7 Months

This boy turned 7 months a few days ago!  In some ways the time has flown by, in others as most parents can understand it has felt like every minute of that 7 months.  (I'm talking sleep people, when will we get more sleep???  Sigh.)  Overall August is a really good baby, mellow and funny.  He loves to smile and he got his 2 bottom teeth when he turned 6 months.  To the day, they literally popped out on his 6 month mark.  And now he is working on the top 2.  I'm excited to see his little pumpkin grin when he gets his top front teeth!

(Just surfin' the net chatting with all his baby friends!  ha, ha)

Lately he has been called "Mr. Grabby" since he is constantly trying to reach out and grab anything in his path.  Especially FOOD.  This boy loves food.  Or at least he thinks he does!  He can't really get his hands on much of it yet, but he knows he's going to like it once he can!

His other favorite thing is to wander around in his walker.  (Thank heavens it made it in the moving truck at the last minute, it was almost left behind!)  He is in this thing ALL the time.  He loves it!  (Okay the outfit above it ridiculous, but I had to put it on him at least once, someone gave it to us when Oliver was a baby.)  August can be seen terrorizing the other kids in his walker.  It's hilarious to see him chase them all around.  And the other 2 are really frightened since it does hurt when the walker bumps into you toes or heels.  He's a pretty good navigator in that thing, he can really hustle when he wants too!  

So far August has loved baby food.  I think he has liked it all except green beans.  But honestly they aren't very good pureed so I don't blame him.  I don't think any of our kids liked green beans.  Once he is in the high chair, you better have the food ready because you will hear it until the spoon hits his mouth.  This boy and food are serious.  He will chow down as much as we are willing to give him at one time.  He loves to eat baby food.  

His other feats at this point are rolling over either side and he's getting pretty good with his hands grabbing things.  He is also a chatter box, and one thing is certain, he loves his siblings!

Now if we could only get him to sleep at night without a couple of parental visits that would be great!  Maybe next month!
