7 Months Old!

 

Gavin is 7 months old!  He continues to be such a joy and it's so amazing to watch him grow and learn!

~He's doing a wonderful job at tummy time and is able to push himself up to his knees.
~He sleeps through the night most of the time.  If he wakes up overnight, he goes back to sleep quickly with a diaper change (he's normally soaked!) and a brief nursing session.  He continues to a great job of putting himself to sleep.  He normally goes to sleep between 7:30-8:00pm and wakes up at 5:30-6:00am.
~We've been giving him a taggie blanket at nap and bed time.  He'll reach for it when put to bed and frequently falls asleep with it over his face.  If possible, we try to move it.
~He loves food!  He gets excited when put him into his high chair.  He's enjoyed everything we've introduced.  The only funny faces we've received are reactions to cold temperatures and textures.  He's had a combination of store-bought and homemade food.
~Gavin loves giving "kisses".  He'll hold your face and come at you with an open mouth.  While it's more likely to be an attempt to mouth yet another object, it's cuter to consider it a kiss!
~He loves Peek-A-Boo, tickles, and belly nuzzles!  You're almost always guaranteed to receive a huge smile and giggle in return!
~We've started bathing him in the big tub rather than the baby tub.  He enjoys splashing in the water and chewing on his brother's foam bath letters and bath books.
