Oliver @ 7 Months

Month 7 already? Oliver is changing every day and has such a fun personality. My friend Caron said the other day that she has never seen a little boy change so much every time she sees him (and she sees him weekly).

At 7 months, he:

• weighs: 17 lbs 11 oz (we know this thanks to an unexpected trip to the doctor for what I thought was pink eye. Thankfully it was just a bad summer cold that had traveled to his eye.)
• is wearing size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes. He is a lot longer and leaner than his brother at this age. He is wearing outfits Owen wore later because he needs to the length. Poor thing has lots of extra room on the sides though.
• is still breastfed and is now eating solids 2x a day. His food repertoire now includes: bananas, apples, avocados, plums, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, and prunes. He loves them all! He has also started to practice with puffs. He can get them in his hand but loses them in his fist.
• finally started sleeping through the night (it only took 2 nights of crying it out); now if we could only get him to sleep later. :)
• had his 1st tooth appear this weekend. He has been drooling non-stop for about a month now; he goes through several bibs a day trying to absorb all that excess saliva.
• is sitting up all by himself. He can also go from the sitting position down to his belly.
• loves water! He loves splashing and kicking in the pool and bathtub. Speaking of the bathtub, he is sitting up by himself in the bathtub with his brother.
• is inchworm crawling (puts his bottom up in the air then down enough times to move)
• is very ticklish and will laugh at any little funny face you make.
• has learned to defend himself against his brother already..pulling his hair is his latest move.
• has moved to the bigger carseat. He was just getting too heavy for the infant carrier and since we already had the seat from Owen, we went ahead a moved him out.
