Seven Months Old




Seven months old and he's....

not wanting much to do with breast feeding but still doing it

shaking his head no

clapping his hands

developing more and more of a personality

tolerating tummy time much better and 
sometimes even seems to enjoy it 

an amazing jumper in his bouncer - he goes crazy when he's in there!

NOISY!

sleeping through the night but only sleeps until 5am.




He had me working for the pictures this month...

If he wasn't trying to see what Freddie tastes like...

he was practicing his wrestling moves and
flipping him over....

then reminding himself what he tastes like again.

But eventually I got Freddie sitting upright AND
Myles looking at me!

7 month tie

Like I said, he had me working.
I spent too much time trying to get a
good picture with Freddie that by the
time we got to this one, he was
all pictured out.
But you get the idea.
  

No official stats this month -- no doctors appointment until 8 months now.

Hearts & Crafts

Knowing Dan was going to be away for Valentine's Day this year, I decided I'd give Nora time to color and paint a picture to tuck away in his suitcase. What better gift than something your daughter made just for you! (Especially when you're away and missing her!)



All set up and ready to color.


Put her smock on (which used to be
mine -- my mom made it for me in
kindergarten!) so she could also paint.

Working on her masterpiece.

She tried a couple of new holds in her marker.
This one made me chuckle.



Nothing says concentration like the tongue sticking out.
