Jason's 7th Month

I wish I could hit a "pause" button to soak up my sweet baby a little longer - he's getting so big! Time is going too fast.

- it's official: his hair is definitely going to be red
- he's finally laughing
- he babbles constantly "dadadadada...babababa...bda...bda...bda"
- still no teeth
- blows raspberries
- he sucks on top and bottom lip
- he's eating cereal with mix-ins at breakfast and dinner (bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, gren beans, avocado and peas, so far)
- moved him into the pack 'n' play in the playroom at night so he and Ryan don't wake each other up at 5:30am - both are sleeping so much better
- often wakes up talking and cooing, rarely crying
- consistently takes two long naps and one short nap (long in the morning for sure, the other is usually late afternoon dinner)
- he waves (at himself, because that's how he sees us wave)
- lights up in a huge smile when you sing to him
- very self entertained in the exersaucer
- loves the Baby Mozart movie
- rolls to tummy and back; just back and forth, not willingly around the room yet
- holds his own bottle

- practically burps himself
- still rarely spits up
- started sitting in restaurant high chairs this week instead of in his infact carrier
- can sit up in a tri-pod for short periods of time (or in a Boppy to keep him from crashing to the ground)
- has regular dirty diapers 4-6 times a week now instead of once a week. (Is that TMI? Sorry - I need it recorded for his scrapbook so he can be embarrassed in 20 years...) It's probably the solids he's eating now.
- still loves baths; takes them with Kaylin sometimes in his bath seat (I can't wait to get him in the pool!)
