Dallin- 7 Months



I swear it is harder and harder to believe the number I type in every month. SEVEN months?? Really? We've had this little gem of a guy around for 7 months already? But then, you can tell he really isn't a little baby anymore, which means he must be doing the inevitable- getting older.

-He eats 3+ jars of baby food everyday and usually some oatmeal too. His interest in bottles decreases daily, but he still manages to eat about 5 a day.

-He has not fussed in his car seat in a long time! Granted, we haven't made any long trips in a while, but what a joy it is to have him happy in the car!

-He is VERY mobile. He may not be crawling yet, but that doesn't mean he's not mobile. He can roll or slither his way anywhere. You turn your head for a split second and he is halfway across the room. If he wants to get something or somewhere, you can bet it will happen, and fast.

-He is officially a sitter but doesn't usually stay sitting for very long because he wants to move!

-He still has only 4 teeth but the top 2 are starting to bud so I imagine this post next month, he will be up to 6.

-He loves toys. If you give him a few, he tries to get them all in his hands at once. But he does not fuss when someone (cough Evan cough) takes a toy from him. I hope this can last!

-He loves books but it is very hard to read to him because he grabs everything. The best books for him and ones he cannot rip and can chew.

-He loves the bath. If Evan gets in the bath before him, he is literally jumping out of your arms to get in too.

-He fights sleep if he is super tired but he has also gotten to the point that most of the time you can just lay him down and will fall asleep without and fussing.

-He is well aware of the function of vocal chords. He screams all the time. Not crying or mad, just screaming. He babbles, buzzes, spits, anything he can figure out with his mouth.

He is such a good boy- really. And when he smiles (which is all time) his whole face lights up and you can't help but return it (that is, if you have a heart). He has a lot of people wrapped around his little finger, just as it should be. We absolutely adore our little Dallin boy!
