Dane is 7 Months Today!

I can't believe Dane is 7 months old already! He is getting so big!

• Unofficially he is weighing about 20 lbs.
• Wearing size 3 diapers
• Wearing 6-9 month clothes
• Eating oatmeal with fruit or cereal with fruit for breakfast, fruit for lunch, and a meat mixed with veggies and fruit for dinner. Plus still taking 6 oz of formula 4 times a day.
• Uses his sippy cup, but still prefers his bottle
• Holds his bottle so well
• Sleeping from about 7:15 p.m. until about 6:30 a.m.-usually sleeping through the night, though occasionally needing mommy or daddy to come comfort him.
• Started rolling from back to tummy in the middle of the night and sometimes sleeping on his side. He likes to sleep with his face buried in the mattress, I don't like this so much.
• Celebrated his first Valentines Day
• Gave mommy her first "Happy Birthday Mommy" card
• Had a very mild case of RSV
• Enjoyed several snow days with mommy (Though, as much as we enjoyed them we are ready for warmer weather)
• We can see the very tip of the first tooth coming in
• Enjoyed his cousin Claire's First Birthday party
• Moving to a bigger carseat anyday now....my hip is killing me.
• Hair is starting to grow
• Started to wave and will sometimes give fives.

Looks like such a big boy when he sits up

Can spin in a circle on his belly, but not crawling yet!

Chews on anything!

Loves his cousin Delaney and loves to watch her play her Nintendo DS

Rode in his umbrella stroller for the first time

Has sooo many toys. He is so happy when he plays. He laughs and talks the whole time.

Loves to play with his feet

Loves to play in his exersaucer. He looks so serious reading the little book. He is so big there is no more swing. He will sit in his bouncy seat while I get ready in the morning, but it won't be much longer until we have to put that away.

I pull out all of these toys every afternoon after work and usually at some point he finds the empty basket more interesting.

Before we go to take a bath I always tell him, "Ok, time to pick up our toys and put them away." I pick them all up, talking to him the whole time about pulling his toys away and he usually just gives me a big smile like, "Sure, whatever mom."

Loves to spend two days a week with Daddy! (Especially on this day when Daddy let him stay in his PJs ALL DAY!!) When mommy asked why he was still in PJs Daddy said, "We didn't go anywhere and just wanted to be comfy."

We can't believe how fast the time is going. He is getting so big and we are having so much fun! We love you Dane!
