7 Months

 Happy 7 Months to our sweet little baby boy!  Already 7 months old, it's crazy.  He is turning into a little boy and has such a personality.  It's amazing to see him grow and change each and every day.  As much as I try to keep the blog updated, I can't catch everything, as it happens so fast. 

We have a doctor's appointment this week, so I will update with his height and weight then. 

Milestones:

• Repeating some sounds
• Clapping (and he's learned to clap after you say, "yay!" - so cute)
• Up on all fours rocking back and forth (oh lordy)
• Beginning to tuck his knees under him when doing tummy time
• And we are STILL teething.  
• Sitting in a convertible rear-facing car seat
• Pulling to stand

Food:

Eating 26 oz each day and solids 2-3 times.  We've created a monster because he would rather eat solids than his bottle.  I have to force him to drink the bottles these days.  Here's a list of his likes and dislike.

LIKES:

• squash
• sweet potatoes
• mangos
• peaches
• yogurt
• apples
• bananas
• mum-mums
• yogurt melts
• veggie sticks

HATES:

• green beans
• peas
• avocado
• carrots

Sleep:

We are finally STTN - that's SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!  Yes, you read that right.  Amen sista!  Plus, he's been napping so much better.  It's hard now that he's in the big car seat because I have to be home in order for him to nap, no more napping on-the-go unless it's a short catnap in the car.  This makes it so he sleeps so much better though.  It limits what we can do in a day, but it's SO worth it. 

Schedule:

This is our typical day:

8:00 - wake up

8:30 - eat (bottle + a fruit)

9:30 - morning nap

11:00 - eat

2:00 - eat

3:00 - afternoon nap

5:00 - eat (bottle + a veggie)

6:30 - bath & eat

7:00 - bedtime

Now that Grady is more mobile, things have become a bit more interesting around here.  Our old, typical monthly photo shoots were calm and fun.  Things have changed, this is what I'm dealing with now:

He's NUTS!  But, I love that nut.  =)
