Seventh Month

Development

All along I've been impressed how strong he is. He tries to sit up when he's reclined in car seat, which shows off his hard abs. I'm impressed with his muscle tone -- as a baby! I never expected that.

Layette

Still wearing onesies under footed rompers. He still wears 3-6 month for some items, but has moved on to 6-9 month for a few others.

Feeding

He eats more food now (more volume, and more variety of fruits and vegetables). He decided that he prefers spoon this month. One day he woke up, he didn't want to nurse (a big change!), and he didn't want a bottle (normal), so we finally offered him cereal with a spoon, and that was it. Spoons used to be weird for food delivery, and then he woke up one day and spoons were it. Just like that.

Sleeping

He still doesn't sleep through the night, but sometimes he's up only once to feed, and I can usually set down awake. Then he had a growth spurt. sigh

Furniture

The Intelli-tainer is an important tool to (allow us to) fix dinner, while his high chair is important for meal times (both his and ours).
