Our Tyler is growing so fast! We are almost looking at 8 months already, so I thought I should give a 6-7 month update before it got to be too late on our Half Birthday achievements. Who knows, I might need to reference this just for myself as I am getting behind on writing in his Baby Book.
seven months: 18 lbs, 8 oz. 25 inches tall.
- still loves to play all things with his sissys
- fisher price "crawl around car" is his favorite toy
- baths are most exciting
- cooing and singing are his alarm clock sounds for mommy in the morning
- growing hair at snails pace
- started first foods at 6 months
- prefers 'baby led weaning' over baby food
- loves bananas
- but is really a food thief (cats not excluded here)
- crawling at record speeds
- climbing, pulling up, standing & walking along side of tables, chairs, cabinets, everything
- making all kinds of new sounds (mmmm, da da da, bu uh)
- pressing lips and making puckering noises
- conquered RSV
- flaps arms when happiest
- showing first signs of being bashful
- teeth have yet to make an appearance
- still wakes mommy at 4am insisting a diaper change
- hates head rubs
- shows hurt feelings when his sisters take their toys away from him
- and cries in anger when it's food
- recognizes his name and understands the "come here" command
- will soon think his sisters named him, "No No I-ler"
- ticklish, ticklish, ticklish
- "peek-a-BOO" makes for good belly laughs
- little fat rolls can even be found under his armpits
- plays with his trucks on the kitchen floor like a big boy
- pulls hair and pinches cheeks
- makes fake cough noises and laughs
- can holler and squeal as loud as the girls
- acts like he is playing the bongos on all flat surfaces
- is a baby filled with smiles & joy
Recent Funny Story:
Tyler gets lots of hugs and kisses from his big sisters. Bedtime ones are usually the sweetest, but sometimes they are a little overwhelming with it. As one of my recent Facebook posts included:
"Goodnight Kisses to brother tonight involved applesauce lips and trying to stick carrot sticks in his eyes. Yep."
Anna has recently started long tackle hugs to the floor where Tyler gets agitated because he can't free himself. He gets angry and starts to cry when she does not release. At the sounds of my protesting, she takes it upon herself to spank him and points to me as if to let him know he is getting spanked by her on behalf of Mommy for refusing her hugs. Poor Tyler, I can't help but find the last part a bit hilarious.
On a precious side note of all the hugs, Tyler has already mastered putting his arm around my neck in endearment. :)
