7 months

 Here's Jack at 7 months!  He is happy and full of life!  He is sleeping through the night now.  Eric spent a couple nights sleep training him so he would get used to not nursing during the night.  He responded so well and is sleeping great.


Jack started eating rice cereal and baby food this past month and he likes it all.   Occasionally EJ will offer to feed him and it's quite funny.  Jack adores EJ and EJ is very sweet to Jack.

Here's a shot of his first tooth.  You may have to zoom in to see it but it's there.  Let's just say he's not afraid to use it!  Nothing quite prepares you for getting bit while nursing.  I am trying to teach him not to do it but he's been a slow learner on that front.

I am grateful he hasn't started crawling yet.  He pushes up on all fours but hasn't started rocking yet.  He likes to stand and EJ is the perfect height to hold him.  He wears 9 mo/12 mo clothes and is in the 90th percentile all around.  We grow 'em big around here.

Standing in his baby shoes.  Baby shoes are the best!

Here he is at the beach.  Now that he is sitting up well he can sit on the sand.  You can see some of it made it's way to his mouth but he didn't seem to mind. 

We are so grateful for this little guy and the joy he brings to our family!  We are looking forward to the fun fall and winter holidays coming up.
