7 months

7 months - what?? This completely snuck up on me! Usually about a week before your "month birthdays" I start making a little list of all the new accomplishments and developments I want to talk about, but this time I'm going to have to list things off the top of my head!

So! Some things about you at 7 months:

• You've started sucking your thumb again when you get tired. You had only done that for a few weeks when you first learned how and then you stopped, but for some reason now you're doing it again.
• You are figuring out the routines. You don't cry when you get put in the carseat anymore because you know it will be okay, and you get excited when you see the bath water because you know what happens next.
• We started you on solids a couple weeks ago! After sleeping through the night for about 6 weeks you started waking up again several times a night, so we figured you might be hungry and ready for more calories. You've only done rice cereal so far.
• You don't like laying down in the bathtub anymore. You like to sit up and play. If I want to wash your hair I have to force you to lay back for a couple minutes so that I'm not getting soap in your eyes.
• You've had a growth spurt recently! You all of a sudden look so much bigger! Maybe this is because you are eating solids now. Your 3-6 month clothes don't seem big anymore, and some even seem the tiniest bit snug! And no more 0-3 month pants, you are finally grown out of those!
