7 Months and Counting...

I feel like just yesterday I was posting about this little man turning half a year, and here we are again. Brandt is such a joy to have around. He loves being part of the action with big siblings and get so excited when they include him. Unless he's sleepy, teething or hungry, he is a happy camper. He loves talking, smiling, and observing everything (he is very inquisitive lately).

He still is a good sleeper and as of the last few days has become more okay with eating solids, but we still have a long way to go to make that something we do regularly...he still is taking after Brooklyn in this department. But I'm enjoying the cuddles I get from all the nursing, so I'll take it one day at a time, I know before I know it he will be eating just like the big kids.

He still doesn't have a tooth! And honestly I am shocked, one because he seems to have been teething forever, and two, because both his siblings had multiple teeth at this point in their life. So come on tooth!! Not going to lie though, I adore the toothless grin.

He is no where near crawling (like big brother at this age). He is perfectly content sitting and just hanging out and anytime he's on his tummy he immediately flips to his back. He can push himself backwards but he just gets frustrated and rolls over ;). Speaking of frustration, this kid is again, like his brother, and gets frustrated when toys don't function the way he wants, or when he doesn't get his way when he wants it...so we will see if the easy going personality I thought he had stands true as he matures.

He still loves water (playing in it and drinking it), being outside, books (being read too), being sung too, balls, music, playing head shoulders knees and toes or patty cake, playing "with" the big kids, being tickled, being talked to, playing the piano, his jumper and trees/plants.

He is growing well, still chubby just the way we like it :). We adore this sweet boy and praise the Lord for the 7 months we've had with him. We pray his life would be a sweet offering to the Lord.
