seven months [truett]

A few days late but here we are! Seven months baby. 

Weight/Height: He was 21lbs at his 6 month check up so I would guess he's about 22lbs now and around 28". 

Clothes: All 12 month clothes but his sleepers are getting a little snug so sometimes we put him in 12-18 mo. 

Sleep: I've been working on weaning him from his 2am feeding the last few days so we shall see how that goes. But really he wakes once or twice per night still. Which I'm okay with for now. 

Feeding: nursing and two "meals" a day. He has some banana for breakfast and then a veggie with some puffs for dinner. He really likes to feed himself so we aren't doing too many puréed foods right now, mostly finger foods. He is so independent these days!

Likes: He is such a wild man! He loves to climb on everything and see what kind of mischief he can get himself into. He likes to stand and then try to let go but he isn't quite coordinated enough to do so. Poor guy got his mamas coordination with his daddy's fearlessness. What a combo!

Dislikes: Nap time. What fun. 

Milestones: He is crawling and standing with support. He tries to let go but falls. He has a total of four teeth now with 2 more top teeth coming in and I might have spotted another on the bottom working its way through too. He also has had 2 boo-boos this month. He is quite the brut and ran straight into a chair leg, barely cried, but got a little scratch on his eyebrow. The next day he banged his tooth into his favorite toy! This guy! Such a handful I tell ya. 

Events: first thanksgiving! He actually did really well with all the hoopla that day. We were, as usual, all over the place and he did great. He had a nice long nap midday and trooped through dinner. 

We got our Christmas tree this past week too and that was so much fun to do with him. He loves it! And even though we are still working on the whole "no touch" deal, he has actually done really well with it. 

And a quick mama update:

Weight Loss: Down about 5lb since last month. Progress is progress. Right? ...

Other Changes: I quit dairy again in hopes of helping with his eczema and it seems to help. Which is good for him but sad for me. I miss you cheese!
