7 Months

Now that we are almost to his 8 month birthday I figured I should get on top of posting his 7th month update!

*At 7 months old Little Red has now been on 4 airplanes! We did quite a bit of traveling in January and he is an awesome flier! He gave big smiles to everyone on the plane, got his own pair of honorary wings and even helped serve passengers while being toted around by his favorite flight attendants.

*Solids are a huge thumbs up with Red. So much so that it is a daily struggle to get him to drink milk. All he wants is big boy food and whatever is on Mommy's plate. He has two little bottom teeth that he likes to munch on baby Cheetos with.

*Redfeather is absolutely the most joyful person in the whole world. His belly laughs are seriously the best!

*We have a crawler ladies and gents! Little Red army crawls all over the place now. It's hard for me to take my eyes off of him even just for a second. Off he goes!


*RJ is also beginning to pull-up onto things. This is exciting but also extremely scary. He had his very first "boo-boo." Red pulled himself up on a wall and didn't know how to get down. He chose face-dive as his best bet and went right into a vent covering. Pretty sure I cried more than he did. Sliced eyebrow and a black eye; no stitches though! Since then we have lowered the crib mattress and purchased quite a few baby gates!

*12 month clothing is Red's jam right now. I am so sad, we have so many adorable baby clothes that Red never got to wear because he grew way too fast.

*Little John loves to play the guitar with Daddy. He will bob his head and kick his feet when he hears a song he likes. He especially likes wiggling and dancing while sitting in the shopping cart at the grocery store.

*All day RJ is babbling and talking to himself. Whenever Shane is around Red gets really excited and says "DADADADADADA" over and over again. It's to die for! So far he only says "MMaaaaaaaaMMaaaaa!" when it's in-between cries.

*His sleeping schedule got a little messed up when we were traveling. But now that we are home I am able to get him back to sleeping better. He is still sleeping through the night, but naps have been a trouble.

Every day I watch him learn something new. It is so amazing to teach this little human and watch him learn from our examples. He's so bright and I am so incredibly lucky that he is ours! Love you little bug!
