Seven Months

Got your nose!

Ben doesn't go to the doctor until he turns 9 months old, so we're not sure how much he weighs... but I'm pretty sure it's around 50lbs. At least that's what my arms think.

• Ben has been amazing this month - he's hated being on his stomach pretty much from the beginning. A lot of the time he would just lay there and cry, so we didn't do a ton of tummy time:

Then all of a sudden he loved it! He's been rolling and spinning like crazy ever since!

• He loves pulling to a stand, and will do it if he's sitting up in his crib. Luckily he can't sit up on his own yet, but we're going to have to lower the crib soon!

• He still loves tags. He finds them on everything he can. He studies them like he's trying to read the tiny print, and then of course he chews on them.

• He likes pretty much every food he's tried - he even likes sweet potatoes now! He's tried rice cereal, avocados, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches, grapefruit, apples, squash, peas, green beans, carrots, chicken, turkey, pears, and black beans. The only thing he doesn't love is banana. He's also been eating cereal puffs sometimes. It's so cute to watch him pick it up, put it in his mouth, and hear his two little teeth crunch into the puff.

• We tried giving him a sippy cup a few times... he tends to hate it! It seems to get him frustrated quickly.

• He absolutely loves playing with two new books he got as gifts! He loves playing with the fish puppet, and sticking his fingers in the cut-outs, and he loves opening and feeling the Halloween book!! Thank you Joan and Aunt Susie!
