Nicholas is 7 Months Old!

Hey, just hanging out being awesome...and also learning that I don't have to sit still and just smile...

No stats this month, he does have a second flu shot appointment on Tuesday so if they weigh him I'll let you know where he is. He actually doesn't have a real "visit" until December (9 months), so after Tuesday he'll get a nice little break from shots for awhile.

Likes: He's pretty much game for anything. Likes sitting and playing with toys, his exersaucer, a new one is he likes being turned upside down. Nick does it a lot, but I'll "swoop" down with him and he giggles like crazy. He likes tummy time, rolling around (although he doesn't do it that much) and he's been scooting backwards and sideways a bit, but not quite forward yet. I can see him thinking hard about it though :)He also loves going to the store and sitting in the carriage - he will stare anyone down until they acknowledge him and then he'll giggle like crazy.

Dislikes: Being taken out of the bathtub, same as last month, and I don't see this going away any time soon. We've been using the projector setting on the white noise machine and it puts a starry/ colorful image on the wall which distracts him a bit.

When his bottle is done he'll scream bloody murder for a few seconds and then realize "oh wait, I'm full" and stop.

Sleep: Nicholas got sick from a friend's daughter a few weeks back and he started waking himself up in the middle of the night coughing. It's been pretty rough the last couple of weeks but the last two nights were good (hey, I'll take what I can get!). He'll go down by 7 and sleep until about 4:30-5. We also think he might be teething again (lots of drool on his sleep sack and a bit more irritated than normal) and adding new fruits and veggies every few days so he'll take some time to adjust to the new "things".

Noteable:

I mentioned it in an earlier post, but he screamed "daaadaaaa" several times, it's the one syllable he's learned so far...so now I just sit with him and say "mamamamamamamaamamamam" hoping that will come out next ;)


Overall, we are blessed with a very happy, smiley, giggly, cuddly baby and I can't get enough of him. The other day he was cuddled on my hip "watching" tv and I told Nick was never again going to work, I was just going to stay there forever. Ahh..if only.
