Henry is 7 months old!

Henry, you are seven months old! You are changing every day and learning new things.

You are starting to Army crawl and roll to get to things. Yesterday I saw you get up on your knees for a few seconds for the first time! I'm in no hurry to see you crawl because we are going to have to do some massive baby-proofing, especially some of Wyatt's little toys!

You are such a good eater. You eat breakfast, lunch and supper now. The foods you have eaten so far are banana, applesauce, applesauce with oatmeal and cinnamon, sweet potato, avocado, blueberries with bananas, banana puffs, pancakes, and Ritz crackers. You like to sit in the high chair now at home, but not so much at restaurants!

You like to jump in the jumpy chair, and you like to play in the activity center. I think you've just started to notice the dogs now.

You light up when you see your brother, and when he is running around wild and crazy, you think it's hilarious!

I love you, my brown-eyed boy! You are such a sweetie!

Sleep...

At the risk of jinxing myself, I just have to write a little post about this wonderful thing called sleep. Lately Henry has been a little fussy, and we think we have figured out that he is overly tired. So last night he was starting to get crabby so I rocked him to sleep, but when I went to lay him down he woke up. I had to get Wyatt ready for bed, so I left him awake (not crying) in his bassinet. I checked on him 5 minutes later and he was back asleep! So great. Tonight he nursed to sleep, but two hours earlier than normal. I think he's been tired! I was able to go get groceries by myself after the kiddos were asleep! It may seem silly, but it's the little bits of "mommy" time that keep me sane. Now we just need to get Henry to be happy when we go out to eat and not scream the whole time! :)
