Before I share his 7 month photos, I wanted to look back through his first six months.
I really can’t get over just how much he’s changed in such a short time. Also? We’re more than halfway through his first year!!
You can tell by the pictures what a happy baby he became after the first three months. I mean, from day one he was incredibly sweet but, since the three month mark, he’s Mr Smiley.
Of course, as I write this, he’s protesting his nap and not smiling at all. But hey, everyone has their bad days. This is him now. He’s clearly tired, but fighting it like crazy…
But, I do have some great pictures from this past month, which better capture his personality:
6.5 months old
two weeks later at exatly 7 mo
Isn’t it amazing how much his balance improved in two weeks? I would never have felt comfortable with him sitting on a stone wall with or without Dylan two weeks ago. Also, doesn’t he look like a little yogi? I’m so proud 😉
As for the milestones:
- he sometimes goes up to 9 hours without waking up at night
- he started sitting up unassisted about a week after he turned 6 months and only started really getting the hang of it over the past couple of weeks
- he’s 18lbs and he’s wearing 9-12 month clothing (I’m pretty sure he’s the size Dylan was at 9 months old)
- he has SIX teeth already and I think he might be getting more with how fussy he’s been
- we’ve started some baby-led weaning and he prefers to feed himself finger foods over letting me spoon feed him
- his favorite foods are:
- bananas
- apples
- chicken
- he’s not a huge fan of (which, interestingly, were Dylan’s favorites!):
- squash
- peas
- mango
- his favorite foods are:
