my baby is seven months!

Development: He is a full on sitter now! IMG_9605He will sit and play with toys for a long time. He is also spinning in circles and scooting on his bottom. And he is now also getting up on all fours and rocking. He is also trying to get himself into the crawling position from sitting!

Still no teeth, but I think they have to be on their way soon.

Sleep: Has continued to get better. He is sleeping on his tummy and is no longer swaddled! Yay Gray! He is much better at getting himself back to sleep when he wakes. Though he still usually wants to eat still twice in the night. We will get there!

Eating: He is eating all kinds of stuff. He loves pears! We also added some baby oatmeal cereal to his repertoire. He is also eating sweet potato, apples, avocado, green beans, peas, carrots, bananas. The veggies are not his favorite, but he will eat them.

Still has such a fun, sweet, laid-back personality. He had his first illness this past month and ran a pretty high fever for a few days, and he was such a trooper!

BIG SISTER:

Funny, I feel like every time I write these updates we are coming off of a hard time. She was SO sick last week. The sickest she has ever been. She still had an ear infection and also ended up with viral tonsillitis. She would not eat or drink and continued to run a fever. That week of being sick and getting whatever she wants and lots of mommy time has led to some really hard behaviors. She wants me to hold her all the time and has had some screaming, ugly tantrums. Tough for us all...this too shall pass.

While we were at the doctor numerous times last week, they weighed her and she weighs 31 pounds. They didn’t measure her, but I can say she is TALL.

She is so witty and comes up with the funniest things to say everyday. She can also be the sweetest little angel at times. When she says “I love you mommy”, there is no better feeling.

Well, that is us for now!
