SEVEN

Bruce is 7 months old today! He laughs and smiles all the time but it doesn't show in the pictures.
He is too cute!
Communication
Bruce jabbers all the time and hardly stays quiet. He jabbers while he eats, while he's trying to go to sleep, he jabbers in his sleep and every where else. It's very cute. He now says two syllable "words". Agoo has now become gagoo. And our favorite jabber: dadada or dada.
He also has very good comprehension skills. He understands the command "hands down," he reaches up when he wants out of his highchair or if he wants to be picked up. And he knows the word "no." We practice teaching him manners while he is eating and he now knows not to touch his food bowl, and to keep his fingers out of his mouth. I love teaching him things and watching him try to understand. He is such a smart little boy. I am also starting sign language, but I've read they don't do the signs back until 9 months.


Diet

Bruce eats 3 solid meals a day and has one last bottle before he goes to bed. He is no longer on breast milk and drinks formula instead. Ever since we made this switch he has slept a solid 10 - 12 hours at night. I LOVE formula. NO, seriously I love it. His favorite foods are sweet potatoes, carrots and apples. He dislikes peas, green beans and banana's.

Physical Activity

Nothing new to report here except he is a lot better at sitting, he's on all fours all of the time and scoots around nicely. He mouths everything including the dogs ears. Oh wait there is something new to report. He finally rolls over from back to front! About stinkin time.

Bruce goes to the doctors tomorrow so we will post his stats then.

Babies get big too fast! Eric and I went to Hawaii and brought Dane with us when he was 7 months old. It's a fun stage when they are sitting up, but not quite fully mobile yet. Enjoy it before the madness starts.
