Makin Is 7 Months Old

I am again in disbelief that you are growing up so fast little man!

Moving...well not really so much, but a little. Still no rolling going on, but if I leave you alone on your back (you are not thrilled at this) you will inch your way to other locations. Hmmm can we say "like father like son?" I believe Brad was a "back crawler" as well. You don't do this fast enough to watch a video, but have gotten half way across a room before, just painfully turtle-like to watch. Other than that not really close to crawling either. Just take the occasional nose dive to your belly when trying to get a toy out of reach.

We are now full force into food world. You will put up with baby food but would much MUCH rather be able to grab everything up with your fingers. You eat every kind of food already, which is new to me. Do not seem to be running into any problems having dairy or meat stuff, so I guess we'll just listen to the pediatrician. You absolutely love finger and snacky foods, usually puffs and crackers. You have no trouble eating a cracker and actually your only "fit" so far when I tried to take one away. You let me know quickly not to mess with your food. You have 3-4 6 oz bottles a day along with your food.

Give me toys! You want to play and you want plenty of toys to be busy with. You love pushing down all the animals on the "knob" toy where you are soon going to learn how to open them. You love balls and have figured out the lever/button on the gumball machine. If you are watching your sister play you want to be playing with whatever she has along with her.

You like to bang toys together and somewhat clap your hands as well.

You love books, especially the ones with animal noises and look at me like, "Mommy you are so silly" when I make them.

You think your sister hung the moon and that anything she does is hilarious. You even try to wrestle with her a little bit and seem to know you are being ornery when you pull her hair. :)

You are now getting your own baths in the big tub (in your tub) with daddy. Sometimes you join sister too (not in your tub) and love it.

You like to sleep on your side. You take 2-3 naps per day, usually in the morning its on the go or right before we leave, then in the afternoon I can hope for a good one, but usually end up rocking you...not sure when I'll get tough on you though! It works for now.

You can stand holding onto something. Standing must seem way cooler than crawling since that is what big sister does.

You are warm blooded. Easily get sweaty so we have already put you to sleep in shorts and are going to have to work to keep you cool this summer!

You are still the sweetest baby and everyone says so. You are wonderfully laid back and happy and smile and laugh so easily. We could not ask for a sweeter little boy and cannot wait for the next month!
