Jack at 7 Months

** You are now 20.5 lbs and over 28 inches...still a big boy - In the 92nd percentile for height and 80th for weight. Your head is humongous and is in the 85th percentile.

** You have gotten so big the baby swings motor finally stopped working from the excessive weight.

** You eat a tablespoon of rice cereal in the morning (soon it will be oatmeal...much better) and a half a jar of baby food in the evening. You will eat ANYTHING!

** You drink water out of a sippy cup...sometimes too much comes out and you start to cough/choke and you make a funny face. It's pretty cute.

** You sleep from 8:30 pm to 7:30-8:00 am....and I am still very thankful for your sleep habits.

** You hold your own bottle now, although you have a tendency to play with it while feeding and it gets all over your face.

** You are in the beginning phase of scooting to get where you want to be. It seems that you know what you are supposed to do with your legs, but not quite what you are supposed to do to get your arms moving. So you just kind of projectile your way across the floor.

** You do not like to sit and be still for as long of periods as you used to. In fact, you do not like it much at all and are always trying to move.

** You bounce up and down when you are on your legs.

** You still do not have any teeth....or hardly any hair.

** You have started trying to break (or create) the world record for loudest/strongest raspberries and you are very cute when you spit all over your father trying to do this.

** You just took your first plane ride and had your first vacation in Wisconsin. You did very well on the plane, especially because any time you started to make noise, we stuck a bottle in your mouth and that always helps.
