Seven Months


Yesterday Ryan turned 7 months old!

Each month that passes he changes so much! He still loves many of the same things and he is still quite a big boy, but that "little boy" personality is really starting to shine through and it won't be long before he is getting around on his own!

At 7 months, he...
-rolls, all over the place
-most often sleeps on his tummy now
-sits up unassisted for long periods of time
(when he does fall over, he just starts rolling around the room
until he gets stuck and can't go any further)
-takes a morning and afternoon nap with a short evening nap
-can push himself backwards in the walker
-actually jumps in his jumperoo, instead of just hanging
-enjoys Praise Baby and Baby Signing Time videos
-rides in a big boy carseat now, no more infant carrier for us!

We went to the doctor last week (he came down with croup) and he weighed in at 24lbs 2oz! He is in ALL 18 month clothes now and I'm really looking forward to starting him in some spring clothes... though the hand-me-downs will mostly be clothes from Logan's 2nd summer! Crazy, I know!! I am very thankful to my friend Kim for lending me some boy clothes to make it through the end of winter with, so that I didn't have to buy clothes for only a few months use!

As Ryan is starting to desire certain toys and make his way around the room in seconds, I am already starting to see him crawling by next month's post! Now we'll just have to see if he can get all that weight off the ground and be strong enough to carry it where he wants to go! :-)

Sweet, sweet Ryan! He changes by minute, I do believe!
