7 Months

 Even though we are right in the middle of our big move to my mom's, there is still time to celebrate Charlie turning seven months old! It still amazes me how much can happen in just a month!

•  Charlie has started to crawl. It makes me laugh every time because it is more of a inchworm crawl than anything else. He'll get up on all fours and then fall/push himself forward and then repeat. But he gets to where he wants to go!
• First tooth! Wanted to sneak it in just before he was seven months. He has been more fussy lately, so I knew it was coming. First the bottom center/left followed a few days later by the bottom center/right.
• Drinks 4-7oz bottles and has two meals (breakfast and dinner). His favorites are peas and carrots/parsnips. We've also added chicken, avocado, nectarines, and broccoli into his diet this month.
• Charlie no longer uses the baby bath in the tub and and has so much fun sitting next to Dylan.
• Charlie hasn't been sleeping as soundly, I'm thinking because of the teeth, but still is a good sleeper. He's in his crib from 6:45-7/7:30 and generally wakes up happy.
• Wears 6-9 months clothes, Size 3 diapers, and I believe he would be a size 3-3.5 shoe.
• He is getting better at picking up puffs, but still ends up with a fist full of them and has difficulty getting them into his mouth. He loves mum mums and does pretty well with eating them.
• Charlie holds his bottle! He actually prefers it now. He does a better job drinking his bottle if he lays on the floor and holds it himself. Mr. Independent!
• Loves to chew on anything he can get his hands on. I blame the teeth, but I don't very much like this phase...germs, germs, germs!
• My favorite thing about Charlie is that he is super smiley!! He smiles at anyone and everything and is just my happy baby! :)
