7 months

I think that the 6-7 month age is my favorite so far.  He is just so much fun right now!!  I cannot believe how big he has gotten.  We met our little niece Charley last weekend, and she is only 4 weeks old.  I almost forgot just how small they are when they are newborns!  It really seems like ages ago that Grayson was that small.  Sad. :(  BUT, I love this age!

He is now able to sit up like a champ.  He really perfected this while we were in Kansas City.  He is still rolling across the whole room.  He also can now pull up on his knees and is rocking back and forth.    I have a feeling we will have a crawler before we know it.  He is interested in absolutely EVERYTHING around him so he tries his hardest to get into anything he can.  

Grayson's 7 month stats:

Height: ??

Weight:  I would guess around 20 lbs...he's heavy I know that!!

Eyes: I'm adding this in because I think it's safe to say his eyes are going to stay blue...yea!  My one contribution to this child :)

Diapers: Size 3 and wearing an overnight diaper at nights

Clothes:  Wears 9 month jammies, 6-9 month clothes, and 9-12 month onesies/rompers  (In his 7 month pictures he has on an 18 month white onesie...that's normal for a 7 month old right??)

Shoes:  Size 1 or newborn shoes.   I hardly ever put shoes on him though.  Jason thinks I'm raising a hippie, but his feet are too hot in this 105 degree weather!

Hair is still growing right down the middle.  He rocks the faux hawk.   I have had several people ask me at what age I cut his hair.  Really people?  

Eating:  Eats about 25-30 ounces of formula a day (finished breastfeeding around 6 and a half months). He is now having 3 meals a day of baby food that I make at home in the food processor.  So far he has had:  carrots, green peas, green beans (hates them!!  Don't blame him one bit, they're disgusting), sweet potatoes, butternut squash, broccoli, peaches, bananas, pears, mangoes, and avocado.  I could be missing a few.  He's also had chicken, turkey, and beef meals from the jar of Earth's Best.  Loves the chicken and turkey, hated the beef.  Made a horrible face.  

He is almost ready to graduate from his bucket seat.  The seat weighs about 7-8 pounds, then add in his 20lbs, and it is HEAVY for me to carry around!!  Plus, he really doesn't like sitting in there anymore when we go places.  I am also afraid he is going to break it and we won't be able to use it for future siblings of his!  He does this thing where he takes the canopy and pulls it all the way forward, then mashes it down with his feet.  He's definitely all boy.  This is what I'm talking about:
I think he just gets bored, and this is what he's come up with to pass time

He's started to finally enjoy books! 

I'm screwed.  Look at this kid.  


Give me some food.



Still obsessed with Mickey!

Feeding himself peaches







Get this sticker off!!


That face just kills me!!



Crosses his legs ALL the time!
