Happy 7 Month Birthday

Happy 7 Month Birthday to Julian!!! As many of you have already read from my previous posts, Julian has accomplished so much in the past month. Could I be any prouder??? Impossible! I am just so happy to have a beautiful healthy & HAPPY baby boy that makes us so happy on a daily basis.  Whether he reaches many milestones or no milestones, we will always be proud to call him our son.

At 7 months, Julian...
  • Weighs approximately 25 lbs
  • Wears 12 month clothes and size 4 diapers
  • Drinks 30 ozs. of formula (decreased milk amount and still manages to gain weight - Sorry, kid!)
  • Eats baby food twice a day
  • Mastered sitting unassisted and flipping back and forth on tummy (Did I say how proud I am?!)
  • Got his FIRST tooth (1 down, 19 to go!)
  • Crawling has now turned into creeping (Drags his body without physically using his knees. Whats the difference? ~ A baby creeps to get the toy that is across the room, while a baby crawls to get across a room.)
  • Can stand while holding onto objects. Standing unassisted is a work in progress (we go back and forth on this one)
  • Has learned to use the walker very well
  • Loves to bounce
  • Loves to be read & sung to
  • Sleeps from 8:00pm - 7:30am (I love you for this!!!)
  • Wakes up with a smile every morning (OUR favorite)
  • Very ticklish :)
  • Kiwi loves Julian and Julian loves Kiwi (sorry Tuna ~ Mommy still loves you!)
  • Has mastered holding bottle and putting pacifier in his mouth (Big help for mommy!)
  • Responds to his name :)
  • Babbles all the time (personal favorite)
  • Indiscriminately says "dada" (still working on "Mama")
  • Smiles all the time (all-time favorite ~ I will always have more than one favorite)
  • And everything else you do that makes us smile!!! You are one happy baby that God has blessed our lives with!
