7 months - our cuddle bug!



Weight: 17 lbs on the home scale

Length: not sure

Moods: Chill, happy, snuggly.....he is just a JOY to be around

Favorite foods:  After a confusing period where he couldn't decide if he liked solids (bananas fine one day....horrible the next!), he now loves everything!  He is eating two containers of baby food at some meals....just can't get enough.  He still has a bit of a sweet tooth...the fruit and veggie combos are the best way to get vegetables into him.  

Teeth:  He got his first tooth a few days before he turned 7 months.....bottom left central incisor.  He hasn't bit me yet, so I still think the tooth is cute :-)

Favorite toy:  He loves his crinkly peacock and Sophie the Giraffe.  He's starting to like a couple of board books.

Favorite hobby:  Grabbing your food or chewing on the edge of your plate while you are trying to eat :-)

Playtime: Playmat, jumperoo, sitting with lots of toys around him, being tickled!

Sleep: Usually 7:30 pm - 6:30am.  Up once or twice to eat - bummer!  Two naps per day (around 9 am and 1 pm)

Milestones: 
-Social:  Love that gummy smile!  Cries sometimes when his sister cries :-)
-Language:  Lots less squealing/screaming than Chloe - thank goodness. :-)  Starting to say 'mum mum'
-Gross motor:  Very stable sitter.  Loves to bear weight on his legs.  Rolls across the entire room.  Has gotten his tummy off the ground (crawl position) once or twice
-Fine motor:  Feeds himself puffs (fist, no pincer grasp) and mum mums

Pulling the blocks down Eating the blocks Weight: 17 pounds Moods:  Happy except for meal time....lots of grunting and growling that is hard to interpret (Are you done?  Wanting more?  Wanting to feed yourself???) Favorite Foods:  She loves to feed herself and is doing well with her pincer grasp.  She has tried chicken, hamburger, and ham.  Likes yogurt and cheese.  She loves crackers and Cheerios.  Any berries or soft fruit are a hit.  Also loves roasted sweet potatoes. Teeth:  None yet!  Our latest teether for sure... Favorite toys:  Things with buttons, her farm set. Favorite hobby:  Trying to crawl up the one stair from the carpet to the hardwood; trying to pull up on things. Playtime:  Floor time to practice her mobility.....but now that she's crawling, you've got to watch her like a hawk! Sleep:  Two naps per day (about 2 hours each).  Goes down easy at night and has been...

Weight:  19 lbs, 13 oz Height: 29" Moods:  Sassy!  She has a lot to say (babbling loudly), and has an opinion now when something is taken away from her. Favorite foods:  She is slowing down as far as amount eaten, but still eats everything.  Teeth:  Only 4!  Two central incisors on bottom, and two LEFT upper incisors - they aren't aligned and it's so funny. :-)  See top picture above. Favorite toy:  She really likes her walker, and her new jack-in-the-box from Auntie Krista. Favorite hobby:  Pulling all of the toys out of the toy box, and gunning for the stairs if someone leaves the gate open. Playtime:  Pulling everything out of the cupboards, cruising along furniture, climbing stairs, ruining the big kids' toys, and...finally interested in books! Sleep:  Down around 7:15, up around 5:30 (!!).  Two naps/day, two hours each. Milestones:  -Social:  Laughs when others do.  Mimi...

Weight: 9 lbs, 9 oz (14th percentile) Length: 22" (36th percentile) Moods: She's most happy in the morning.  If we don't get a good morning nap, she tends to be fussy unless held. Favorite foods: Milk! Favorite toy: She likes her activity mat, and will hold the octopus sometimes. Favorite hobby: Defying mommy and daddy with short naps. Playtime: Morning mat time.  Baths are always a hit! Sleep: Around 6 weeks, she began eating at about 2 and 5am.  Around 8 weeks, she cut back to around 3-4 am, then up for the day around 6:30/7.  She's been a bit off since traveling this weekend....but hopefully we get that pattern back!  She has one long mid-day nap, but other naps are irregular.  Milestones: Smiles!  A rare 'coo', which we love to hear.  Good head control. She was born on her great-grandpa Ray's birthday, and turned two months on her great-grandpa Paul's birthday.  My loves     ...
