Baby boy is growing up!

Pierce slept from 10:30 pm to 6:00 am last night. If he keeps this up, he'll be moving to his own room very soon. I'm kind of sad about that. I'll miss having him next to me.

He's getting pretty strong too. I don't really give him enough tummy time, but with a lot of coaxing, my dad and I got him to push himself up pretty high while lying on his stomach. I took the picture after he had been doing it for a while, so we didn't capture him at his peak. We haven't gotten him to do it as well since then, but I'm trying to give him more time on his belly. In fact, he's sleeping on the floor on his tummy right now because I tried to work with him and he got too tired.
He can hold his weight pretty well with his legs now too. Joe wanted to help him learn how to walk, but he can't completely hold his head up yet. (Thanks for holding his head steady Carmen.) I think they want him to be an early walker like Brock (7 months!), but I'm in no rush for that to happen. I walked at 13 months, and I don't think I'm any less advanced than Brock because of it.
He's been taking Zantac for his reflux. I didn't think it was working, but yesterday the doctor said it doesn't make the spitting up go away, it just makes him feel better. So I guess we won't be putting the bibs away for now.

Keep him away from walking!!!! Once they start they are into EVERYTHING!!!! Enjoy the time when you can hold them and love them.

good luck with the reflux!! We fought that Brett and it was so hard to work through. Good news is that they start to out grow it when they switch to solids!!

Sam is sooooo close to walking. I´m not dreading it, but I know we´ll be stepping up the game (not to mention the potty training).
