7 Months Old! (Wednesday)

Drake is now closer to a year old than he is to being a baby! I am not happy about this, but at the same time it's great to see him grow. It's amazing to see all the lightbulbs going off for him. He:

-Rolls all over, with a purpose. For example, if you put a toy he wants nearby, he will roll and scoot until he gets it.
-Is close to crawling, but can't quite get his fat little legs up underneath him. We are enjoying the last little bit of his immobility.
-Drinks water from a sippy cup
-Is weaned to only 4 bottles a day, but still nurses whenever he wants.
-Is still being breastfed! I'm proud of this one. I intend to let him self-wean.
-Is very vocal and laughs at everything.
-Is starting to pay a lot more attention to the sign language we use with him.
-Enjoys oatmeal for breakfast, and veggies with lunch and dinner. He hates carrots.
-Sleeps about 10-12 hours a night. He may wake up once, but we just let him fuss a couple of minutes until he goes back to sleep.
-Is becoming a lot more consistent with his feeding and napping routine

A weight update is coming next week!
