7 month update

I just celebrated my 7 month birthday and have a great deal to share with you all!


Since I haven't been to the pediatrician in a month, I don't have an exact height and weight for you. However, I am currently somewhere between 16.5-17 pounds and approximately 26.5 inches long (breast milk keeps me long and lean)!

I started crawling on October 1st! In addition, Daddy had to drop my crib as I've not only started pulling myself up onto my knees (once was on the coffee table where I proceeded to grab a magazine and immediately rip off the cover), but have even managed to pull myself to standing, although wobbly.

I've also begun to babble incessantly. Dada came first, but I throw Mama in there occasionally. Mommy thinks my first "real" word will be Buddy, my best friend, but we'll see . . .

For recent pictures, please view my slide show below.

Check back with me again after the end of the month for an 8 month update and pictures of my trip to the Dairy State. Go Packers!

Catch-up (In Utero to 7 months)

As I am now 7 months old (and Mommy is FINALLY getting around to adding something other than the pictorial timeline to this blog), she felt it was necessary to create a quick post of my milestones from when I entered the world to the present. Whatever.

I was born February 28th 2008 at 9:05 PM. I weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 19.5 inches long. My Mommy had a wonderful natural birthing experience, and my Daddy was an awesome coach!

I cried a lot for the first 6 weeks or so, but around 2 months I finally started smiling! :)

I rolled over for the first time when I was 3 months old.

I began eating oatmeal when I was 5 months old. My diet now consists not only of breastmilk, but anything from mangos, rasberries, and prunes to butternut squash, green beans, and tomatoes.

I love the outdoors and traveling, and so far I've climbed Stone Mountain, hiked 11.4 miles on the Appalachian Trail, visited the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi (Amicalola Falls), took a road trip to Mobile, and have made regular visits to Americus to visit Daddy's family. At the end of October I'll be going on my first airplane ride to visit my Wisconsin family for Halloween!

By 6 months I was sitting without support and sprouted my first tooth! However, I haven't made it easy on Mommy to capture it in a photograph just yet.

Anyhoodles, I suppose the gist of this post is that I'm growing up fast! Be sure to check out my 7 month post for the most recent update of my milestones, physical attributes, etc . . .
