No doctor's appointment this month, so I don't have your full stats, but let's just say you are, at this moment, wearing a 12 month outfit, and it fits, so we'll just go with... ahead of the curve.
You've been busy this month, growing stronger and smarter and generally more awesome.
Seven month milestones:
- Rolling like the wind
- Improved balance in the standing position
- Eating solids like a champ
- "Waving"
- Cutting your first tooth! (Bottom right)

| I'll chew on anything... an-y-thing. |

| Look at me wave... I'm freakin' adorable! |
Your dad bought you this lion at a garage sale months and months ago, and this month you took a serious liking to it.
When you "ride" it, you look SO big. You're still a bit unsteady on it, so there's always a hand near when you're on it, but I'm sure it won't be long until you're using your wheels to cruise the halls and terrorize the cats.
When you press the nose it plays lion-themed Jamaican jams. You totally "dance" by bouncing up and down (while I half lunge for you every five seconds because you are a TINY BABY and should not be able to do such
I could literally eat those cheeks up. Luckily, you tolerate the roughly 50,000 kisses we give you daily.
We read lots and lots of books and you are super interested in them, which makes your mother's nerd-heart (it's a thing) deeply happy. You are also very good at turning the pages, because you are a genius, clearly. But you also like to chew on them, because you are normal, too.
Current favorites:
- That's Not My Monster!
- A Trip to the Zoo (vintage... aka was mine, like most of your books)
- Sesame Street Bedtime Book
- Blankie (a memoir)
Also, as I mentioned, you have really started to enjoy eating this month (she get it from her mama!). New tastes this month were: acorn squash, avocado, banana, pears, green beans. You pretty much liked them all and in general spit out much less than you did before. In the evenings, when I'm making dinner, you will hang out in your high chair and just watch what's happening. It's super cute.

| Exhibit A |
Now, as I was reviewing this blog, I realized you might be getting the wrong idea about yourself from these monthly posts. You are, in general, a very happy baby, yes, but you also have your moments. Moments where you express your displeasure. See Exhibit A.
Also, SLEEP. For the love of all that is good and holy, please start sleeping through the night. Mama is so. so. so. tired. And so is your dad. And we just really are not those people that do well with no sleep. We get cranky and cry sometimes and put your diaper on completely wrong at 2am which is really hard on your sheets. And I'm afraid I'm going to face plant into my desk from sheer exhaustion, which would probably not be the best impression to make at the new job. So, if you could maybe just work on that. But we love you anyway, no worries.
Seven months. Rad.
We love you bunches and bunches. And bunches. And then, more bunches after that.
