Seven Months

November 6, 2017

August is 7 months old!

At 7 months, August:

Weighs/Measures: next update @ 9 month checkup

Teeth: 0

Words: Dada

Loves:

Being sung to
Kissies
Grabbing everything within reach and usually trying to put it in his mouth (hair, faces, toys, blankets, books, clothes, etc)
Laying in bed with mama and dada in the morning
Laughing at sissy’s shenanigans
Screaming, whether happy or sad—he has about 5 different screams depending on mood
Exploring the world around him
Facing forward in the baby carrier so he can see all the sights and action
Interactive baby games such as itsy bitsy spider
Being read to and looking at all the pictures
Flying baby
Ellie wubbanub
Bathtime

Dislikes:

Loud noises (blender, hairdryer, etc)
Getting his nose suctioned
Sore gummies
Getting dressed
Being tired

What’s New:

Says “Dada” (and even sounds like “Hi Dada!” sometimes:)
Rolls/moves around nonstop—you put him down and he’s already clear across the room
Can sit up for about a minute before toppling over
Seeks out objects he wants and moves to reach for and grab it
Has tried a variety of solids the past month: avocado, sweet potato, butternut squash, egg yolk, homemade bone broth, banana (he likes broth and egg yolk the best so far, and just started warming up to butternut and avocado a little more)
Hardly ever falls asleep in his carrier anymore, prefers to explore the world—enjoys facing outward
Really locks in on Buddy, most likely wondering “What IS that?”

Eating: Nurses every 2-4 hours and eats two solid meals per day

Sleep: Goes to bed around 8:30pm and still wakes up twice to nurse before waking up for the day around 8:30am. Takes two naps: a short one around 10:30am lasting about an hour, and the other around 2pm lasting around 2 hours.

Nicknames: Goomy, Goomish, Gooma Goo, Goomeeshee, Baybuh, Babish, Screamy Creamy, Chuuba Wuuba, Wee Wee
