7...These Have Gone By So Fast!

7 Month Stats:

Weight- 19 lbs

Height- 29"

Well 7 Months has practically already come and gone, so I figured before the month has completely passed us by I needed to list some new things that have been going on before B hits his big 8 month mark! Beckahm has become even more mobile than his rolling self was before, which has been a huge help to get him into any and everything possible! He is the most curious little boy, I'm constantly getting comments from people about how they can notice he is just taking so much in and wondering about everything, it's so true! When we're in a new place he will spin 360's while I'm holding him in an effort to see everything and everyone it's the funniest thing. He is constantly going non-stop, such a little wiggle worm--constantly keeps me on my toes. Some things that have happened this month are:

• He is able to use one hand to pick smaller things up now rather than two
• Loves to sit up in his bath and splash away
• Refuses to sit still when he's getting his diaper changed--always ends up on his stomach before his diapers even off!
• Took his first face plant onto the tile floor (poor thing) of course mom was at work and when dad called to tell her she had a complete freak out...
• So with that came..his first fat lip =(
• Will pull himself up and stand by himself (NUTS)
• Loves to walk (with our help of course)
• Has a mean army crawl going on it's so funny
• Has learned how to clap (cutest thing ever)
• Moves his arms and legs really fast and bounces a ton when he gets excited
• Won't just sit on your lap, he has to stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down...soooooo energetic
• Have I mentioned curious??? He is into everything!
• He'll spot a chord from across the room and get there in a jiffy
• Still in size 3 diapers
• Fits in clothes from 6-12 months great now!
• Loves his crib! Goes to sleep around 9:30 and sleeps til 7:30 usually, He's such a good little sleeper
• Still a little attached to his mama, but it's getting better
• Is completely enthralled with Aunt Kristen, she has been the one person I can leave him with all day and he doesn't make a peep or even care to be back in his mama's arms. She's such a good aunt and I can already tell they're going to have an amazing bond, she adores him just as much, I love it
• He loves playing with Grandpa's scruffy face
• Has started to recognize animals and gets so excited when they're around
• Is scared of screams and loud noises, which seems a little contradicting since he is always screaming and yelling haha
• Loves watching the wiggles
• Is a huge fan of Mickey Mouse and Elmo
• Loves to be around people and be the center of attention. I took him to a work party with me and he didn't wanna leave, he'll go to any and everyone as long as he knows I'm not leaving him haha
• We have finished all veggies and tried some fruits and meats, he isn't a fan of either yet..hopefully this changes soon.
• We have tried some solid foods like bananas and bread...choking hazard, no bueno...
• He is so tall we have to switch carseats already!
• Total gummer still...but is always drooling, who knows when those teeth will decide to make an appearance...
• If he sees something he wants to put in his mouth he attacks it!
• Has mastered drinking from a bottle finally, it was hard but we finally got it down
• Loves wrapping paper...never saw that coming..haha ;)
• Loves to be around mom and dad and we're completely okay with it

Shows a little of this "can't sit still nonsense" =)

I have learned so much about myself over these past 7 months, it's crazy. This little boy is my everything and definitely makes things so much more fun. He is loved by so many, we have the best families. I love to watch him play with his cousins. I can tell he's going to have the funnest, most outgoing personality and look forward to the many more new things he will learn in the near future. I love you Beckahm!
