Our Little Man is 7 Months Old!

David,

You are turning into such a sweet, little man! You love to snuggle with Mommy when you're sleepy, but when you're not, watch out world - you're on the go! You are a very chill baby and just go with the flow with whatever we do. It's been amazing seeing the similarities and differences from you and your big sister, whom you absolutely adore! I think she's you're favorite person - you could sit and smile at her all day long. It's so sweet and melts this mommy's heart.

I can't believe you're closer to a year old than my newborn now. David, you're growing and changing in new ways each and every day. Mommy and Daddy truly are enjoying every moment as you get bigger. We love you very much and can't wait to see how you develop in this next month.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy



Weight: 16.5 lbs by my scale

Length: Somewhere between 28-29 inches (which means you grew about 2ish inches in the last month... talk about growth spurt!)

Diaper size: Size 3

Teeth: Still just two!

Clothes size: 9 months, 6-9 months, and even some 12 months!

Sleep: We dropped the dream feed this month, and you wake up anytime between 4:45-7 to nurse. If it's earlier than 6:30, I try to put you back down, but most days you're not having that. So I just bring you to our bed and you play between Mommy and Daddy until Daddy has to get up for work and Mommy is ready to start her day


Favorite activities/things: Rolling over, sitting up, jumping in the jumper, watching Elizabeth, chewing on your hands or any toy, eating anything I feed you!

Eating: You nurse every 3-4 hours during the day! You also are already eating 3 meals a day! You start your day nursing around 6, eat breakfast around 7:30, nurse around 10, lunch between 11:30-12, nurse again around 1, nurse at 4, eat between 5:00-5:30, nurse at 6:45-7:15. You can not get enough "big people" food, too! I still have no idea where you're putting everything, because you typically eat between 8-12 ounces with EACH meal! You've got the best appetite and I love watching you eat. 

Nicknames: Little Man, Bubba, Buddy

Talking: You've become quite the talkative little man! You love making noise, and we love to hear it!

New adventures: You got to swim for the first time and loved it!

New Skills: You're slowly inching towards toys, but not quite crawling yet (this happened towards the very end of the month). You can sit up very well and definitely roll where you want to be
