Mr. B is a little over 17 lbs at this point....and we are hoping to get him to a healthy 19-ish lbs by his 9 month well check. We love to set goals and watch him knock them down. Preemie power baby!!! :) Love it! :)
We have made a lot of changes between Months 6 and 7 in Brant's world..and he has done awesome with all of them. Here is what is going on with Brant at Month 7:
1) He moved into 9 month clothes and he is rocking those out. :) So different to have a child that is in clothes that match his age. We did not experience that with our first born. :) I think he was in 24 month clothing by his one year bday. Crazy to think that I can buy Brant clothes in advance and I am 99% sure that he can wear them. :)
2) We took him out of the swaddle this past month and were worried he would not sleep as well. After a couple of nights "swaddle-less" he proved us wrong. Of course. :) Now he just rolls right over on his stomach and passes out. That is probably what he wanted months ago-HA! :)
3) He grubs up baby food like a champ. Don't think he LOVES it as much as Braden did....but then again I am not sure it would be fair for us to have two kids that ate as well as Braden did in the first year of life! HA! :) He seems to be really into carrots and bananas but he has tried lots more: sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, ham, turkey, beef, prunes, apples, pears, peaches, etc. We have all kinds of good homemade food on the list coming up as well....broccoli, spinach, asparagus, kiwi, avocado, etc. YUM! :)
4) He has been loving life in the exersaucer and just playing with toys on the floor much more now. We have started to move away from the bouncy seats, swings, etc. Nice to be able to use new toys!! :)
5) He kicks his legs like crazy when he is on his stomach...so I am waiting for him to try to put them up under himself in the next few months...and think about crawling. :)
6) He is a really good sitter now. He has moved from being folded in half and prop sitting....to having great posture and using his hands to play when he sits. :) FUN!
7) No teeth just yet but he is a drooling machine....wow, lots of saliva going on there. :) We get teeth late in our family...so we might not have any coming out for a few more months.
8) He laughs loud now which is AWESOME!! He loves to interact with other kids and is just an all around VERY happy baby. I feel so blessed to have had two very smiley boys. I cannot get enough of that smile. :)
9) He is starting to drink water....and he makes the crazy face when it is cold. And then he gives you a big smile. :) He is a fan of it but has no clue about how to put that cup to his mouth! HA! :)
10) He is just starting to get a little bit too long for his infant carseat...so we are going to have to make that move to a convertible one in the near future. His little legs are starting to hang over the side. :) Love spending more money...woo hoo! :)
I forgot how much fun it was to watch a baby grow up in that first year....but I am so thankful to be watching it right now. Love you sweet baby Brant. You make my heart smile! :)
Being 7 months old is the BEST! :)
