And here comes 7 months, when I want to cry like a baby because my baby is closer to a year old than he is to a newborn :( Good thing it just keeps getting BETTER! This sweet hunk of love is just the coolest kid. His personality is the calm and peace in our house, which is a nice balance to our tornado of a 3 year old :) We all just love him SO very much!
Bodey started crawling at 6.5 months, following exactly in the footsteps as his big bro. The Dunn boys and their motor milestones! haha. He is getting around everywhere now at 7 months and even pulls himself to stand. Slow down buddy! We need to get out the baby gates. If he wants to be held, he usually knows where to find me-and will crawl straight for the kitchen or the laundry room to hunt me down :)
He LOVES being sung to. He gets the hugest smile on his face the minute you start. He doesn't really discriminate, but he especially loves "You Are My Sunshine". He also gets a huge smile when you say "mama" or "dada" to him or when I sign "all done" after he's done eating :) No words or obvious sound babbles yet. He "talks" but no syllable sounds yet. He loves standing, and will pull to stand if you let him grab your fingers.
We started solids right around 6 months and are going the "baby-led weaning" route which is basically no purees, but instead giving him soft actual pieces of food for him to self-feed. He is lovinnnggg it! I haven't been the most consistent, but I'm trying to be better! haha. He has had (and has loved) avocado, sweet potato, pear, carrot, banana, and coconut milk yogurt, but will not entertain the idea of steamed cauliflower. He wouldn't even let me put any in his mouth and he gagged if got a piece in there. He also loves sipping water out of his straw cup. Such a big boy!
Bodey is a great sleeper! He usually falls asleep around 8 pm at night (although sometimes he would want to go down sooner and the nights I work he waits until 8:30 pm when I get home) and sleeps solid until between 4 and 6 am. It had been more like between 3 and 430 am the last few weeks, but just the last few days he has slept closer to 5 am and once even got to 6 am! Progress! He then nurses and falls back asleep until around 8/830 am! He has, just in the past couple days, only taken 2 naps with one being 2+ hours long! He's been doing his first nap around 10 am and it's usually about an hour or more, and then second nap around 130/2 pm and depending on how long this one is he may or may not get another catnap before bed. It had been nap at 930/10 am, 1/130 pm, and 5 pm is, but he's been taking longer naps and cutting that catnap. Works for me!
Still nurses 5 times a day, wears size 3 diapers, and 6-9 month clothes. Sweet as can be in every single way!
Happy 7 Months, Bodey Frank!
