Nathan at 7 Months!

Our Tor-Nate-O is 7 months old. That is more than half a year! Unfortunately, he has had a fever all day today and has wanted to spend the day sleeping while I hold him (I didn't mind that part one bit, especially since both big brothers were at school - more on this crazy illness in another post). A lot has changed for Nathan this month and he is really seeming older. About 3 weeks ago he started getting two teeth on the bottom and they are now all the way through and getting longer by the minute. So cute! He continues to be a super sweet and smiley baby who goes with the flow in this crazy house.

New Skills:
getting better at scooting every day and pushes up really high when on his tummy
eats all kinds of solid food now and can even pick up and feed himself cheerios
can pass and object from one hand to the other
loves to make silly sounds with his hands against his mouth
seems to be saying mama and dada
has slept all night 11 or 12 hours several nights (although rarely consecutive)

Favorite Things:
playing in his exersaucer
eating bananas, apple sauce, sweet potatoes, peas, cheerios and avocado
having his belly tickled or blown on
chewing on rubbery toys
his maracas
tricks with Dad

We love Nate so very much and are so glad he is part of our family. I wish I could slow down time just a little bit because he is at such a fun age! Won't be long and we will have a crawler in our house and my life will get even a little bit busier!
