Grayson: 7 months

A few days late, but better than never! :)

Weight/length:

No doctor's appointment this month, but I would guess Gray is closer to 20 pounds and a little over 28 inches. He is still wearing size 3 diapers and we've recently started putting him in night time diapers for bed when double diapering didn't stop leaks. I am about to put away all of his 6 month clothes and we are almost completely in 9 month clothes. He has been doing great with his sippy cup and  eating solids. Some new favorites this month are sweet potatoes, pears, and strawberry yogurt! We've attempted puffs (broken into pieces) but I'm still nervous about choking, so I haven't pushed it. Grayson has also mastered eating food from a pouch, which is AWESOME, especially when we are on the go or we aren't wanting to fool around with a spoon and bowl. He knows how to hold it and he sucks down the food, no problem!

Sleep:

Still sleeping and napping great! Naps around 9 and 1:30 for about an hour- an hour and a half each; bedtime between 6:30-7 and sleeping until 6-6:30. We've had the occasional early wake-up calls with Grayson trying to practice crawling in his bed, which has led to some whining, but overall. nothing terrible and everyone is still getting plenty of rest. Wahoo!

Likes:

Grayson loves sweet potatoes, sprouts pouches, his jumperoo, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, making silly faces, itsy bitsy spider, peek-a-boo, and playing on mom and dad's bed 

Dislikes:

Grayson hates the being tired, being in his carseat too long, being hungry, and shopping (sad mommy)

Milestones:

This past month, Grayson had his first weekend getaway with our group of friends. We had a great time and he did fabulous sleeping in our room in his pack-n-play (for the first time since he was a newborn!).

All this kid wants to do is crawl. He is trying SO hard but hasn't figured it out yet. I think he will be mobile any week now. He is still drooling and teething like crazy, but not a tooth in site. I used to be sure that those bottom teeth were going to pop through any day, but now I am not as sure.  Every diaper change is a wrestling match, as he is way too busy wanting to log roll away as soon as his pants are off--haha! Grayson LOVES to laugh and loves to be tickled. He gets super silly with his daddy and it makes my heart melt. 

He is such a mess and we love him to pieces!
