Noah - 7 Months

Only semi non-blurry shot I could get of him sitting. Kid does not stop moving.

 Weight - 17.2 lbs With all your mobility, your weight has significantly slowed down but that's OK. I know you are growing and perfectly healthy.

Height - 27 in

Appearance -. Your hair is just crazy. Very light and fluffy and turning blond. I love your little 'jack-o-lantern' teeth!

Eating - You nurse every 2-3 hours, generally closer to 2. It is hard to nurse you when we are in public, you are so easily distracted! We've been giving you food a little more consistently as the month went on and you are LOVING it! You will try anything and everything we give you and surprisingly the only thing you've disliked are the Gerber baby lil crunchies (look like mini cheese doodles). I do notice that when you have a little more to eat, it is harder for you to go #2. So I'm limiting you to only eating once a day or every other day (solid food. don't worry, I'm not starving my child) and only for breakfast or lunch.

Sleeping - You sleep from around 8 or 9pm - 7am usually waking up once, sometimes twice to eat. You may be getting into somewhat of a napping routine. Generally, you will nap around 830am no more than an hour. Another nap in the afternoon that is a little longer than your morning nap. You will then nap once again in the early evening for a short time.

Sizes -  You wear 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

  
Milestones - Pulling up, climbing, trying to stand alone, and cruising furniture!

Getting your fourth and fifth teeth.

You have started to take baths sitting up. You love being able to sit up and SPLASH.

You will actually crawl to us after pooping and will whine as if you are telling us to change you. Mommy and daddy love that you are communicating with us!

 Likes - food, exploring the house, taking a bath, chewing on everything, watching Alena and Christian play, looking out the windows and doors
Dislikes - getting stuck or falling while trying to stand and crawl, when you have a dirty diaper, waiting to eat, being put down when you are tired (you like to be held or nursed to sleep), diaper changes

 

Noah, my dear sweet boy. You have done so much growing this past month and I just can not believe you are now closer to one year than not. Seven months just sounds so OLD to me. You have started interacting with Alena and Christian more now that you are so mobile. You will try to climb and wrestle on them. Dear boy, you are always so busy! Crawling, exploring, and playing. You are such a good independent player but love when others engage you in play too. Noah, you bring us so much joy!
