Today, Baby Cade, you are 7 months old! You're at such a fun age right now and your little personality is starting to emerge. For the most part, you are still a very happy, smiley baby which makes this whole parenting thing quite a bit easier. You definitely want what you want when you want it and will fuss and cry if we take something from you that you're really enjoying (a wet wash cloth or a plastic spoon during a meal, for example). You are, without a doubt, the light of our lives and we are so blessed to be your parents. Here's a little more about you at 7 months.
- At six months, you weighed 19lbs., 10oz. (80th %tile). You were 28.25 inches long (92nd %tile) and your head was in the 95th %tile. This is not a check-up month, so we can assume you're just a little bigger than that!
- You wear size 3 diapers and size 9-12 and 12 month clothing.
- You are sleeping about 8 hours in one stretch, then back down for 2-3 hours after a feeding. You take about 3 naps a day and go to bed around 7:45.
- You are nursing every 3-4 hours. You also eat oatmeal in the mornings and fruits/veggies around 6:30 in the evenings. So far you've had peas, sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, squash, and carrots. You don't care for peas or bananas too much, but you eat anything we give you. I sure hope that continues!
- You can sit up all by yourself, roll over both ways, and stand up while holding on to something.
- Sometimes you're very vocal and other times you're pretty quiet. Your favorite noises to make are spitting sounds, squealing, and da-da-da.
- You love to jump, listen to Mommy sing, bounce in our laps, and play with your toys. Right now, your favorite toy is a box of plastic shapes with a lid that you can take off. GJ gave it to you! You love to take the top off and dump out all of the shapes. You are also VERY into TV remotes and cell phones.
- Lately, you've been hanging your little tongue out of your lips in a resting position...if that makes any sense. :)
- You're ticklish, especially on the back of your neck and you like to suck on your feet.
- We think you might be a surgeon as you are very good with your hands! You can pick up and grab anything withiin your reach and will make it a point to do so. You pull Mommy's hair like crazy and grab the glasses off our faces with the ultimate death grip.
- You seem to be a very social baby. You stare and smile at other people whenever they're around and you love to watch all the other babies/kids play at Gymboree and at the park.
- You might be the most lovable baby on the planet. We love you Baby Cade!
