Nate- 7 Months

Weight- approx 19 lbs
Oh my goodness! My cute big man!

• pretty much sitting on his own these days, sometimes toppling backwards or forwards if he gets away from himself (note: when Zach was in this stage, he would tuck and roll so his head didn't hit the floor- Nate doesn't do that, so there have been some disconcerting thuds but he doesn't seem bothered)
• Weaned to only nursing in the morning and at night. Sometimes I think he is liking the bottle better because it lets him look around and other times I think he is struggling with missing his nursing time during the day. He is VERY clingy to be come evening time.
• Nurses twice and takes two bottles (6:30, 12:00, 3:30, 7:30) and eats approx 12 oz of solids. 
• Loves being outside
• likes throwing things on the floor
• getting pretty good with saying mama, dada, baba, and gaga and will sometimes shock us all and mimic word phrases like "all done" and "thank you"
• still sleeps swaddled but those days are numbered
• two naps a day- 9:00 A.M. (usually 1-2 hours) and 1:00 P.M. (usually 2-3 hours)
• falls asleep pretty good in the car
• starting to pull up in a crawling position
• still pretty needy in the evenings but very easy to entertain
• has just the best belly laughs! Especially at his brother!
