7 Months

My baby boy is seven months of joy, adventure, giggles, and chub!


- Is pulling up, on EVERYTHING. I never knew how many items in our home are non pull up worthy.
 


- Still gets so proud of himself when he pulls up.   
 

- LOVES the kitty! I heard giggling yesterday, went to investigate, and found this!  I think the kitty wanted the warm fuzzy blanket then couldn't escape the grabby fingers :)



-Always wants your fingers to stand up with.  Has stood alone for a second or two a couple times.

- No teeth yet and I've basically given up... Its seemed like he's been teething off and on for months but none have popped through yet.

- Now naps exclusively in his Rock 'n' Play! It's a life saver because you can strap him in!! Laying him in his crib he would just sit up or pull up and wouldn't ever go to sleep. Now I nurse him, lay him down and he either stays asleep or talks himself to sleep playing with the blanket fringe or his pacifier. 

- He is officially crawling! It was what I was calling the "step and drag" where he would step with one foot then drag his other leg along but as of Sunday he usually crawls on both knees now.  

- Crawling is not an accomplishment to him but merely a means to an end! He just wants to get somewhere he can pull up! That boy wants to be up and going so bad!


- Crawling has opened up a new world of "toys." He sat and opened and shut this stool lid for over five minutes the other day.

- Cruises the furniture (he started out by the blanket) but has yet to "bridge the gap" so to speak between furniture. 

-Still has the best grin and is very expressive!

-LOVES keys!

-Like I said, pulling up on everything!

- Went to his last football game of the year....Now on to basketball!!

- "Talks" a lot but hasn't said an official first word that I know of yet...

- Does not like wearing hats of any kind and always immediately pulls them off.

- Learning to crawl and stand has been rather hazardous work and he pretty much daily gets a new bump on his head!

- Loves to be read to! 

- Oh those eyebrows!

- Loves looking at himself in mirrors!

- Still likes the frog but usually would much rather be on the ground so he can move around.  I still put him outside at least once a day but he usually doesn't last as long as he used to.


- So proud of himself!


- Loves the outdoors!

- Has started eating solid foods more regularly now.  I've done egg yolks cooked in chicken broth, cooked carrots also in chicken broth, applesauce (his favorite), and sometimes banana or avocado. He also drinks water now sometimes.


- Wearing sizes 9 and 12 months. 

- Naps much more regularly and consistently now! Goes down between 9-10 and again between 1-2 and then sometimes takes a late afternoon nap sometimes not.  Bedtime is between 7-8 although usually we're fighting to make it til 7.  Depends on if he had that late nap or not.

6 months

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a 6 month old in the Sullenger household!

 - Weight: Not sure...21lbs about... Heavy!
- Wears 9-12 month clothes.  His thighs are so big that a few pieces that fit him fine or even big everywhere else are too small to snap around his thighs!
- Is a good little football fan now! Apparently his aversion for loud crowd noises was short lived thankfully!
- He's started playing with his ear when he's sleepy.
- Is attempting to pull up already!  He pulled to his feet from sitting one time with Uncle J and he pulls up to his knees all the time.

- Has very expressive eyebrows!!

- Sleep is still hit or miss.... lately more of a miss but I'm thinking he's to the point where he's so distracted during the day he doesn't want to eat and then is making up for it at night so hopefully I can work on fixing that!

- Has great "just woke up" faces!



- Chews on anything and everything!

- Has tried avocado and banana for the first time.  He seemed to sorta like it, sorta not like it, and gag a lot!

- He liked chewing on the spoon the most!

- Is super close to crawling! He gets around everywhere without crawling but he does a lot of rocking too!
 

- Loves his kitty! They play together...

- Did NOT like the homecoming parade noises!  Firetruck sirens are scary apparently!

- "Talks" ALL the time!
- Combed his hair for the first time... so cute!

- LOVES outside!! Since the weather is nice now, I just put him on the back porch in his frog for like an hour!  I leave the french doors open and can see him through the window if I'm in the kitchen washing dishes or whatever.  He loves watching the dogs!

 

- Loves "chewing" on carrots

- Is looking like such a little boy.... slow down baby boy!


- Has worn his first pair of boots and first hat.


- This pic was at 4 am.... :(


- Got to try a walker at Annie and Granddad's house.  He seemed to like it!

- LOVES sucking on apple pieces! 


- Got to meet his Sullenger extended family for the first time! and I just realized I got no pictures of any of it :( 
- Has a great laugh/giggle!

Aunt Sara decided to feed him a lime at Rosas the other day!  She just offered and he kept going for it! VERY entertaining!



- Had fun at Gran-Molly and Pick-ups yesterday!


- Went to his first two basketball games! I think unlike football games he can actually see the players and was fascinated watching the actual game!  He really wanted J's ball after the game too!




Here's his first time trying avocado!
