7 Months!

Didn't I just post his 6 month pictures??? Our little man turned 7 months old last week. We took the monthly pictures. Here are a few of them. I tried to choose a variety of expressions - this kid is just full of funny looks!

In case any of my three followers that aren't my parents or sisters might be expecting, or know someone who is, and wish to take a monthly photo to document different stages, things I wish I'd done differently: in hindsight, I wish I had done the following two things with these monthly pictures. 1) Taken all of the pictures in the same place (e.g. his crib, or the papasan chair) rather than just wherever. Part of the inconsistency is the lighting issue though. 2) Taken his picture each month with the same stuffed animal (or other "prop"). My thinking here is that this would show how big he's getting in relation to the same object each month. Oh well, live and learn.

In the past month he's started eating "big boy food" as we call it around here. It started with cereal (see how that went here) and since then we've added prunes, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, peas and pears. Oh, and avocados but I wonder if he has my DNA at all because he did not care for the avocados one bit. Maybe he was having an off day all the times we tried them... We've progressed from eating just a couple of bites a day to eating a full serving of cereal at least once a day plus usually about a half container (small container) of a fruit and a veggie. And let me tell you, he can put the food away when he's in the mood. I expect he'll be moving up on the weight charts at his next visit...

He's also sitting up really well all by himself, and scooting around (not crawling). He's also starting to miss us when we're gone! Each day when Nathan comes home from work we watch for him out the window and it's so fun to watch Milo's face when Nathan gets out of the car - he gets so excited to see his Daddy!

He's getting to be such a big boy!
