D: 7 Months

For some reason unbeknownst to me you seeming to be aging much faster than I would like. You are also getting to be a real little big boy!


Yes, you read that correctly, D is crawling. He does this one leg down one leg drag maneuver and it is amazing and quite effective. Along with the crawling is the pulling up to stand. Maddie and I have been going around and adding extra padding on some corners and the tv table. He manages to bonk his head all the time anyways – usually on the floor from trying to “get down.”
So gone are the baby toys and out come some of the big kid play ones. I have put the exersaucer and jumper downstairs – he just doesn't want to be stationary. This makes me a little sad but at the same time soooo happy to have those huge things away. Now we have the piano and play table he pulls up on.

You are still taking two great naps during the day, 9-11 and 2-5. You usually tire and are ready for bed around 7:30 and sleep til/are chatting and waiting for us at 6:30. All this movin really wears you out!

In terms of eating – well you like everything! You eat three times a day and we have you down to three bottles a day too. One before breakfast and then one after lunch/before nap and the other before bed. Usually about 7oz in each. You love to eat crackers too. Haven't mastered the feeding yourself puffs yet but you love to eat them.

You are one happy little man. You are so smiley – that’s the first thing people always say too – is he always so smiley? You are! And you giggle all the time too at the funniest things – a pretend sneeze, peekaboo, someone else laughing, its so cute.

You are still wearing size 3 diapers (although you could probably do a 4) and wearing 12 month clothes. Clothes just depend on whether they are too tight in the legs – sorry buddy – which in turn cause the snaps in the crotch to bust, ha!

Oh, and super important, you say “mamamama”!!! You did say Dada before we headed up to Boston but now you just babble mama a lot, smart man!
