7 months old

Man, did this kid change a lot over the past month!  Here a quick update of what he has been up to...

The Pax Facts:

Eats-He is loving his solid food!  He eats oatmeal and fruit for breakfast and oatmeal and veggies for dinner.  He has pretty much liked everything I have given him.  So far I have been making all of his purees.  During the day he nurses or has a bottle (6-8 ounces) every 3-4 hours.  He is still up once, sometimes twice during the night to eat.  He also drinks water from a sippy cup, eats mum mums and sucks on fruit from that mesh pacifier looking thing.  We stopped giving him Prevacid for his reflux and he seems to be doing ok.  Still no teeth! 

Sleeps-We seem to finally be getting into a routine and he is getting a lot better about napping.  He usually goes down for the night around 7-7:30.  He is up once or twice to eat during the night and is up for good at 7 am.  He takes a morning nap around 9:30 for about an hour and an afternoon nap around 1 for 1-2 hours.  Hopefully we will both be sleeping through the night soon :/  

Wears-Size 3 diapers (although they seems like they are getting a little snug), 6-9 month clothes, size 3 shoes.

Other Pax Facts-He is moving all over the place!  He isn't quite crawling on all fours yet, but he can get anywhere he wants to go by rolling and army crawling! He is sitting, but isn't all that interesting in it...he would rather be on his tummy.  He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth.  He isn't far from really crawling.  I had him on the floor in his room and went into the kitchen to check on Ashlyn. When I went back into his room, he wasn't there...he was in Ashlyn's room!!!  I couldn't believe it!  He still babbles all of the time.  He is very vocal.  Everything goes in his mouth.  He is really into pulling hair right now...we are working on "soft hands".  He usually plays in his crib for a little while in the morning before I go in and get him.  When he sees or hears me coming he gets SO excited.  It is one of the highlights of my day.  When I pick him up, he wraps his arms around my neck and squeezes me.  He absolutely adores his sister.  He watches her every move.  He still isn't the biggest fan of being in his car seat, especially if we are stuck in traffic.  All in all he is a very happy guy!  And he makes us very happy.  We love you Paxman!
