Well, here we are at 7 months. If we're honest, this last month has been kind of a tough one. Just when we thought Baby Boy was getting some teeth (bottom fang teeth to be precise), they stalled out. So, we've got more teething coming up. His reflux is back, so he's back on Prevacid. And, his sleep has taken a sharp nosedive and crash landed in flames, but we're working on that. We actually started sleep training two nights ago, and saw some drastic improvements last night -- Milo slept over 12 hours straight in his crib! Unless it was a fluke. We'll see... Milo's an eating machine with cereal and fruit in the morning plus a jar food at lunch and dinner. He likes everything so far except peaches (but I tried the baby food peaches, and I wouldn't have eaten them either) He babbles all the time -- ba-ba-ba is his favorite, and he can now say Mama. Which is cute (unless it's during sleep training and he's standing at the side of his crib with arms outstretched wailing "Mamaaaaaaa"). Oh yeah, pulling up to stand at the side of his crib is a favorite activity. Again, cute, except in the middle of the night. Oh! And the most exciting news (besides sleeping 12 hours last night) -- Milo can not only sit up on his own from his stomach, but just started crawling yesterday. It's not pretty crawling, more like pulling himself with one leg with the other leg tucked underneath him, but it gets the job done. There are lots more pictures -- swim class, the park, Milo's first Cardinals baseball game (which they actually won somehow), and seven month portraits. Enjoy!
