THE PAGNOZZI FAMILY: June 2013

Wow! It feels just like yesterday I was holding Hana's hand and walking her to her class room.
I know I say this in every post, but where has the time gone??!!

Hana finished Kinder. She had an awesome year. She has matured and learned so much this year. She finished reading above grade level at a "D" (kinder is "c"). She received As and Bs all year, with the lowest B being an 88. The last semester she had smiley faces every day for conduct.
Hana grew ___in ( and gained ___lb. (45lb) the whole kinder year.

Ricky was so sad for second grade to be over. He had so much fun in second grade. His teachers were AMAZING. Mrs Scott really went above and beyond for her students. You could tell she teaches because she loves it and truly cares about her students. We were super blessed to have her as Ricky's teacher.
Ricky had an awesome year. He had straight As all year. With the lowest being 96 for the last semester or the final average a 98. To bad he's not old enough to qualify for a scholarship.
He is reading above level at a Q ( level is L-N).
At end of second Ricky weighs 65lbs and is 55in tall.

Getting ready for awards ceremony.

Hana accepting her awards =)

So proud of her and her accomplishments.

Vincent didn't find the award ceremony very entertaining.

Math award, Principals award ( highest conduct), citizenship award and math award.

Last day of school .

As long as they wore their Coyote shirt they were able to have their friends sign it.

3 months:

loves to smile/giggle

discovered his hands. He can stare at them for a long time and keep himself entertained.

4 months!

He is 13.14 lbs, 25 inches long, head 16 cm.

He is growing way to fast.

He tried his 1st foods. Peas. He was not very excited about foods and seemed like he can take it or leave it. We tried a few more after that, but he doesn't seem ready. We will wait till he's 5 months.

He loves to smile, coo and stare at his hands.

He is sleeping better. He was finally introduced to his crib and starts the night in it. He wakes up around 2am and than we spend the night together. I still love waking up to his big smiles in the morning.

We started introducing vaccines and he received the whooping cough. Their is a vaccine shortage so he was not able to get the other 2 just yet.

His little "Elvis" impersonation.

How cute is this face?!?!?!

Vincent 5 months:

Teething

smiles and laughs a lot

sleeping is still a challenge. Still ends up with mommy at night.

We are working on sitting up

better at eating food, mainly fruits mixed with cereal.

Is starting to learn how to jump in his jumparoo.

6 months:

Are we really at 6 months already??!! Unbelievable.

I have really been enjoying my time with him.

16.4 pounds (23%)

27.5 inches long (79%)

41.9cm head circumference (7%)

At 6 months he is starting to sit. He can pretty much sit by himself. When he giggles really hard he falls over or when he sees something and leans towards it.

He has started eating solids. Sometimes he will eat stage 2. He loves puffs. He loves fruit and hates vegetables. We have a hard time getting him to open his mouth for those.

He loves to jump in his jumparoo.

He is becoming very curious and loves exploring.

Sleeping is still a challenge most nights. Sometimes he surprises us and sleeps till 5am. Woo hoo!! I have been better at putting him back in his crib in the middle of the night. It's very sad. I miss waking up to a smile and blue eyes gazing at me in the mornings.

7 Months

He still finds it difficult to sleep through the night. We do get a break some nights, but he still ends up in bed with me. It doesn't really bother me much. I get to wake up next to him and his gorgeous smile. Not a bad way to wake up.

He is showing more of a temper than the others. When he is put down for a nap and has to cry it out, you can hear him throwing his feet and his little legs kicking with all he's got.

He is becoming attached to a little blue teddy bear. It is his sleep buddy.

He loves to laugh. He is easily amused. It's the best sound.

He sits up great.

His teeth came in this month. He has 3 ( 2 top 1 bottom). So, he is chewing a lot.

He does not like vegetable baby food. When we have dinner, I chop it up. He loves to eat what we are eating. He loves snacking on puffs.

( I didn't take the usual "sticker 7 month" pics. Thankfully I was playing around with the camera 1 day.

This face makes me laugh.

8 Months

Getting more teeth!!

Very comfortable seating and working on crawling.

Eats small bites of food.

Starting to get separation anxiety. Always has to be held or played with.

9 MONTHS

Did I really write 9 months!!??? UGH. How do you make it stop??????

Sleeping: makes it through most of the night, till about 5am. There are still quiet a few nights he wakes up at night, but is able to fall asleep. Well most times.

He is at the beginning stages of crawling. Even though he does not have it mastered yet, he has no problems moving to where he wants to.

He loves to play with toys and clap.

He giggles and smiles a lot. It's the best thing in the world.

We have to watch his head because his soft spot is hard now. We will re-evaluate in 6 weeks to see if we have to proceed with a CT scan. No milestones have been missed though.

29.3"height (77%), 17lb 14oz weight (9%), 44cm head (14%)
