This Little Life.: 7-Months-Old!

Little man is getting to be not-so-little anymore. Sad face for mommy. But, he is starting to get such a personality and he is learning new things every day! Landon now weighs 20lbs 10.5oz. He has his two bottom front teeth, and can sit up like a champ! He is also trying very hard to crawl. He gets up on all fours, and rocks back and forth, then lunges forward and faceplants. It is quite cute, but sad for him. He also wants very badly to walk. If you let him stand up and hold your hands, he just takes off and cruises all over the place! He is such a wiggleworm and is getting harder and harder to contain by the day! Poor guy, gets so frustrated because he wants to terribly to be mobile and just can't get it yet. But it feels like in a matter of days he will figure out this crawling thing, and then there will be no stopping him! He loves to play in his walker and cruise all over the house, and especially loves to be in the kitchen while we are cooking. Landon's babble now consists of "mamamamama" and "dadadadada" which just melts my heart every time he does it! We mostly get "mama" while eating, or when hes sad or upset, and "dada" while hes playing. I guess we know what we're both good for in his mind! He is eating 5-6 containers of baby food a day, as well as getting 4-5 6oz. bottles of formula. And the boy still eats anything you put in front of him (except the meat baby foods, but I don't blame him, who would eat that anyways?). He is still waking up once at night to eat, then going right back to sleep until the morning. And he takes two naps a day, which vary in length from 30 minutes to 2 and a half hours. I'll take whatever I can get these days! That chunky man wears me out! As my mom put it, getting him dressed is "like wrestling a small animal." And its so true! He is mega wiggly and extremely strong! We joke that we should turn him green and call him our Hulk Baby. But, he is still ever-so-sweet, and melts hearts with his smiles and giggles. Oh, and he is finally getting some more hair! Its about time. It is still pretty light (some say it looks red in the sun) but I think it is going to be a light brown for now. Who knows. The boy suprises us every day!
