7 Months Old!

Johnson is now 7 months!  How does this keep happening?!  This month he has grown up so much!  His laugh has changed from a giggle to a loud belly laugh.  His favorite thing to laugh at is his reflection.  It makes him smile no matter what!  He loves to feed himself puffs and his favorite purees are sweet potato and applesauce!




One of my favorite things about him right now is feeding him bottles.  I love the way he puts his hand on my hand or on my face while he eats.  I also love how when I smile at him he stops drinking and gives me a big grin!  He also loves Eskimo Kisses and will stop to giggle if I give him some.  It is my the sweetest time of day for us.  Every night I give him a bottle and then we snuggle on the couch till he falls asleep.

He still isn't sleeping in his own bed.  I am at a loss as to what to do about that.  He wakes up immediately when I put him in his Pack and Play.  I don't get it.  Hopefully I can figure that out soon (though I do love snuggling him all night).  He is still waking up at least 2 times in the night to eat.

Crawling is coming along slowly but surely.  He can easily get up onto his hands and knees, but instead of moving his knees forward he just lunges and falls back down.  Every once in a while he'll take a few scoots forward in a normal crawl but mostly he gets around by rolling and lunging.  He also LOVES to stand and wants me to hold him up all the time!

He is SO active these days!  Standing, jumping, rolling, tugging, back arching, you name it!  It is exhausting but so fun!  He is also putting EVERYTHING in his mouth.  I am constantly pulling things out of his throat that he finds on the floor at our house or my moms.  I guess I will need to start vacuuming daily!  I've pulled out wrappers, pieces of carpet, hairballs, plastic price tag things.  AGH!

Anyway, Johnson is THE BEST.  We love him more than words!  Hopefully time will start slowing down a little!
