7 months with Brady

Brady- 7 months

I don’t know why but Brady turning 7 months kind-of bothers me. I have enjoyed every second of these past 7 months but it kills me how fast they’ve gone. He changes more and more every day. I love to watch him grow and develop. He’s such funny little boy. I am pretty sure he’s going to be a handful. I love him more and more every day.

Here’s what Brady has been up to this past month:

*Last month, he weighed 18lbs. I’m guessing he’s about 19 lbs now.

*He eats between 5-6 oz of formula each feeding (sometimes a little less). He gets 1 tbsp of rice cereal per ounce of milk. He eats every 4.5-5 hours.

*He’s tried carrots, bananas, apples, peaches, pears, and green beans. He seems to not be too picky so far.

*He is still spitting up. I hope he grows out of that soon. It’s probably because he’s so active after he eats.

*He crawls everywhere. We have to shut all the doors to all the rooms in our house or else he’d get into everything!

*He can pull up now. He pulls up on everything.

*He sits up all by himself every well. He can go from crawling to sitting back to crawling.

*He’s still a wiggle worm.

*He’s not a cuddly baby at all. The only time I really get to cuddle with him is when he falls asleep in my arms.

*He can get his toes to his mouth…he likes to chew on them.

*He still has 2 teeth.

*He is still not sleeping well. I don’t know what to do with him.

*He has discovered that he can squeal and he likes to do it.

*He makes a funny noise now…he’ll suck in when he’s laughing…it’s too funny. He likes to do it during church and make everyone behind us laugh.

* He wears nine and even a few 9-12 month clothes.

*He’s wearing a size 3 diaper.

*He loves his bathes.

*He’s still attached to his pacifier.

*He loves to be on the floor. He usually doesn’t want to be held.

*He usually wakes up in a very good mood. It’s so funny to hear him talking to himself when he wakes up.

*He is a very curios (or noisy) baby.

*He makes the cutest little noises.

*He has the goofiest smile and expressions.

*He’s doing so well riding in the car now. It sure makes going places much more pleasant.

*His Sunday School teachers say he’s doing a great job in class.

*He does really well during church services.

*He smiles all the time.

*He laughs all the time too.

* He is really starting to try to talk more and more. It’s so cute to carry on a conversation with him.

*He still loves blowing bubbles!

*His eyes are still blue.

*His hair is really starting to look red to me. I don’t know if he’s going to be a sandy blond or redhead.

*He still loves playing with his feet.

*He tries to stand up when you hold him up.

*He has no problem at all with letting you know that he’s unhappy. He can throw some major fits.

*He is very impatient!

*He fights his sleep…especially for naps.

*He loves to look at himself in the mirror.

Here’s Brady this month.

He's starting to look more like a little boy instead of a baby.

He loves his football.

A little messy when he eats but he's getting better. He's such a happy baby (most of the time..haha).
