We celebrated Nathan's 7 month mark with colds for everyone. We were a miserable lot. Then, Nathan had to one up us and started throwing up. Everywhere. There were literally puddles in his crib. And then he started dry heaving. Poor little guy. Luckily a bath and some cuddles made him a feel a little bit better.
There were plenty of good milestones though to celebrate at 7 months such as:
- This kid loves to move. He's a little spastic with his arm flaying, body twisting, and leg kicking, but it's pretty fun to watch.
- He's gaming up for crawling. He's already really good at moving around his crib, but he's starting to lift himself onto his hands and knees.
- He has a new found fascination for his feet. They are his new favorite thing. He loves to grab onto his toes and, like everything else he can get into his hands, he starts sucking on them.
- We started fruits and veggies while we were in Utah for Christmas. I just bought baby food from the store and Nathan seemed to think they were ok. When I tasted them they seemed a little bitter. Perhaps it was the brand. Now that we're home I started making him homemade baby food and he loves it. He kinda dives in for bites of food. He's tried sweet potatoes, peas, butternut squash, pears, peaches, and apples. He isn't really a fan of prunes however.
- His curiosity has grown so much! I love seeing him being much more interested in everything around him.
- Bathtime has taken on new excitement since he can now pull himself up to sit in the baby bathtub. He likes swishing his hands in the bubbles. Also, he's decided it's pretty awesome to splash mom.
- Nathan got a jumperoo for Christmas and he goes crazy in it. It looks like he is doing a jig since he has to click his heels together every time he jumps. Brad thinks he looks like a puppet on strings when he bounces.
- He is finally getting good at putting himself to sleep. He usually plays for a little bit, decides to suck on his fingers, and then drifts into dreamland. I'm loving it.
