7 Months!

Can you believe it's already been seven  8 months?  I can't!!  

At 7 months Aiden:  

  • Sits up on his own.  
  • Likes to eat most foods.  Still not convinced about green vegetables.  
  • Has started waking up again in the night.  *sighs* it was a nice 10 days.  haha
  • Wakes up around 1 or 3 for a snack.  Then at 5 or 6 for the day.   Sometimes I can get him to go back to sleep.  Sometimes, not. 
  • Chews on everything.  Even though we still have ZERO teeth.  
  • Drools on everything.  
  • Likes to latch on to noses and suck.  
  • Gives Mommy kisses.  Daddy...not so much.  
  • Gives really good, strong hugs.  
  • C.L.I.N.G.Y!
  • Eats 3 solids a day.  
  • Still loving 'his' milk.  
  • Will go to sleep at night without a fight (most nights).  i.e. - Doesn't scream for hours on end (ok maybe not hours). 
  • ONLY wants Mommy when he wakes up in the night.  In the words of Honest Toddler - "When I specifically cried out for you, Mommy, did I stutter?   Because you sent in Daddy.  Weird."  
  • Likes following us around in his walker.  Gets soooooo excited that he can!  
  • Likes going for "drives" in his stroller. 
  • Loves to be naked!  Related:  Loves to pee on things (other than his diaper).  
  • Had his first real cold.  He kept me out of work for a week!  (good job, baby.)
  • Loves his mum mums and baby cookies.  
  • Loves getting tickles from Daddy.  
  • Loves to laugh.   And fuss.  
  • Reaches for me when he sees me!  *heart melts*
  • Starting to crawl.  He will scooch on his belly to get around.  




Sitting up on my own!

See!

Sick baby bed head.  (Yes, that's Harry Potter on in the background.  We do sick days right!) 
Let me tell ya 'bout my Best Friend!  Well...Aiden thinks Murph loves him...
Really he's quite afraid of the baby monster.  

Sick days mean naps in the Big Bed!  

Good Foot!  Taking a page out of Uncle Jason's book.  

Now that's a baby with good taste! 
Showing off... 

Big Boy Car Seat!

Telling a good story at his first time in a big boy restaurant high chair.  

E-TRADE BABY!!  I wanna show you something ...It's my shocked face.

Sleepy Boy! 

All is right in the world as long as I'm touching Mommy.  

Playing with blocks is srs business   

This baby has skills

Ten

Holding on ten.  Ten nights of sleeping through the night, that is.

In the meantime...


My heart is full.   Even if my brain is tired.










Words of Wisdom


We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some are broken, some are whole, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all learn to live in the same box.
