7 Months Old

Andrew turned 7 months on Saturday. Of course we had a big day and family weekend planned for his baptism so turning 7 months has been much better than turning 6 months. Andrew had 2 teeth and a virus during the first week of 6 months so he didn't feel well. I still remember those nights. However we have come so very far from last month. Here are a few facts about our sweet baby boy.

* He had his 1st baby sitter Tuesday night. I asked a graduate student from USM that I used to advice to be his baby sitter. She also works at his day care so I felt VERY confident with leaving him with her. In fact I know her quite well so it worked out perfectly.

* He is spinning and trying to figure out how to crawl. He still gets frustrated with not being able to do it.

* He still loves his momma :) I really like this one.

* He is eating solid foods three times a day. He has a snack in the morning and in the afternoons. When we get home from daycare we have dinner. So far he loves everything we give him. His face is priceless for the first bite and then he gets into it. We haven't given him fruit yet b/c everyone told me to start with veggies so that is what we are doing. He has eaten peas, green beans, squash and carrots. We have also transitioned to oatmeal from rice cereal.

* We have lowered his crib

* He is still a great sleeper

* He quit saying dada. He still tries to put consonants together but no words

Here are some pictures from his 7 month "photo shoot". The sign didn't work well this month so I am going to have to do something different next month.
