Andrew {7 months}

7 months is such a fun age! Andrew has really become so much more playful and mobile and he's such a happy little guy it's even better :) I tried to keep up with my list this month but only kept track of a couple things. So with his mobility he's really gotten better at getting up in the crawl position and is now starting to move his knees forward and then he'll fall/lunge forward towards what he's trying to get at. He can't quite get his arms to move yet though. He's still moving in circles and backwards really well and is moving and rolling himself all over the place. He has a walker and is starting to "walk" backwards in that as well :)

In other accomplishments...he can now hold his own bottle and drinks water as well as breastmilk :) He's also eating anything he can get in his mouth, lots of different baby food and depending on what we're eating, some of our food too. He LOVES food and gets So excited when you come at him with food or put it on his plate. And he loves feeding himself too...he loves puffs and bananas and bits of pancakes. He's such a big boy! I don't know how much he weighs but I think it's probably fairly close to last month. He's a lot more mobile so he's starting to keep level. :) He still has the two teeth but I'm waiting any day now for a new one to come in....he's been SO drooly lately! so fun....

I honestly can't remember much of what we've been up to the past month with the wee boy but right now we are currently in Missouri visiting Grammy and Grandpa and the rest of the fam! Andrew went on his first airplane ride to get here and did fairly well. The first flight he slept then we rushed to our connecting flight and he did pretty well on that one til the end where he was tired and wouldn't go to sleep. Luckily the people behind us had a toddler and a baby too so they all entertained each other and we got through the flight together ;) The fam loves him of course...he's such a great baby, goes to pretty much anybody unless he's hungry, then I feed him and off he goes to someone else or plays. He's sitting up all by himself with no help/no wobblies/hardly any falling over, which is SO nice! He can sit and play while I'm doing something. 

Anywho, I love how happy this kid is and sweet and adorable. He sure loves his Momma though, which I love :) And last night we Skyped with his daddy and he got all excited when he saw him. so cute! :) He's babbling pretty good and doing a lot of m's so maybe he''ll be saying Momma soon ;)

Sorry there's no pictures this post....I don't have any uploaded on dad's computer so when I get home I'll update this post with pictures of the boy, he's still a major cutie! :)
