7 months old

My little baby Ty is 7 months old already!! Well, he's not really such a little baby anymore, he is growing up SO fast! Before vacation I posted that he had to go to the doctor for that allergic reaction and they weighed him and he was 19lbs 3ozs. (Which if you remember if you he had is 6 month check up 10 days prior and he was 18lbs 6ozs...ya he's definitely growing good!!)So I am willing to bet he is 20+ pounds now.


While on vacation, he also decided he would rather sit up all by himself than be on his belly to play. This resulted in one black eye and numerous tumbles over, but by the time we got home, he mastered it! So now he only wants to be sitting up while on the floor. Another thing he learned while on vacation is scooting backwards (on those rare occasions when he actually let us put him on his belly). My mom and I had him in the kitchen on his belly while we were finishing up something in there and he scooted himself in a circle and then backwards to get one of my mom's rugs. We kept moving it and he kept moving to get it!! It was pretty awesome for my mom to witness him scooting for the first time!



In recent days he has become really good at feeding himself little finger foods, like Gerber Puffs and Yogurt Melts and also Cheerios! He would be content for hours just sitting in his high chair feeding himself something! This guy LOVES to eat...give him food and he is happy!! He has also gotten pretty good at the sippy cup thing. He only gets water, but he likes it after those dry Cheerios and puffs. He does a pretty good job of holding the cup himself, but he would prefer if we do the holding! Ty is still loving his solids..he is getting two #2 jars of food a day, usually 1 veggie and 1 fruit. He has tried Turkey mixed with sweet potatoes a couple of times and ate it without a fuss...but he really eats everything without a fuss :D
Sippy cup in one hand, Cheerio in the other!


Since we got back from vacation, he has been taking 2 solid naps a day, a morning and afternoon, for a couple of hours each time! So that has been amazing!! At night he is sleeping from about 8pm to 7:30ish. He is really chatty lately...and has been saying the mama and baba sounds...it's so cute...and he still like to shreek and scream!
