At 7 months:
You weigh about 16 lbs and continue to stay "long and lean". Your arms are so long, you can grab things from a mile away. Sometimes we hold you on our lap while we eat, and push our plate far away so you can't reach it, but those arms always seem to stretch farther than we expect!
You wear 9-12 month clothes still. Still wearing mostly pjs bc I think you look so cozy in them! :) plus I like that your feet are covered.
You now can sit up independently! You can sit up for quite a while now and won't fall over unless you see something you want out of your reach. I learned that I still can't sit you up on a rug on a tile floor bc when you tip over, you always bang your head on the actual tile because of your length.
You have started to prefer to be on your stomach while playing because you are able to "move around". You don't crawl yet, but somehow you're able to get to the toys out of your reach.
You nurse about 6x per day. About every 3 hours. I love cuddling with you while nursing. You've stopped violently kicking me in the stomach, so it's a lot more pleasant.
You still take mostly 45 min naps, althoigh your morning nap will sometimes be 1.5 hrs. You get tired every 2 hours. I'm frustrated with your short naps and ready for you to start extending them.
You now sleep through the night from about 6:30-6:30. Knock on wood...every time I say you're sleeping through the night, you start waking up again.
Your favorite toy is Sophie the Giraffe.
You like it when we sing to you.
You love your sister and laugh at her, but you've started to cry when she snatches toys out of your hands (which happens a lot).
You eat baby food 2x per day, and prefer fruits. We've also tried a little egg and peanut butter (just a taste) because people are now saying to introduce allergenic foods early (which was the complete opposite of what they were saying last year...sigh).
Still no teeth!
You are so easy-going, and hardly cry unless you're tired. You go to sleep for naps and night easily now.
You've started to look for me more for comfort when you're sitting on the floor. Sometimes when I put you down, you cry because you want to stay with me. This is new. When you fall and get hurt, all I need to do is pick you up and cuddle you and you're back to your smiling self pretty quickly. Your hurt-cry breaks my heart. I'm so bonded to you now. :) Love love love!
