7 months

My sweet Cheeks,

You are seven months old! (Well, on December 19th you were!)

Cheeks, at 7 months you:

*Weigh a bit over 22 lbs. You wear a mix of size 12 month and 18 month clothes and a size 3 diaper.
*Eat mostly breast milk, but you are really into solids these days. You love oatmeal, green beans, peaches, and sweet potatoes and like most of the other things we've given you. You don't like the one meat selection we've given you, chicken with brown rice, but we'll keep on trying.
*I'd say you're crawling, you are a mobile little guy, but you're not a huge fan. You're suddenly into climbing up onto everything. It's scary for me, but I let you climb do your thing within reason so you can learn.
*I see a bit of white of your first tooth popping through your gums on your top teeth! I think it will be quickly followed by a bottom tooth and I hope they get here soon {but at the same time, not, because it makes my nipples hurt just thinking about being bitten}.
*You just had your first big boy bath alone in the tub sitting up today! You loved not being squished into the tiny infant tub any more and splashing your toys around.
*Love feeling things and scratching your fingers on things. 
*You're still into screeching and razzing and have a new found love of pulling mommy's hair.
*You love playing peek a boo with daddy and you love laughing and climbing on our doggie.
*Sleep has been much, much better this month! We're usually getting at least 5 hour stretches overnight and maybe one wake up. You go down easily at 8, usually wake around 11 or 12 for a dream feed, then back down until around 7. So glad we're all getting some more sleep around here!


Love you,
your mama
