Grant turned seven months old last Thursday. The biggest change in his development since his six month birthday is his ability to sit up independently now and boy, has that changed both of our lives! He can now sit up and play with his toys and entertain himself for hours. Also, Grant babbles and tries to talk ALOT. He says byebyebyebye and some sort of sounds bunched up together that sounds like "I love you." Oh, a Mother can dream...
Grant has a great appetite. He eats rice and a fruit in the mornings and a vegetable and a fruit in the afternoons. I have actually started making his baby food in hopes that it might be a bit healthier without all of the added perservatives and cheaper but it is extremely time consuming. He's also doing very well with his transition into formula feeding. He drinks 6 ounces four times a day. 7, 11, 3, 7. He takes two naps a day. The first, two hours after he wakes and the second around 2pm. He's on a pretty great schedule and has become predictable which is a welcome blessing!
Grant is very tickelish, I get the biggest kick out of tickeling his belly and listening to him laugh. He has a wonderful personality and is very friendly to everyone. Luckily we have not gone through the phase where he only wants "Mama."
Grant drools constantly. I have to put a bib on him almost all the time now because he soaks through whatever he's wearing. He's been showing signs of teething for months now but that first tooth has been mighty stubborn. Overall, he's growing up way too fast. I am so in love with this little guy I find it difficult to put into words. Ron and I are loving being his parents!
Grant has great hand-eye coordination. He can grab almost anything and switch it from hand to hand. He still puts everything in his mouth (and I mean EVERYTHING!)
Still too little for his highchair...
Grant loves his walker and will not stay away from our trashcan.
He pushes it all over the kitchen trying to grab a hold of it, it's actually very entertaining!
Playtime! This is where we spend the majority of our day.
Such a sweet boy, but such a droolbucket!
He has got to be the cutest baby in Alabama! He looks so tiny in his little highchair. I miss him already! Can't wait to spend time with you at Georgeann's wedding soon.
