7 Months!

Our little love...7 months old on Valentine's Day!!

 

Weight: 17lbs 10oz (30%)

 

Eating: What a fun month this has been...Nathan is eating solids now!! We have tried sweet potatoes (yum!), peas (so, so), bananas (intolerance), apples (yum!), carrots (yum!) and white potatoes (yuck!). He now gets 3 meals a day along with his bottle (which intake as stabilized around 20oz). The not so fun part is he still has bad reflux which makes for interesting colored spit up. He is also starting to throw up quite a bit. The pediatrician increased his Prevacid and if that doesn't work over then we will be going back to the GI.

 

Sleeping: No complaints this month! He continues to sleep through the night. He is now a tummy sleeper and instantly rolls to his tummy when laid in the crib. Some days he doesn't want to take a nap, but will play in his crib until someone gets him up.

 

Playing: Loving watching Nathan explore his surroundings!! He rolls all over the place and scoots backwards even though he wants to go forwards ;-) He chews on everything...including the edges of the playmat so we have started working on the word "no". Is easily entertained by the carpet...must be a texture thing.

7 Month Memories:
- 1st time attending childcare at MOPs...a big adjustment, but we are working on it!
- started having separation anxiety...even when you are in view of him, but just too far away he screams!
- loves to communicate by blowing raspberries!
- James was TDY for a week and I think Nathan noticed a change in routine and missed his daddy.
- became a belly sleeper
- had an eye exam...is farsighted and has a slight stigmatism, both of which may correct themselves over time.
- has learned to put his feet in his mouth...then laughs!
-rolls from back to tummy and tummy to back on a regular basis and no long cries when he is on his tummy.
- Nathan was born 75% tongue tied and had it clipped...did great, pretty much stayed on his normal schedule!!
- has learned how to throw mini-fits when he is told "no"...mainly when he puts something in his mouth that he is not supposed to...my hair, necklace, playmat edges, etc.
- his hair is growing long and laying over his ears, plus the top by his forehead is really starting to show an awful cowlick :-/
- sucks his thumb ALL the time.
- still teething, but no teeth...doesn't get the symptoms as often as he used to.

Denver Broncos made it to the Super Bowl, but lost.

1st attempt at solids...more on the face than in the mouth!

Never to soon to sort colors!

On a roll!
