Liam, you turned 7 months old on the last day of our vacation with the Wrights at Holden Beach! This month has been so much fun with lots of activity, travel, and family time. You are a growing boy and we are loving getting to see your personality continue to come out!
:: Feeding ::
Since you are a little bubby nugget, I decided to go back to nursing every 3 hours instead of spacing feedings out this month. I thought this was going to be super overwhelming for me to have to go back to this schedule plus the 3 solid meals a day, but I have been surprised at how easy it has been. It also feels totally different than when you were a newborn, maybe I'm just used to it, but I think it has something to do with a thankful heart for the fact that I am still able to nurse you and watch you grow into a healthy, content, busy little boy.
You are still loving pretty much every solid food we throw your way. Some new ones have been sweet peas, carrots, mangos, pears, and a little bit of chicken! To help with the plumping up even more, I have started to add a little bit of formula and oatmeal cereal to some of your solid meals, which you have done great with.
:: Sleeping ::
We have hit our stride this month with sleeping. You are doing so well at night and by the end of this month you were regularly sleeping from about 7:30pm to 7:00am. Naps have also continued to improve and the first 2 of the day are consistently about an hour and the third is about 45 minutes. We're getting the hang of this!
:: Fun Things ::
-The day that you turned 7 months old, we discovered your first tooth with the second already poking through!
-You are definitely only wanting to play while sitting up all by yourself now. You're not content just to play laying on your back or tummy anymore!
-You are so close to crawling, you can get up on your hands and knees and rock back and forth.
-You still love your excersaucer and have started to flat out run in circles in that thing.
-Separation anxiety is still a hard thing, you have a really hard time with strangers and most of the time won't even go to anyone but me and your Dad. BUT we've noticed that when you're around people for a few days consistently, you start to warm up. It's totally opposite with other babies and kids....you LOVE them immediately :).
-You are an outdoor boy! If you are fussy or bored, all you need is to step outside. You love going on walks, playing in the yard, or just walking around looking at the trees and the birds.
-This month was the first time you ever spent the night away from me! Zuzu, Big Jim, and Aunt CaCa kept you for 2 nights while I hosted Aunt Laney’s bachelorette weekend.
