Andrew William is 7 months old today! I say this every month but, damn, time is flying by. Our little man continues to fill our days with so much joy and silliness….and that’s A LOT of joy when you get up at 5:30-6am every morning!
What can we say about 7 months?! Baby boy is 29 inches long and weighs 19 lbs 10 oz. He can just squeeze into a few 6 month onesies but fits squarely in 9-12 month clothes. Still no teeth but can sit really well. This is his biggest accomplishment and milestone of the last month- sitting! I still swear he’s just days from crawling, though I’m beginning to sound like the mom who cried wolf. The kid gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He’s got to be close. One of these days I will be right…
Andrew has also made awesome strides with eating and sleeping. He regularly sleeps from 8pm-6:30 am each night. He rarely wakes before 5 am (baby morning) and no longer eats during the night. Andrew takes 6 oz, ‘man size’ bottles each day at school and is eating more and more ‘people food’ each day. Yogurt is his new favorite. He makes an ‘mmm’ sound after most bites. And speech- Andy swears Andrew has said Dada but I’m not forking over first word that easily. I will concede that the boy is close….very close. We’ve also started sign language in the last few days with minimal success. I’m trying to teach him ‘more’ and ‘done’ in order to replace the banging and high-pitched hyena squeal he has become accustomed to making when he hasn’t finished eating.
So much to say about this little boy. He melts our hearts and makes us so proud to be his mama and dada!
