Seven Months

 Seriously, how cute is this nugget?! Gah I can't stand it!

Weight: 22-23lbs? (Not exact since we don't have a fancy scale at home)

Height: 27.5in

Hair: Brown.

Eyes: Brown.

Clothes: Still barely fitting in the 6 month clothes, and starting to fill out more of the 9 month clothes. Megan got you a shirt that was 12 months and it fit surprisingly well...and I had to buy you 12 month shorts the other day because the 6-9 month ones don't fit over your ham hocks anymore! 12 months are a little loose but I can't find 9 month bottoms anywhere. Slightly annoying.

Diapers: 3, but 4's are in our future. Just finishing up the pack of 3's we have open. 

Sleeping: Pretty much consistently waking around 11:30 and again at 3:30. The first time you just want snuggles and to be rocked back to sleep, the second time you want to eat. Usually it's quick and you're right back to sleep, but I sure do miss those nights where you slept all the way through! I can't figure out why you are waking up the first time though. You fall asleep usually before or around 10, so that's only an hour, hour and a half...not even your 3 hour eating window.  I think teething is a big part of it so hopefully you'll go back to sleeping longer once that is out of the way.

Likes: Sitting up and playing with your toys, the small laundry basket that you stole from the laundry room, dumping out your toys, being LOUD, when Daddy swings you back and forth, being outside, swinging in your outside swing, fake coughing, peek a boo, going for walks in the stroller. 

Dislikes: Getting out of the tub, being restricted in anyway for any amount of time, not being the center of attention lol 

Eating: You don't have a huge interest in eating baby food, you'll eat a few bites but you are much more interested in whatever we are eating. We'll usually give you small pieces and you play with it more than eat it, but that's okay. I had originally planned on doing baby led weaning instead of baby food until I was given a bunch of it, so I guess we're kind of in the middle. Right now you get baby food once or twice a week, and then bits and pieces of whatever we have at each meal. But mostly you just love to nurse! They say 'food before one is just for fun' so I'm just going with that. And you obviously are growing just fine ;) Oh and you LOVE Puffs. You'll chow down on those like crazy!

Milestones: 2 more teeth, being able to catch yourself if you're sitting up and start to fall over, grabbing everything like no ones business, giving open mouth kisses.

Mama's Favorites: Definitely the kisses!! All of your smiles. Lately I've been singing 'You are my sunshine' to you when I'm trying to get you to nap, and when I start singing you get the biggest grin on your face. Melts my little heart! Then you get all giggly and naptime takes a little longer lol But it's soo sweet!

Baby Things We Can't Live Without: Anything that can go in your mouth (which is basically everything according to you), stroller, outside swing.
