You turned 7 months old on Thanksgiving! Yes 7 months ALREADY!! Where has the time gone! The months are just flying by and pretty soon you're going to be a year old. But lets not talk about that yet. I know you won't care but once again I've slacked off on keeping up on your monthly updates. So, I'm combining your 6 and 7 month updates into one post to (1) get caught up and (2) I can't remember exactly what you did in each month as they've both blurred together. So here we go!
At your 6 month check-up you weighed 16 lbs and were 27" long which the doctor said is long for your age. He also said you are lean and you need to gain a little more weight. So eat...eat...eat. You got another round of vaccines plus a flu shot and you did pretty well considering. You cried every time he stuck you with a needle which was three different times - one in each leg and one in the arm! But as soon as he was done you were fine and up and smiling again. Your brother felt bad for you though and would come running over each time you cried saying, "It''s okay Mason, it's okay". Such a great big brother!
You are now eating jar food besides formula and rice/oatmeal cereal. You definitely like fruit more than the veggies. Your favorites are pears, bananas, and the mixed apple/banana/pear. The veggies you like to eat most are sweet potatoes and carrots. Anything green you absolutely don't like to eat especially green beans. It's a big ordeal and you spend most of the time spitting it out. Though daddy mixes the green beans with oatmeal and can usually sneak it into your diet and you don't seem to mind as much.
You are teething right now and are a drool monster! You always have a wet spot on your clothes right under your chin. But you know how to keep yourself entertained with the help of all that drool - blowing bubbles! What kid wouldn't!! I get a kick out of watching you and watching your expressions. You're a hoot that's for sure! But that will all come to end when you get your teeth and speaking of which you got your first tooth last week. Yay! A tooth came in in the front on the bottom. I tried to get a picture but you wanted nothing to do with it. You don't really like anyone putting their fingers in your mouth. So the only way to get a look at it is making you laugh. But I wasn't able to do that and get a picture.
You're on the verge of crawling! I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing because then we'll have two mobile kids. Ha! It really could be any day though. When we put you on the floor on your belly you use your arms to push up and you'll spin yourself around depending on what gets your attention. Our cat, Sophie, gets your attention every time and you always turn towards her and try to grab at her. But most of the time you never even come close. That's probably a good thing because we don't want to make Sophie mad. Now you just need to figure out how to use your legs!
Happy six and seven month birthday sweet little boy! You and your brother bring so much joy to our lives. We are so blessed to have two wonderful boys!!
Love,
Momma
