7 months old

Liam is 7 months old! unbelievable

• We have finally introduced some new foods to little man. He's had oatmeal cereal, squash, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, apples and prunes. He doesn't really care for the veggies except the peas and jarred squash. He also only likes to eat them if they're really watered down, kind of like baby soup! He really likes his fruits so far though! I did give him bananas but they seemed to just come back up so we'll wait another month till we try them again.
• His eyes are still mostly blue but have alot more green in them, almost hazel now
• I'm still surprised that I can still move Liam from his carseat to his bed when he falls asleep in the car, and he stays asleep!!! I don't remember being able to do that with Avery past a few months old
• His mommy anxiety has kicked up this past month. He does not like being put down and left alone. He tends to melt down, even in his fun exersaucer or jumperoo.
• Liam really loves swinging in the baby swing on our back porch.
• Still no teeth! doesn't even feel like any are close to coming in
• Around the middle of this month Liam started having sleep issues. No longer would he be put down and fall asleep on his own. We had a few days filled with lots of crying. We would put him down on his tummy and he would automatically roll over onto his back. He did sleep twice on his back but only for 30 min and would then wake up crying. I had to practically hold him down and pat his back to get him to sleep. Whew. I think he was also getting over tired so I've been careful to watch his waketime and put him down right at the 2hr mark. He's back to taking 2 good 1.5-2hr naps (+ one evening catnap) and sleeping till 7:30/7:45 in the mornings!
• He has starting flirting, he will smile at someone and then hide his face. Its so cute
• Liam makes the funniest noises, he has started yelling! Avery thinks its funny to yell back and they go back and forth
• Avery loves to read to Liam, he is more interested in eating the book but its super cute
• He still puts EVERYTHING in his mouth
• He rolled over from his back to tummy! on 2/19. He will only do it when he really wants to but hopefully this will help minimize his sleep issues!
• Liam is so funny, he loves to cover up his face. Peekaboo is his favorite game but he will take a burp cloth and cover his face and kick and flail his arms. I thought maybe he was mad but when you take off the burp cloth you see this huge grin!!
• I weighed him on our bathroom scale this morning and he was 21lbs!
• He LOVES target, he will stop whatever he is doing(even nursing) to watch target walk by. He kicks and waves his arms and coos.
• Liam does this spastic arm flail/legs kick thing when he gets excited, its hilarious. Especially when he sees pictures. He loves to look at pictures, especially ones of his sister.

Love our little guy, Happy 7 month birthday!!
