I Am Seven Months Old Today ...

... and I've found my thumb, but I don't suck on it. I put it in the corner of my mouth and chew on it while wearing a HUGE grin.
... and I am ON THE MOVE!
... and I babble, babble, babble.
... and I go down for the night around 7:30 pm and wake up around 7 am.
... and I love to wrestle with the bumpers in my crib.
... and if I hear Echo running around or Julia talking or anything else while I'm being fed, I twist and turn to see if I can figure out where the noise is coming from. Mama tells me this is pretty frustrating.
... and I am scared of the vacuum.
... and I have no set schedule for naps. I'm a mystery to my Mommy on this point.
... and don't try to cuddle me to sleep.
... and if I am awake, I want to be able to move.
... and I am getting better at eating rice cereal.
... and I do NOT like to be left in a room by myself.
... and I can move well enough to try to follow everyone around, I'm just not fast enough.
... and I have a piercing SCREAM that I use when something isn't going my way.
... and I have a new car seat.
... and I don't sit up well enough yet to use a high chair at a restaurant so I have to go in my stroller when we eat out.
... and I like to be lifted waaaaaaaaay up high.
... and I am ticklish.
... and I love to play with my toes.
... and I try to crawl after my sister's cup or snacks or toy or anything else she has left on the floor.
... and unless I'm already mostly asleep, I WAIL when I am first put down in my crib.
... and I am learning to play in my crib after I wake up.
... and if my sister goes down for a nap at the same time as me, we usually end up keeping each other awake.
... and I like to "stand up" (with help).
... and I am a very good-natured boy.

Guess who doesn't like to stay still for his update pictures anymore?

Love,
