like, yay. He doesn't breastfeed a ton anymore which I thought would be easier but it's kind of harder! Going down to the kitchen and finding something baby-safe isn't always as convenient as just sticking him on. He now has two teeth so hopefully that is helping him with his solids.
Sleep is... whatever. I have a belief that babies need consistency to help them learn how to sleep through the night. That just isn't a top priority for us right now since we are traveling a lot. I'm just used to getting up with him. Crying it out, or any form of it really takes it out of me and its just not worth it to me at this point in time. We will worry about sleep when summer is over!
Just recently he has been waking up in his crib on all fours. Sometimes super happy and sometimes crying, like he still wants to sleep but he doesn't know how to get back to his back. It's really cute but this whole rolling over thing has made naps and diaper changes a lot more difficult.

He's been giving me SO many kisses. Just wide-open, slobbery mouth kisses. He "talks" so it makes noises on my face. It cracks him up. My favorite is when he laughs at me laughing. He has the best giggle when I'm actually really laughing vs my fake, silly mom laugh. I think its amazing that babies can pick up on that sort of thing.
We've been traveling a lot this month. We went to Cle Elum with the Chlarson/Anderson gang, the Pink House (twice), and to Ephrata.
July 12 at the Pink House, Crew learned to scoot! We got there around 8:30pm (past his bedtime) and set him on the floor and he started to go. He had never done that before. He used all his arm strength to scoot his whole body, like an inch-worm.
July 14, two days later, he started to wave to everyone there. It was like he was holding back at home but once he got to the Lake it was time to show off his skills. Its so cute paired with his little scrunch face where he scrunches his nose and squints his eyes. It kills me.
The lake was a blast. That trip he also went on his first wave runner ride with me and Dame. At first he was a little skeptical but there was no fussing so we kept going. Once he got used to it, he was all smiles. He was OBSESSED with the water that trip. He loved to walk in it with us holding his hands. (Oh yeah he became a speed walker, with some assistance, overnight at the lake.) We sat him down in it and he splashed and ate some sand (mom's fault). He wasn't too happy about the sand but was over it once we walked him around in the water some more. To every person he saw he was doing "the face" probably because he knows what reaction it will get. He does it so much you'd think it would be kind of painful haha. He was such a chill babe at the Lake, he really already loves just being there.
This month he has been extremely into his dad. Its not super fair because I'm still getting up with him a couple times a night.. BUT it's really cute. He now reaches for people and it's almost always to Damon. They have so much fun whenever they are together, I guess it makes sense. It works out that Crew LOVES the water just like his dad.
After the last lake trip we made a pit stop in Ephrata. Crew enjoyed watching all the kids running around. Him and Allis look pretty close to the same age now which it nuts because Crew used to look HUGE next to her. Ephrata is so gorgeous in the summer when the corn is in bloom. I never thought I would enjoy farmland as much as I do now. I can't wait to bring Crew there to enjoy summers each year.
