Monday was lil' Will's 7 month birthday. I, quite literally, can't believe I have a 7 month old child. Time just slips away so quickly. I've been loving every minute of it.
He's getting to be a better and better sleeper. I'm still up about once a night with him, but never for too long.
He still hasn't gotten any teeth, but we've introduced lots of new foods to him and he [pretty much] likes everything. Since we last talked, he's added avocado, beef, chicken, ham, pineapple, yogurt, butternut squash, broccoli, green beans, carrots, turkey (not a fan), and little puffs (banana and mango flavored) to his menu. He can hold his own bottle and likes to grab the spoon while he eats sometimes, but he's not a self-feeder yet.
He's a good little sitter. He can't get himself into (or out of) the sitting position, but once he's there, he's happy. He's also getting to be quite a mover. He can't crawl (on his belly) yet, but he scoots around on his back (pushes with his legs and travels around on the back of his head) and rolls and pivots on his belly. Last night he was all over his room - from one end to the other.
He likes to chat. This morning when I woke up, I could hear him babbling to himself. So, I went into his room and he had turned on his mobile and was talking to it and grinning like a mad man. It was fantastic.
Watch the following video if you are looking for a reason to smile today.
He's got the babas and the mamas and sometimes even a dada down pretty well. My favorite is when he will sometimes just shout mom! He doesn't know what he's saying, but it makes me so happy.
We've got a business trip at the end of the month - and both Will and I are very excited to see Grandma G when she comes to nanny him for a few days.
Hard to believe he'll be almost 8 months by then. Hopefully, for Grandma's sake, he's not really crawling by then, or she'll have her work cut out for her.
We love you, Will.
We love you Will to the second power!
