Our sweet little Ty Guy is already 7 months old. I can't believe how quickly the past several months have gone by. I keep thinking he is so little and a "newborn" but he is anything from that! Because we were away for his 4 month check-up, we saw the doctor at 5 months and then had to wait 2 months before he could get more shots. We just saw the doctor yesterday for his "6 month" checkup but he's actually 7 months. He weighs in at 20 pounds and he is 28 inches tall. He seems so much bigger than other babies but that is the 87% for weight and 75% for height.
He still just has that one same tooth he got right before turning 6 months old. I have been thinking the other bottom tooth is close to coming in, but it hasn't yet. He is all or none when it comes to smiling, and it is usually all. He is so happy. Even the doctor mentioned in the short time he was in the room that it seems he has a good temperament. Ty is a great baby. So happy and he loves his Momma! Whenever I walk out of the room he knows it, and lets me know it. He is also pretty fond of his sister and Daddy too.
He has started eating solid foods. He loves everything about eating, except for baby food meat. Gross! Just the smell makes me grossed out too. He gags every time I try to give it to him. I have gotten him to eat a little of it after I mixed it with a vegetable and cereal. He is still nursing and sleeping much better than after our long trip. He falls asleep on his own, as compared to falling asleep while nursing. He has two naps during the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. He still wakes up during the night once and eats. He'll usually go about 7-8 hours, eats and then sleeps another 3-4 hours. I wished he slept all through the night but that is something we can work on when I am not feeling so lazy. It is just so much easier to quickly feed him when he wakes up and then we can both go back to sleep sooner.
He can roll both directions but prefers to only roll to his left. Weird! He is sitting up alone but still has an occasional fall every now and then.
