Very busy around here. Simon is 8 months old as of yesterday. Somehow I'm managing to teach/direct our Summer Theater program 3 days a week. Simon comes with me and plays with a babysitter most of the time. But every once in a while (several times a day) he cries and needs a visit from Mommy. And I have to drive him around to get him to take his mid-day nap. This nap tends to last 27 minutes. He's amazing with the short naps. The kids in theater love him. A 12-year-old girl even sewed a baby quilt for him! That's his Official Park Blanket now and he uses it all the time.
I'm still trying to fatten Simon up, although I have no idea how well it's working. I'm too scared to weigh him, as I'm tired of being disappointed. I'm now adding powdered egg yolk to some of his meals, for the added calories, fat, and protein. I introduced yogurt to him last week and he liked that a lot, too. I just don't understand what he does with all the calories I cram into him. What would he do without all my extra efforts? Starve to death?
Simon is crawling all over the place now. He's starting to pull up almost to standing, but the problem is he can't stand yet. He's getting better, though. He loves to stand and walk, so I have to hold him up or hover while he's holding himself up. Tiring. The weird thing is he hates to sit. He almost never does it. When he does, he can hold himself up pretty well, but he's always reaching for things and tipping over. I would love it if he would sit by himself and play with a toy, but that's not the way it works around here.
We go to see a pediatric surgeon for a consultation about the inguinal hernia on July 28. I'm not looking forward to it.
