7 months (Luke)

This was a BIG month for Luke.  He can do so many new things!

• He is sitting up unassisted and can get up and sit on his own from any position.
• He is crawling…not army crawling or scooting, but really crawling.  He is fast too!
• He can pull up to stand on anything (couch, crib, mommy and daddy, etc).  He loves to stand up!
• Luke even took a few steps while holding onto the couch.  We can’t believe all of this is happening so soon!  He’s not acting like a baby anymore…he’s such a big boy.
• He doesn’t really like drinking formula anymore.  He’d much prefer to eat baby food (or real food for that matter).  We pretty much have to force him to take a bottle, just so he gets the nutrients he needs.
• He still only has the two bottom teeth.
• He’s wearing 9-12 month clothes and has even been able to wear some 12-18 month things. He’s wearing size 4 diapers like his sister.
• He sleeps in his crib until about 4 usually.  He wakes up hungry, but will make it until 6ish if daddy puts him on his chest.
• Luke loves playing with all of Gwynn’s toys. Gwynn doesn’t like this at all. His favorite thing to do is crawl over and knock down her blocks.  She gets so mad! 
• Mrs. Ouida said he doesn’t sleep much at daycare at all…he likes to be in the middle of all the action. In fact, he sleeps less than Gwynn does. She also told us that he “eats like a horse.” Looks like we have another good eater!
