Dear Peanut – you love food! You went from only wanting breastmilk to devouring everything we put in front of you. You are also growing up too fast. One day you are learning how to sit up by yourself, the next day you are ready to start crawling. Soon enough you’ll be running marathons.

SEVEN MONTHS
SLEEP
Your sleep during the day is pretty good. You take a quick nap on the morning car ride and then 2-3 naps at daycare. However once the sun goes down, you turn into a different little boy. It starts with the car ride home. You used to sleep peacefully until we got home, now you just cry nonstop. Then when it is bedtime you fall asleep with no issues, however you wake up crying a few times during the night and nothing can stop you but your paci and being held.
EAT
Instead of doing just purees or just baby led weaning (BLW), we decided to do both and (knock on wood) it works for us! It took you a couple weeks to get the hang of it, but once your interest peaked there was no stopping you. So far you’ve tried: avocado, sweet potato, banana, eggs, oatmeal, black beans, pumpkin, broccoli, and Trader Joe’s Bambas.
Your favorites?
Avocado, sweet potato, TJ’s bambas, and broccoli (yup, broccoli!!).
Its been fun watching you explore new foods. The face you do when you try something new is priceless! Yet one month in and the one complain I have is:
YOU ARE ONE MESSY EATER, BUDDY!
MILESTONES
sitting & (almost) crawling
A few of days ago you couldn’t sit for longer than 5 seconds. Today, you can sit up all by yourself!
Also any time we set you down on your tummy, you immediately get into crawling position and push yourself backwards!
YOU LOVE
spending time with luna!
