7 Months

{March 28th}

Is a seasoned roller now.

(both back to tummy and vice versa)

Has started to throw fits... especially when we put him in his car seat.  He instantly arches his back, screams, and breaks out the pathetic face/crying.  It usually only lasts for a few seconds until we can distract him.

Still sleeping great through the night. 

Goes down around 7/7:30 at night, wakes up around 6/6:30 in the morning.
He used to go down really easy but has also started throwing a fit at bedtime too.  We take a bath, read a book and then he used to lay down and let me rock him right to sleep.  Now, as soon as I turn him around to lay down on my shoulder, he acrches his back and starts crying.  It usually only lasts a few seconds but still becoming a pain.

Usually only takes 2 decent naps.

If we're lucky, we'll get a quick 3rd one in in the afternoon.

Starts daycare next week! 

We have loved having Ellie watch him and I know he'll miss hanging out with his buddy, Lexi.  Hopefully he'll love all the new friends at daycare. 

Has started to sit up on his own.

If you hold him standing on your lap, will try to jump over and over...as long as you'll let him.
Or  he'll just sit down and start playing with/pulling at your necklace/buttons/etc.

Loves mirrors.

Loves books.

He immediately calms down and sits there calmly, touching the pages, as long as you're reading to him.

Still drooling and chewing like crazy, but no sign of teeth yet.

Loves solid foods!  Has liked everything we've given him... except plain rice cereal.

Has started to show an opinion.  He'll push you back or swat at your hand if he doesn't want you in his face, pushes his bottle away when he's done or doesn't want more, etc.
