Miles- 7 months old!




Age 7 months
Weight and Length   He seems to keep growing! 
Clothing size  Wearing mostly 9-12 months, or 6-12. 
Hair Dark blonde! Wondering if it will get as light as his siblings! It is similar to Kate's at this age. 
Teeth  None yet, but is chewing on everything! 
Sleeping  Miles sleeps from 7:30-8:00 pm until around 7:15 am with usually a dream feed at 11 and then 1 wake up around 5-6 am. Sleeps well in a regular sleep sack. 
Eating  Miles nurses every 2.5-3 hours but lately really seems more interested in solid foods! He has loved chewing on whole foods and so far doesn't love purees. HE LOVED salmon bits and risotto- salmon and broccoli may be his favorite foods so far.  He has tried steamed broccoli, sweet potato, eggs and beans. He likes just about anything in his fresh food teether- corn, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cantaloupe, eggs, sweet potato. He has been a bit more willing to try sweet potato and prune puree (thank goodness as this helps with his new found constipation from eating).  He basically wants whatever we have.  He also loves BAMBA and likes baby mum mums too. 
Movement  Miles is happiest sitting up and much more stable.  We still protect him from potential falls with pillows due to the hard floors.  He is starting to try to pull up on his crib and activity cube. He had to lower the crib.  Still not regularly rolling back to front but rolls about 85% of the way while sleeping (just can't get that arm out). I bet the baby gates will be going up pretty soon!
Milestones  Miles loves to eat real food- that is for sure his biggest milestone! 
Favorite toys/activities  He really likes to sit on the floor and play with his learning walker and activity cube.  He is still pretty content in his play nest and also in the jumper. He is also loving splashing in the bath these days. 
Dislikes  Being hungry, or tired, otherwise he is a pretty happy baby. 
Words and sounds   Still loves to babble when he is in the mood- but nothing specific yet. 
What we love   All the smiles and giggles- he likes to be tickled! 
What we don’t love  Distracted nursing and fussiness when we miss naps- otherwise he is mostly a charmer. 
What we’re looking forward to next month More movement and more sounds!!!
