7 Months Old

Our sweet little boy is 7 months old!  Here are a few updates...

Sizes?  Size 6 or 9 month clothes- he just wears what fits since sizes vary between manufacturers.  Size 2 diapers during the day, and size 3 at night.

Eating?  He nurses once a day, and receives three additional formula bottles a day (8 oz).  He's on a pretty great schedule- 6, 10, 2, and 6.  He gets two solid meals a day, as well as snacks of puffs or teething biscuits.  I'm also letting him try to eat some finger foods, and he's done great with fruit.  He's eaten a whole banana (cut into small pieces), a pear fruit cup, and a peach fruit cup.  I'm feeding him fruit packed in water with no added sugar, and breaking the larger fruit pieces into smaller chunks- he loves to pick up the pieces and feed himself!

Sleeping?  Like a champ!  Bedtime is at 6:30 pm, and he'll sleep until 6:30 am.  He also takes a short morning nap and a longer afternoon nap.   I love that he's such an easy baby to put to sleep- we just lay him down, give him his WubbaNub, crank the mobile, turn on the sound machine, and make a hasty exit (I promise that only takes 10 seconds in real life- it looks complicated in print).  He'll talk to his mobile for a little while, but then settle right down and go to sleep.

Favorite things?  Our dogs- He grins bigger for the dogs than anything else.  He also loves to play with his blocks from Mimi and Pop, his Sophie the Giraffe, and his push toy that makes a lot of noise.

New this month?
-First sick visit to the pediatrician for some diaper rash that just wouldn't clear up.
-First date night out for mom and dad, which meant babysitting from his sweet great aunt.
-First trip to the dog park to let the puppies play.

We also got to celebrate Keith's first father's day this month!  We even made a fun Auburn-inspired craft for Keith to place in his office.


How did we live before Pinterest?  I mean, really?


"What did you do to my feet, mommy?"


"I can make my Bumbo turn ORANGE!"


Totally unrelated to our craft and a blurry photo, but too cute not to post.  Look at this cutie pie!

I have the most precious little boy in the world.  I am so blessed to have him in my life.
