Seven Months

Lawson, you are SEVEN months old (one week late, mommy is a slacker when it's a week before the STAAR test, ha!)! Holy moly, where has the time gone?



What you are up to:

• You are right at 17 pounds
• You wear a size 2 diaper, 3 at night
• You wear 6-9 months clothes. Some of them are still a little big. The other day you crawled right out of your jeans, ha!
• You are CRAWLING!!! YIKES!
• You smile all the time. You are such a happy boy.
• You are a GREAT eater. You still take four bottles a day and three meals a day. You will try anything and you love all different flavors. You even eat puffs, yogurt melts, and baby cookies now. Occasionally you get a treat like grilled veggies or a whole banana. :)
• You FINALLY outgrew your dairy intolerance. WOOHOO!! We switched your formula and we don't have to worry about dairy free now. We still don't want you to have too much cow's dairy, and we will continue to bake for you with almond milk, but we don't have to watch everything you eat like a hawk anymore. :) :) :)
• You are a great sleeper, and are on a schedule with naps now and at night time. You love your sleep!
• You talk a LOT now! You mostly say sounds, but you do say "Dada." Sometimes you are just saying the "da" sound over and over, but sometimes you actually mean it! Mommy is LOVING that you know that word so that she can use it to her advantage: "Lawson, who do you want to change your diaper?" "Dada!!" LOVE IT! :)
  

Some pictures, in a random order:

You fell asleep playing, ha! Wore yourself out!

Funny face!

Sophie the Giraffe, she's your new BFF. You won't let anyone take her from you and you must take her to Honey's every day. **side note added after originally posting: I was reading back through and I noticed that Sophie is hiding not too far from you in nearly every picture except your eating ones. Cracks me up, haha!!!

Playing with your sister. Dakota is such a great big sister to you!

My happy man!

Eating a baby cookie.

Eating grilled squash, zucchini, and sweet potato.

Just playin'

Proof that you're not always happy. You had dropped your bottle (see it in between his legs). This mean momma took a picture before giving it back. ;-)

Some videos of my sweet man.

This is him crawling right at seven months. A week later, he is already a pro! He uses his hands and arms now instead of his belly. I will have to post another video later of that. :)


We can't believe how big you are getting! Mommy is already planning your first birthday party, which makes me want to cry! Slow down little man!
