7 Months Old

It is difficult to wrap our minds around the fact that our sweet little one is already 7 months old!!  It has been such a sweet couple months with him learning so many new things and showing his little personality as he gains the ability to move and communicate better with us.  He laughs and smiles much more frequently, but has also learned to grunt and yell on the other end of the spectrum.  Sometimes he yells just to make noise and other times he yells in protest.  He also makes distinct sounds like "g's," "m's" and "d's."  

He still does not move around of his own volition, but is starting to get frustrated when he's on his stomach and can't move towards something when he wants to.  The doctor says that he is definitely strong enough to crawl, scoot, stand, etc but gaining the right coordination or simply realizing that he can move, has yet to propel our little one forward.    He has grown in his ability to grab and hold onto things.  He especially likes to grab hats, glasses, jewelry and doggie ears.

  

He wavers on sleeping through the night and his willingness to eat solid food, but we know those things will consistently come with time.  We are just so very thankful that our little fellow is almost always in good spirits!!
