7 months have come and gone...QUICKLY! I cannot believe how much has changed in the last 7 months, and even more so, how much little B has changed. He has went from this newborn who didn't make too much noise to a baby with a ton of personality! It is SO much fun living life with him, for both Keith and I, and every day seems like a new adventure as we get to experience everything he does for the first time. To say we are blessed to get to be his parents is an understatement. Thank you Jesus for this precious little man you've entrusted to us, we are forever grateful.
So what is he up to now? Well, he is moving, not crawling, but he can and does move from left to right and backwards (kicking his legs and moving his arms). He hasn't quite figured out how to lift his midsection yet. He still would prefer to just roll over from tummy to back, so I don't know how interested in crawling he is at the moment. I think he has figured out that we will give him his toys and the same amount of attention whether he is on his tummy or his back, and lets face it, laying down on his back is much easier ;), little stinker. He will get there, eventually, so until then, we are enjoying not having to worry about him getting into everything. He does love to stand though, so maybe he will end up bypassing crawling and go straight to walking...lets hope not! ;)
He has his two bottom teeth (they are absolutely adorable), and is working on getting a few of the top. Teething is NOT FUN for anyone, poor little guy. In fact he is teething at the moment, hence why getting a good 7 month picture wasn't too easy. These top ones are causing a lot more pain then the bottom did, that's for sure. But he is loving experimenting with "chewing", it is so funny to watch him chew and feel out his new teeth.
He still is a great eater, and is enjoying more and more solids. Textures and tastes don't seem to bother him as he has not rejected anything we've offered. This month we will try some more green veggies so maybe we will get a different reaction?! He has started picking up 'puffs' and eating those, it is pretty cute to watch him feed himself!
He LOVES his mommy and his daddy so very much. He lights up when one of us walks in the room. I will leave the room for a minute to grab something and as soon as I come back and he sees me, he gets this bashful smile on his face, it melts my heart, every. single. time. His smiles and laughs are the highlights of our days. And he has just started burying his head in our shoulder or our chest as if he is hugging us, it is such a precious moment each time he does it.
He has become more and more aware of "strangers" and isn't as quick to give someone a smile without first checking mommy's face to see how she reacts.
He still enjoys books, music, and dancing (with mommy and daddy of course). And he loves, loves, LOVES being thrown up in the air and caught.
We spend a good amount of time outside each day on a blanket or taking a walk...these are most definitely his favorite parts of the day.
He has graduated from the ERGO (although he still rides in it occasionally) to the cart at the store and he sure loves sitting like a big boy!
He said "dada" this month, he obviously doesn't know what that means, but Keith was pretty happy :). He talks quite a bit, especially when he is alone in his crib...it is pretty funny to watch on the monitor.
He is very aware of EVERYTHING going on around him, he just takes it all in. He loves water, baths, the pool, or even being squirt with a spray bottle :).
He is growing healthy and strong and we are enjoying every moment with him! Happy 7 months sweet boy!
