7 Months!

Obviously February did not have 30 days, so we will say today is Ford's 7 month b-day! He is still growing like a weed. It seems like he learns something new each day. He finally has gotten 1 tooth (the bottom right front one) and fixing to cut another one. He had been so fussy for a week or so, and it finally made sense when that tooth broke through last Friday 2/27. Ford is also learning to eat more solids these days. He is supposed to be on rice cereal 2 x day and veggies/ fruits 2-3 x day. We are trying to get this much in, but to be honest, he likes just having milk and would probably do without the solids! He does love fruit though. He also enjoys biter biscuits! As far as sleep goes....he still wakes up 1-2 times a night:( We are working on getting him to sleep through the night...so stayed tuned! He is a great napper though. If we are at home he will take 2 naps that are 1 1/2-2 hours. That is a great time for me to get things done around the house or nap with him which seems impossible these days! But he truly is such a happy baby. We are so blessed! Here are his 7 month pics and stats.
At 7 months...
Rolling all over the place
Can get to almost any toy in near reach by scooting/ creeping
Reaches arms out for you if he wants you
Whines when he wants something
Loves his passie
Wants to touch everything...especially food when we are eating
Thinks he is big stuff when he gets to eat food we are eating
Loves his grandparents...definitley already spoiled by them!
Loves baths and tries to suck the water out of the washcloth...yuck!
Probably his favorite thing is sitting up and playing
Sits up alone
Gets up on all fours
He is a mess!

When did Ford get so old? I think I missed a few months. Yeah for the 1st tooth. They do act like little crank pots when teething at times.

You are doing such a great job with him. Both of my kids never ate that much either during the first year.
