7 Months



Can you believe it.... 7 months already? We can't! We weren't too into the 7 month photo shoot as evidenced below ----so the monster shirt seems appropriate. Here are 7 things about our little man at 7 months

1. Crawling! He has started to crawl. It's kind of hit or miss. Sometimes he takes off and sometimes not so much, but he's moving.

2. Standing. He loves, loves, loves to stand. He's constantly pulling up on things and always reaching up for our hands so he can stand. Then once he gets to a stand he's so proud of himself. He can stand holding on to something for quite a long time.

3. Eating. We finally let him have some food. So far in addition to rice cereal, we've tried sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas and apples. The sweet potatoes and bananas were a hit, not too much else.

4. Sleeping. Now that teeth 3 and 4 have broken through and the teething pain has resided it's tough love time. We are only 3 nights into it (I guess this is more like 7 1/2 months what he's up to), but he seems to be doing okay.



5. Jingles. He loves to reach for Annie and Winston's jingles on their collars. It's somewhat problematic when they start to walk away because he usually topples over.

6. Between sizes. I was struggling with having all of his clothes out so I put away most of his 3-6 months clothes and got out all of his 6-9 months. He can still wear his 3-6 month one piece outfits that are shorts, so we do rely on those a lot. Unfortunately, he tends to swim in his 6-9 month clothes, especially the pjs. There are about 2 pairs of 6-9 months pjs that fit him, the rest are too big. This is especially problematic with the crying it out strategy because he fusses around and almost always ends up with both legs in one leg of his pjs.


7. Favorite toys. He really likes this race track/ race car toy that Mark's friends Drew, Meg and Sean got for him and he also likes this learning farm walker thing that we inherited from cousin Emily. Thanks everyone!
