7 Months

Little Bubs turned 7 months last week and I forgot to mention it, so happy belated 7 months Johnathan! We celebrated your belated new month with your first big boy apple. You had a great time putting your two bottom teeth to use to bite into it.

You are nursing every 2- 3 hours in the daytime and eating 3 solid meals a day. You typically like yogurt for breakfast, fruits and veggies for lunch and a protein and grains for dinner (your favorite is turkey cranberry and apples). For the last few weeks we've been having a really hard time with your nighttime sleep patterns. You want to wake up every two hours to eat! It was really taking a toll on us so Friday we let you cry it out a little. It took you 45 minutes before you fell asleep again and you stayed asleep for four hours! Now we have worked up to a five hour stretch which has been very nice. You have been experimenting with different snacks, your favorite is pizza crust. And you really like drinking water from your sippy cup.

You've been practicing standing up with help and like holding on to furniture for support. You have started crawling a little, about 4-5 steps at a time now! I am seeing a little bit of a Mamma's boy in you, when I walk into the room you sometimes lunge for me from your Daddy's arms. You like to explore everything and your favorite thing to do when Mommy isn't looking is crawl to my laptop and pound on the keys. You also really like helping me start my morning cup of coffee with my keurig machine. I let you push the start button and choose my coffee and you watch as it pours into my cup, you giggle every time! You're very vocal and are always making different noises and squeals. You've got a lot of stories to tell! You wear a variety of clothing between 6-12 months, are wearing size 3 diapers and no new teeth to report.

We love you little boy! xxoo Mom and Dad
