On February 7, Johnny turned seven months... I just thought I'd create a quick post with some updated pictures and information (mostly for my benefit!).
New skills:
He's sitting up VERY well! He also reaches for toys and is starting the get the pincer grasp down. He likes to hold his own teething biscuit or Baby Mum Mum and gnaw on it. He LOVES to eat but sometimes has to stop halfway through the burp (He gets SO excited that he loudly sucks in air before he takes a bite!). He's also VERY skilled at getting my hair in both hands and pulling it toward him.
He's starting to sleep better at night now that he has a full tummy. He usually goes a 6 to 8-hour stretch, but the he cries until I feed him...He's also starting to be more regular with naps and actually sleeping a good 45 minutes to an hour and a half at a time.
He has two teeth (came in when he was 6 1/2 months) on the bottom, but he still acts like he is teething (drool, gnawing on his thumb, sticking out his tongue, biting his bottom lip etc.).
Other than that, he's pretty happy. He did get the flu for a few days a couple of weeks ago, and that was NO fun!
Here's some pictures!
