7 Months Old!!!

Tomorrow Wade will be 7 months old... I know I say this every time but where does time go? Tomorrow we will take his monthly pictures but here are a couple of new cute ones. Of course there is no smiling going on but they are still cute!

Our big boyThanks mimi and pops for the new chair

almost had a good smile!
Here is what he has been up to:

-He weighs around 19lbs (his last visit two weeks ago he was 18lbs 9oz)

-He is still chubby but has really started to slim down some since he has gotten so much longer

-He is wearing size 3 diapers still

-He is wearing 6-9 and 9-12 month clothes

-He is on a really good schedule these days...he takes a 1hr morning nap and a 2 hr afternoon nap (sometimes takes a 30 min evening nap as well but is starting to grow out of it)

-He goes to bed at 8pm every night and wakes up between 5-6am to eat and goes back to sleep until 8am

-He eats oatmeal for breakfast, a vegetable for lunch, and a vegetable & rice cereal with fruit for dinner

-He is still nursing and eats at 6am, 11am, 3pm, & 7pm (he still has never had formula)

-He loves water in his sippy cup but has not mastered holding it completely by himself

-He loves morning time and bath time (we have now grown out of his old tub and use his duck tub and have added some toys to bath time and he LOVES it)

-He is rolling Everywhere!!!

-He grabs everything and will roll or turn to get something he wants

-He is doing great at sitting especially in the bathtub (I still don't leave him sitting alone yet because he likes to throw his head back and lie down when he gets tired)

-He is so active and is moving all the time (his legs kick all the time)

-He is not crawling but is starting to like being on his stomach more and more each day

-He can walk a few steps backwards in his walker

-He loves to shake his toys and rattles and does the cutest thing where he shakes with his right hand and then switches and shakes it with his left hand. (he is so proud when he does it with both hands)

-He loves to go for walks and being outside

-He "babbles" all the time

-He has realized that we have dogs and he LOVES them- he laughs and wants to grab them all the time

-He loves anything plastic or anything that makes noise

-He is the happiest and sweetest little boy. I am so thankful I have been able to stay home with him for the last 7 months. He is such a joy to be around and we are so blessed that he is our little boy.

Unfortunately today he had to go to the doctor because the last few nights he started waking up screaming again and sure enough we have our second ear infection... the doctor did not seem to concerned he said if it was his 3rd or 4th we would be going to the ENT doctor. Hopefully this will be the last one for awhile. He was pitiful last night and almost made me cry he was screaming and crying so hard. I knew something was wrong much sooner this time. The doctor said we caught it early so hopefully the antibiotics will start working soon.
