SEVEN MONTHS OLD!

I've been a bit behind on blogging lately.  Poor Tommy's monthly milestone post is a little behind!

So what do we know about Tommy boy as he turns 7 months old?

Well... getting rid of the rash has increased his development by leaps and bounds.  In just 3 short weeks, he went from hardly being able to roll over to rolling over both ways, sleeping on his belly, scooting forward and backward, doing the downward dog position and plank position, pulling himself up on things... he has just gone wild! It's fantastic! Apparently before he was just too busy scratching, poor kiddo!

He is always on the go. He's very squirmy.  But it's definitely amazing because you can just see him constantly learning by the second.



He's also about to crawl!!! Oh my! He's our first born so of course we're excited about him crawling. We just can't help it (even though we know he will be getting into everything)!  It's so incredible to see him figure it out.  Of course he has to be very motivated to do it.  In the video, he wanted to get his hands on a plate of ketchup and mustard.  He also has a lot of motivation to get to my phone.

He is growing so fast.  He is such a big boy!!  He is so different now that his rash is gone.  He just seems like a different baby.  Plus he's finally sleeping through the night most nights again so he probably feels much better now that he's getting more sleep.

 We finally started baby food.  (I don't jump at these feeding milestones. It just means he's growing up!)  He's enjoying some peas in this picture.  We really need to focus on vegetables because I KNOW he is getting too much sugar from my diet.  Yikes.  Definitely haven't kicked that pregnancy habit.  Whoops.  So more peas please! :)

Pretty much every day he surprises us in some way.  In this picture, he surprised us by keeping the pacifier in his mouth after a nap.  Not normal for him.  He usually spits it out right before he falls asleep. But you just never know with Thomas the Tank.

 I haven't had time to do a photo shoot this month since we're so very busy lately but I did add a few pictures that I've snapped recently in his big boy outfits.

 I love this lobster shirt.  Another Zulilly find!

I got this shirt from Target.  Such a stud!

Look at how big he looks in his Puma outfit! LOVE this one.  So stinking cute! He's ready to head out on the golf course.

As you can tell from the pictures, he likes to MAKE NOISE ALL THE TIME!!! I feel bad for the other kids at daycare! He loves to shriek, shriek, shriek! It's definitely funny (to us).  Plus it's how he's communicating with us right now.  We're working on consonant sounds with him hoping he'll latch on to that and not shriek so much but hey, Tommy does what he wants! :) Dada, Tommy? How about Mama?? Baba? Anything??
Any day now....

Happy Seven Months, Tommy T!!
