Seven Months

Our baby boy is seven months old today!!! He is growing and changing everyday!

He can sit up really well now. He started sitting in the shopping cart at the store this month. This has really made shopping fun for him and me! He looks so cute sitting in the basket. He draws a lot of attention when we are out and about. His red hair attracts lots of looks and compliments. The cheeks and smile don't hurt him either.

Wade now bathes in the big bath tub. It make a lot less mess and gives him more room to kick and splash. Sitting up makes lots of things easier including bath time.
Wade has really started using and exploring with his hands. He grabs everything in sight, and what he grabs he likes to eat!! On the eating front, he loves to eat anything and everything. He gets excited and impatient when I put him in his highchair. I can't feed him fast enough! Meal times are still his favorite times of the day.
Sleep. Well, sleep is not something Wade does a lot of. His naps are about thirty minutes long which does not leave a lot of time to get things done. When he is awake he likes to be held and entertained. He does play in his toys, but usually for only about 15 minutes. He might be doing a little better at night though. He goes to bed between nine and ten and wakes up between seven and eight. He needs some help finding his pacifier during the night sometimes though.

Look at all those teeth!!! There are seven of them!! Now when he smiles they really show up. Along with all the teeth come drool, drool, drool. It is a real challenge to keep his shirt dry even with a plastic bib.
The surgery on his little eye did not work. :0( We are still having the same problems. The doctor wants to do the surgery again before he is 10 months.
Thanks to Kate walking out the door I got this sweet little picture above.
Wade also enjoys going for walks in the stroller, being sang to, and watching the dogs. With the weather getting warmer, he likes to be outside in his swing or walker.

We just love this little red headed boy to pieces!!!
