7 (and a half) Months

This is the most super late month post I've ever done... deal with it. ;)

Growth:

This kid won't stop growing! He's between 6 month and 9 month clothes and is becoming us a little person.

Looks:

He still is rocking his gorgeous red hair.  It's the first thing everyone notices at stores followed by how beautiful his eyes are.  

Firsts and Milestones:

A week before he turned 7 months, he had just started really crawling, moving one knee and one arm at a time. He was trying to pull himself up to stand.

At 7 1/2 months he is full blown crawling, pulling himself up to stand and beginning to move his feet while holding onto the couch!!  Yikes!

Sleep:

We're in the crib a whole lot more but still not through the whole night.  Nap times during the day are pretty regular with a long nap around 9 am and then a shorter nap around 2 or 3 when I get home and nurse him.

Food:

He loves food! Corn, puffs, yogurt drops, bread, pasta, turkey, chicken, spaghetti... I'm amazed at how much he likes to eat! And how much he eats! He took an 11 oz bottle the other day!

Language:

Still just shrieks of laughter when he's happy and lots of crying when he's frustrated (mostly when it comes to not standing anymore after he's pulled himself up). No words yet.

His favorites:

He LOVES the Little People Santa's Village that we have.  He also loves bouncing in his jumperoo and eating. Chasing the cat and Emmalee are enjoyable to him also. 

My favorites:

I still love the nursing snuggles, as I know they are short lived.
His snuggles into my shoulder when he is tired are pretty amazing too.

So we'll see you here in about a week for his 8 month update! Ha!
