7 Months Old!
Posted by Andrew & Jessica on Monday Jun 23, 2008 Under Andrew
Time is flying. Drew is 7 months old now.
17lbs 10.5 oz, and 25.5 inches short (hehe)…
His new tricks in his 6th month were standing by couches and holding on to toys while standing. He even pulled himself up to a stand a few times, had fun doing that on ME’s bed and jumping up and down on it. We’re trying to get rid of the "on tippy toe" thing he’s been doing.
He’s not full blown crawling yet, but he’s doing an inch worm type of crawl instead. He can get on all fours but ends up goin down and pushing off of his feet. He’s not on the floor a whole lot- he wants to sit or stand… ME was just like that.
He has become quite the piglet – eating everything like you were starving him for days on end. And so far there’s nothing he won’t eat- even the green veggies!
Drew is playing more with toys, very interactive, and yet pulling and grabbing everything in sight. Then of course chewing on everything… and drooling too… STILL NO TEETH though- just a bit of swollen gums.
He has been babbling a lot and saying "dadada" yea… I think dada will be his first word. Who cares- it’s cute! Along with the babbling is screaming. He loves to scream- like not just when he’s upset- but when he’s excited or happy too. Screaming so loud!!! It’s funny… but NOT at 7am!
He’s adorable, cuddly and loveable though. Really a good baby and sleeps very well. Pretty much from 7:30pm to 5:00am then nurses in his sleep and stays asleep til 6:30-7:30 depending on the day. He’s in his own routine and does well with it.
Drew has a little bit more hair… it’s growing ever so slowly. I didn’t have much hair as a baby either. Unlike ME and her daddy who had so much dark thick hair!! His hair is also getting blonder… hard to tell in pictures, but you can really see how light it is getting in person.
He still adores his sister even though she sits on him, takes all of his toys and hugs him just a bit too tight – hahaha. It’s OK – he gets her back when he pulls her hair!!!
He loves everyone- and so far does really well with other people… but our house is like a train station- so my kids get used to many different faces a lot. 😉
IN OTHER NEWS- we got a new family vehicle… definitely a FAMILY vehicle. Yep a mommy van… argh- I was fighting getting it… but with gas prices a big SUV was out of the question. Oh well… it’s very nice… Town & Country Mini Van- nearly new at 1 yrs old with 12,000+ miles.
We are soon going to work out the details of ME’s next procedure, will keep everyone posted… 🙂
