Guess who?

Guess who the other baby is . . . .

Seven Months Old

The amazing, spectacular, wonderful, gorgeous, (pick your superlative) Daniel is SEVEN MONTHS OLD (tomorrow). He's an active, curious, unendingly cheerful little guy who makes up in good humor what he lacks in sleeping ability. As of this morning's doctor's appointment, he is 19 pounds (57th %) and 26.18 inches (22nd %).

Why were we at the doctor this morning? Because the poor guy he has an ear infection - sneaky little problem. He's had a cough/runny nose but no fever for at least a week but this morning something was just off so in we went! Despite what the doc called an "impressive" amount of inflammation, Daniel was still happy and earnestly set about trying to eat all of the paper.

 At seven months, Daniel:

• smiles and laughs often
• enjoys peek a boo and will giggle when startled by me
• can push from tummy into a sit
• can sit unassisted most of the time - still tends to tip backwards when overly excited
• bellyflops instead of crawls
• squeals, squeaks, hums and blows spit bubbles
• IS STILL BREASTFEEDING
• wakes multiple times a night
• has tried green beans, sweet potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, cucumber, avocado, lemon, water,oatmeal, pickles, lettuce, applesauce and puffs
• likes the car and the stroller
• has two teeth (the better to bite you with, my dear!)
• puts everything in his mouth and will smirk at you if you yelp in pain
• grabs his feet 
• thinks the wind blows just for him
• loves the bath
• loves books - for reading and eating!
• enjoys being out and about
• prefers to have your undivided attention
• wears size 6 month clothes (altho sometimes the pants are too long)
• wears size 3 diapers
