7 Months!

Wow, that went fast.  I was holding a friend’s newborn today and it’s just crazy to think that was him 7 months ago. It’s amazing how much happens in this first year.  Here are some of the highlights of the last month:

• He started crawling a day or two after I wrote his 6 month post.  He’s gotten really fast.
• His bottom two teeth finally broke through today!  They’ve been coming for a while now, hopefully now that they are out they won’t bother him as much.
• As of this morning he can pull himself up to standing in his crib.  He’s not sure how to get back down though.  He’s got a mark on his forehead from trying.
• He sleeps through the night most of the time.  He goes down between 7 and 8 and wakes up between 7 and 8.  We all love this.  A lot. 
• He can feed himself a bottle.  This is fabulous in the mornings when I’m trying to get Carter and Samantha off to school.  He sits in his little chair and drinks his milk.
• He is such a happy baby!   It really doesn’t take much to get him laughing.  He’s super ticklish and thinks it’s hilarious to bounce as we go up and down the stairs. 
• He has learned how to splash in the tub and would spend hours in there if I would let him.  Hopefully he thinks the water at the waterpark (the Dells) later this month is just as fun. 
• He loves food!  He’s a carb junkie like his mom, but he’s slowly branching out.

I sincerely apologize for the boogers in the above picture.  I tried photoshopping them out, but apparently that is above my expertise level. 

And this photo shoot was cut short in order to keep my camera dry. 

He’s an awesome baby and we love his guts!
