7 Months


I just can't help doing another month update of the little guy because it seems like he is always doing new things now-a-days, and I use this blog for journaling about my kids.  So here it goes!

At 7 months, Baron....

*Army crawls really good and really fast.  He is into everything and has been found eating the rocks out of our fireplace on multiple occasions!  We have since tried to remove as many of them as we can.
*Can sit back up on his own after crawling.  This is exciting for him, but also means he can reach higher things on his own.
*Has been getting on his hands and knees a lot lately rocking back and forth attempting to crawl the normal way
*Eats more food than the average 4 year old- he loves any baby food you give him including the nasty ones like peas and green beans- really all he cares is that it is edible and that you keep feeding him quickly or else he starts pounding on his high chair tray.  He also loves graham crackers, kix, cheerios and pizza crust.
*Still smiles and flirts with everyone. 
*Has recently moved up to size 12-18 month clothes, but is still the cutest chubby baby ever
*Just yesterday crawled up to the stairs and stood up on the landing by putting his hands on the 2nd step...  it was the first time he has pulled himself up to standing and stayed on his feet for few minutes without falling!
*Goes to bed at 7:30pm and doesn't wake up til after 6am most nights! We LOVE it! Especially when Jackson goes to bed by 8... it is so relaxing and nice for John & I to have so much time to wind down and spend together without kids! 
 
Bear sure is lots of fun to have around! 


*Bear has also been starting to splash a lot in the bath, so him and Jackson usually just splash like crazy together while Bear giggles and anyone that attempts to get close gets soaked. 

*And, he still thinks his brother is the most hilarious person ever

I just read to Adam all the things that Bear can do and pointed out that he's only 4 days older than Claire. Adam said "well, I guess it's going to be a busy 4 days for us." I don't think she could catch up to Bear in 4 weeks, let alone 4 days! It's amazing how different all babies are from one another. My sister's little girl turned 1 year in May, and she still wears 6-9 month clothing! Your boys are cute, and it made me laugh to watch them splash each other in the bath.

Sheesh! I can't believe how long it's been since I commented on your blog. I've been bad... too busy with Girls Camp and then Sean gone with the YM campout adventure. I even ready this one way back when and now Baron's another month older. Oh bother! I miss you guys - we were seeing each other like once a month for a while at the beginning of the year. Sad. We'll have to come visit once you're settled in your new place.
Oh yeah, Ethan and I loved watching the videos. :)
