Steele Samuel - Seven Months Old

Our chunky monkey is seven months old.

Weight - 

Clothes - Barely fitting into 6-9 month clothes but I just haven't had the motivation to pull out the next size up.  He basically just wears a diaper all day.  Who needs clothes anyway?! 

Smiles with his tongue all the time!

Nicknames - Steele o reel, Steeley boy (This is the boy's nickname for him and they tell me that I'm not allowed to call him that because it's their name.)

Sucks his thumb when he's tired or hungry.  And still needs cuddles often. 

Started pulling up just a couple days after he turned 6 months old.  Now he's let go a few times and stood on his own for a couple seconds. 

For a week or two he would get stuck like this often and get so angry until he finally got out or someone came and helped him. 

Seems  to be our little extrovert and INSISTS on being in the middle of everything.  You better not dare to leave that boy out!

Has started eating real food, avocado was first, and now insists on eating three meals a day!  Seems crazy to me, neither of my other two had to had real food to be full and happy until they were older.  Another reason to just not wear clothes....so messy! 

First time pulling up on the couch!  Then he couldn't figure out how to move his feet and just got stuck and angry!

Just so determined to not be a baby!  Here he is sitting in a real chair, eating real food just like a real person! ;)

Not too sure about that bite!

I found them like this one morning.  Monte had heard Steele wake up, gathered up all the blankets he could find and hopped into Steele's crib. 

Liked baths and then he started sitting up and crawling and now he LOVES baths!! He tries to grab the water coming out of the facet and then seems so confused when it keeps getting away from him. 

Chews on everything!!  The second he picks up something it goes straight into his mouth.  I actually just pulled two old pieces of old tape out of his mouth. 

Hasn't ever eaten any dirt....

Always, always, always has his tongue going!

Loves Tucker's bows!  Sara finally had to just leave them off around him because he was determined to get them every chance he got!  Thankfully Tucker didn't seem to mind.

As soon as he pulled up the first time, we lowered his crib mattress.  No sense having him topple out! 

Much better!

Crawling anywhere and everywhere!  He actually started crawling just a couple days after he turned 6 months old so it's already been about a month.  At first he didn't seem to realize that if he wanted someone or something he had the power to go get them!  He would sit there upset wanting me to hold him but now he crawls over to me and then gets upset and wants me to hold him.  At first he would take these high huge steps with his arms but then barely shuffle his legs along.  He's got it all evened out now.  

Yes I took a picture before rescuing him...
