Seven Month PhotoShoot...

Here are just a few pics from today ...

Here he is in the morning before school. He looks like he's about to take off any minute, but alas nothing yet!

Here's the famed glove shot...he's still able to sit in the glove, it actually fits him quite perfectly. This may be the first picture where I'm able to see a bit of Dan in Alexander.

Then we figured we'd let him try out the bat & ball. He looks like he means business here. Get back to work...

Seven Months...

I'll update with the Seven Month Pictures as soon as I take them (and be on the lookout for yet another glove shot)

Developmental:
-Sits up by himself and can even reach for objects around him
-Holding a bottle on his own
-His hair is slowing growing in
-Definitely finding his voice (grunting, babbling, saying dahhh dahh dahh and diii diii diii)
-Just recently (past couple of days) will do this new face & noise when he's getting frustrated and it's absolutely hilarious (see video below)
-Rolls over both front: back and back: front
-Loves standing and pulling himself to a standing position when holding onto someone's hands
-Not crawling yet but can move himself in 360* on the floor & in his crib
-No teeth yet but loves to chew on anything
-Doesn't use his binky as much except when sleeping or really fussy, otherwise he's content to put his hands in his mouth or anything else he can get a hold of
-Picks up his binky and puts it in his mouth correctly
-Sleeps on his back, stomach & side - depends on how he rolls/moves
-Still wheezes but the doctor doesn't know from what or why - we're keeping an eye on it...
-He still loves to play with my hair
-He's getting to be a even better cuddly baby
-Loves to bat things around that are in front or above him

Sleeping:
Sleeping hasn't changed all that much
-Typical wake up time is 5a, but there are some mornings where he'll sleep til 6a.
-He sleeps in his crib and occasionally, in the mornings, will come in and lie down with us as we're waking up
-During the day he will take 2-3 naps, usually one long nap (anywhere from 1-3 hours)
-Bedtime is around 7p and most nights goes down without a problem.
-He has a tendency to have his coughing episodes between 10-11pm but it doesn't happen every night. And when he does cough, he's able to sleep through it.

Clothes:
-Wearing Size 3-6 & 6 Months. 6 Months pants are too big but 3/6 Months are too short. Overall almost everything fits him well
-Some 3-6 month pj's are too tight in the feet however he can wear Size 3 Month Onesies
-Still has yet to duplicate an outfit to school
-Organized his jam-packed closet to put all of his 6 Months clothes up front
-Diapers: Size 2/3 Swaddlers

Feeding:
-5-6 bottles a day (24 oz - 32 oz per day)
-Morning bottle before school (~6 oz)
-3 bottles at school (6 oz) and if he's extra hungry/fussy he'll have a small 4 oz bottle for late afternoon but he doesn't always have that one
-Last bottle (4-6 oz) at bedtime, around 7p
-We've been having carrots & applesauce and he loves the both. He's also had some prunes and he seems to like prunes.
-We've tried cereal but that made him sick, but we're not sure if that was bad timing because he had shots earlier that day.
