7 months old



Seven months already!
19 lbs
cute as a button.

Rolls around like crazy--twice this week I've JUST caught him as he rolled off our bed! We have to get used to his new found mobility!
Pulls himself up to stand on furniture.
Rocks back and forth on all fours.
Hums himself to sleep.
Very verbal, lots of 'mmmmmmah! mmmmmmmah! Bwah bwah bwah! Ahhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhh!'
Pushes himself backwards on tummy.
Puts everything in his mouth.
Started solids at 6 1/2 months. VERY independent eater; shudders if fed but experiments if left alone with soft finger foods.
Has an extremely infectious giggle.
Homebody.
Easily distracted when nursing.
Wakes twice in the night to feed; once around midnight and again around six or seven.
Naps in playpen, nighttime co-sleeps in our bed.
Separation anxiety from momma.
Buries face in pillow, momma, ergo carrier, or playpen sides to fall asleep (so cute. so anxiety inducing to mom).

Hates:
being fed
being alone when awake
stroller
car seat
long trips

Loves:
spoons
tupperware
big brothers
daddy
water to drink
water to bathe in
TOYS
ergo carrier
our cat
cuddles
walking around holding onto our hands

Nicknames:
Mr. Magoo (Ayden)
Smiley (daddy)
Widdle Wiwey (Matthew)
Boo (momma)


We love you, Boo!
