Happy 7 month birthday! This picture was taken on January 29th. I usually mix fruit with David's cereal in the morning because he doesn't really like it plain now that he gets lots of different flavors. Blueberry is his favorite!

He has learned so many new things in the last month and even in the last week that I hope I have everything up to date. Including that he is no longer toothless!

He loves having baths and needs them on a regular basis. He is a very good sitter so I no longer need to hold his arm. He even likes to crawl and lay on his tummy while in the water. And of coarse mommy is right by his side in case he gets a mouthful of water.

On Thursday we saw his pediatrician to make sure he has a healthy heart and everything looks great, though he is going to keep a close eye on him just because of a family history of childhood heart problems. He weighed 18 lbs 9 1/2 oz and measured 28 1/2 inches long. This means we had to get him a new car seat and he is quite enjoying the extra space.

This week he started pulling himself up to stand on anything he can get his hands on. Usually the couch but even if there is a shoebox on the floor he will stand pushing up on that. If there is nothing to grab he sometimes goes from crawling to standing like a bear with arms and legs straight but he doesn't walk like that (so far anyway). He takes steps when you hold his hands but he is still really wobbly so we don't try that much.

Enjoying his first blueberries earlier in the week.

He now has two bottom teeth which are very cute, if I ever catch a picture of them I will be sure to post it. Monday night he slept all night so that was wonderful. We will continue to help him learn healthy sleep patterns but he is off to a good start. He is making "mom" and "dada" sounds and it seems he knows who is who. I thought that wasn't the case yet but I was reading that is feasible for an advance 7 month baby so I am now believing it to be true. When I leave the room "mom" among lots of "m" sounds are soon to follow.
