Seven Months

7 Months

• The fun news this month is that you learned how to sit up and you got your first tooth! It is amazing to see you grow and get bigger. You still aren't amazing at sitting up, but not due to lack of ability. You are so wiggling that when we get you into sitting position, you just flop back onto your tummy because that is how you prefer to be. Being able to sit up makes it such that now you are sitting in your high chair at the table (bring on the JoJo zone). The other morning, you woke up early and I was able to put the basket of toys in front of you and go back to sleep on the couch (love this stage). 
• Your tooth also came while we were in Oregon. Although that tooth does not do much to increase your food consumption, there is no worries in that department. You are an eating machine. There has been nothing that you haven't liked. Also, the amount you eat is crazy. When we sit down at the table, you start screaming to feed you. You will keep screaming because we can't shovel it into your mouth fast enough. Uncle Joe kept commenting how much you ate. You have a lovely rolly poly figure to prove it.
• You are beginning to say Dada more. I don't know if you actually know what it means, but you do seem to say it more when Dad is around than when he is not.
• You have amazing big sisters and brother. We have been really busy getting the garden ready and building the chicken coop. They have been taking turns watching you while we work on those projects. 
• Your wiggling around has led us to put up our first baby gate ever. It is not found having it up, but when I found that you had wiggled yourself under the piano, I knew it was only a matter of time before you wiggle down the stairs. 
• You are so incredibly happy and smiley. I really have loved the baby you are growing into being (plus that reflux med helped).
