Theo is doing really well. I can’t believe he’s 7 months already! He is sitting up very well – still needing pillows around him and to be supervised, of course, but he’s strong. He likes to stand on your lap, or holding onto something. He loves peek-a-boo and being lifted high up in the air. He still plays in his exersaucer and jumperoo daily. He laughs and giggles a lot. Especially during tickles and peek-a-boo and when I sing badly to him.
He sleeps pretty well. Goes to sleep around 7-7:30 each night and doesn’t usually wake until about 6:30 in the morning. Sometimes he wakes at night and whines back to sleep, or we need to soothe/nurse him. His naps are up and down. Sometimes they are great, 1-2 hour naps twice/day @ 8:30/9am and @ 12:30/1 each afternoon, and sometimes they are not so great. We are still trying to figure this out. Mostly trying to break the swing habit.
He has been eating solids every day for the past few weeks. Mostly pears and sweet potatoes so far. He has tried avocado and liked it and I made him homemade brown rice cereal (Super Porridge!) that he also really likes and I plan to make for him regularly. We are ready to move on to some new foods. We have been doing the 3-day wait rule (introducing a single food each time) to make sure he doesn’t have any reactions. So far, so good.
Tomorrow is our first day of swimming class! We will be going for the next 10 weeks. I am really excited. I hope he likes it!
