7 Months

Dear Henry,

Seven months... and counting.  Not too much has changed in the last month.  You're now eating three solid meals a day.  We've added fruits and yogurt into the mix and you LOVE them.  I was playing with your feeding schedule for a few weeks trying to figure out the best way.  Here's a general routine of your day...

6:30 Wake Up
7:00 6 oz bottle
8:00 Oatmeal & fruit
9:00 Morning nap (1 1/2 hours)
11:00 6 oz bottle
12:00 Fruit/veggie, or yogurt
1:00 Afternoon Nap (1 1/2 hours)
3:00 6 oz bottle
5:30 Veggies
8:00 Bath & 7 oz bottle (tank you up before a full night of sleep)
8:30 Bed

Your personality is emerging more and more every day.  For the most part, you're our happy little guy.  You talk, screech and grunt ALL DAY LONG!!!  You say "MAMA" AND "BABA" over and over.  You really like playing with your little toys, such as your stacking cups and blocks, because you're getting better with your hands and like holding onto things.  You've become quite the snuggle bunny,  which I love, especially when I'm feeding you your last bottle before bed. You are obsessed with soft things...rubbing your bunny, doggie and blankie comforts you and gets you to sleep.  All three are with you in your crib for naptime and bedtime.  It's so sweet to see you surrounded by them.  You still wake up so happy; you gurgle and coo while you wait for daddy or me to come get you out of your crib.  When we walk in, you look up at us and give us a huge grin.  It's neat that you "know" things now...putting you in your seat = food, sound of microwave beep = food is ready, unbuckling carseat = arms out/lean forward, shirt over head = arms through arm holes, seeing lovies = sleepytime, etc.  You aren't crawling yet, and you don't seem terribly interested in it since you can roll, pivot and scoot/army crawl your way around. I'm ok with it too....I want you to stay my little baby as long as possible.

We love you like crazy!

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

P.S.
It is getting difficult to do your monthly photo shoots...you wont stay still for more than a second.  If  we don't snap the camera in time you end up like this....
