7 months is all about movement and motion for the Teddy! He’s transitioning from his belly to all fours to sitting unassisted. He’s even started to crawl….ish! He sways back and forth and then propels himself forward and then repeats. It’s not graceful but it definitely gets him from point A to B to C to D and so on. He’s even started to ‘walk’ in his scooter. I’ll be cooking in the kitchen and all of a sudden he’s banging me in the back of the knees with a big grin on his face. It’s a brave new world now that he doesn’t stay in one place. Baby proofing here we come!<\/p>\n

Teddy has officially finished nursing (a bittersweet moment for mama) and has 5 formula bottles a day along with 2 meals. I was concerned at his 6 month appointment about his limited ability to swallow and eat food. Well, that’s over! He eats like a champ and loves just about anything you put in front of him; even my spinach pea combos! Bananas, apples, carrots and squash seem to be favorites but he ADORES his Puffs! His ninja-speed reflexes come out when you dump some Puffs on his tray. His eye-hand coordination isn’t great but his motivation is clearly strong! Still no teeth but lots of babbling, smiling and laughing. He’s started to belly laugh when something is really funny (usually Andrew) and it’s fantastic to hear.<\/p>\n

Teddy continues to be a champion sleeper; down around 7-7:30pm with almost no, if any, fuss and wakes around 6-7 am to eat. Some mornings we have to wake him up to get ready for school at 7:30. While he looks more like me, the sleeping thing is definitely Andy! And when he’s not sleeping you can find him contently playing with his toys, giggling at his brother or making a break for any cars Andrew may have left on the floor. He still loves a good crinkle book and enjoys sucking on ice cubes…or anything for that matter. We are still very much in the ‘everything in my mouth phase.’ He’s seriously a very happy baby. How did we get so lucky!?!<\/p>\n

Happy 7 months Teddy! Keep on smiling!\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
