7 Months Old

You will be 7 months old this week. I can't believe you're that old! We went to the doctor today for a check-up. Here are your stats:

Height: 26.5 in. (75%)
Weight: 16 lbs. 1 oz. (50%)
Head Circum: 17 in. (75%)

You were so wiggly today at the doctor's office. You definitely didn't want to hold still to get measured or checked in anyway. However, you were absolutely delighted by the paper on the exam table. You kicked and crinkled that paper until it was all wrinkled!

You've been hesitant to eat solid foods. I've tried feeding you several different kinds of baby food that I made, but you didn't like it so much. Just recently you've started tolerating rice cereal and squash. I just discovered yesterday that you LOVE pears. You gobble those right up. We'll keep exploring new foods!

We have a few nicknames for you, including Paigers, Pow-Pow, Baby Paige, Princess, Little Girl, Munchkin. We also call you all sorts of endearing names like cupcake, sugar, punkin, etc. We call you all sorts of sweet names.

You can crawl really well, so you're all over the place now grabbing anything you can get your hands on. You particularly like anything electronic (cell phones, computers, remote controls, power cords), chapstick, and things that make noise. You also love sucking on things made out of paper, and can quickly demolish a magazine or something else we leave within reach.

You also make all kinds of sounds. You blow raspberries, scrunch up your face and blow out your nose, babble, and scream in a very high pitched tone. The screaming isn't so fun, but everything else is delightful.

One of the best things about you is that you're pretty easy going, and a very chill baby. You aren't very fussy, and rarely get upset.

We just love having you around!
