Seven Months Old!

Wow, can you believe it? Gavin turned seven months old on July 28th! He is getting to be such a big boy. He is sitting on his own quite well and he will grab for the bottle with both hands when he is ready to eat.....but needs work on holding it, so daddy and mommy will continue to help him out with that.

(Look at me sitting up all by my self)

(Seven months! Oh, no it can't be!)

(Maybe if I eat it, nobody will know?)

(Hmm, eating didn't work, maybe I'll rip it up)

(Or I'll just crupple it up)

(Here Gram, let me help you)

This little monkey went along with us to Rice Lake on Friday to go meet both Grandma B. and also Great Grandma Mary. We really had to twist Grandma B's arm into baby sitting for us while we went up to a friend's cabin for an annual weekend get together. It was nice that he was an angel for her and Grandma B said she wasn't ready to give him up when we returned.

(Hey, I'm nakie!)

Mom and Gavin hung out all day on Monday, since Jill had the day off. Our little man enjoyed hanging out with mom an extra day. Mom and her friend Nancy went to the hair stylist with Gavin....needless to say, she didn't need to do anything to his hair yet.

Lately he has been quite fond of his blanket when sleeping.......he will snuggle right up and cuddle with it, taking a nap when he is tired. He likes to have the blanket brush across his face too, resulting in many smiles and giggles. He is getting more interested in a fun little game of peek a boo too.

(What? You say I have to pick them all up?)

G is looking forward to more new foods. He is fond of peaches now. He joined us as we went to the farmer's market while daddy and mommy bought beets and other goodies. Daddy has now made homemade peas, green beans, and beets for Gavin's baby food. We haven't tried the beets yet, we need to wait until 8 months, but I'm sure he will scarf them down just like everything else.

Our little man is now eating bottles and food only. Gavin has transitioned well during this change. I think he is getting so active and hungry by feeding time, he would almost eat anything you put in front of him. We've added solids to the mid-morning feeding and continuing with the late afternoon feeding as well. He is a champ!!
