7 Months Old

Brandon,

I CANNOT believe 7 months have already flown by. You should not already be this big. Time needs to slow down some so I can enjoy you being little a while longer.  

You are all over the place now. You are crawling everywhere! You will pull up to stand on anything. You can walk around any and all furniture. You are officially getting into everything. I had to start baby proofing our house. The outlets are all covered and the cabinets are secure. I also put some edge protectors on the coffee table so you don't hurt yourself if you fall into it when you pull yourself up.  

Your new favorite things are banging coasters on the coffee table and beating Tupperware with spoons. I guess we need to get you some drums or something. You love remotes and cell phones. If you see one you go straight for it and in the mouth it goes.  

There were a few firsts this month.  Your first visit to a pumpkin patch.  We got some great pictures.  You also had your first boo-boo.  You used your nose to catch you as you fell down and ended up with carpet burn on your face.  I have a feeling I will be seeing more scrapes and bruises in the months to come. 

Sleeping has been a bit of a challenge lately. You have started getting up twice a night now. You were sleeping through he night for a few weeks but I guess you have decided that isn't for you right now. Luckily, we are only up for about 20 minutes (enough time for you to eat and get a clean diaper) before you will go back down. I am hoping this is just a phase and you will go back to sleeping through the night soon. Mommy needs her rest.

We are in full solids mode now. You will eat pretty much anything. The only things you have not liked so far are lemons and a beef medley puree. You actually gagged when trying to eat it. Everything else though, you love. Fruits and Veggies are your thing; just not meat. You are eating between 5-7 oz of solids a day and 30-35 oz of formula.  

We don't have a doctor appointment this month so not sure what your stats are.  You are in size 4 diapers now and wearing clothes mostly in the 9-12 month range with some larger sizes in onesie's depending on the brand.  

I can only imagine what this next month will bring.  Looking forward to the upcoming holidays and getting to see you experience all of what's coming next.  I have a feeling that you are going to be walking before Christmas.  I guess we will see :)

Love, 

Mommy
