7 Months Old

I can't believe our little baby is 7 months old already.  He has progressed so much in just one month.  He says "mama" and "dada" and it seems like he's starting to equate that to Brad and me.  He crawls, pulls himself up on things very well now, and can easily go from laying to sitting and then to crawling.  He still smiles at strangers but will kind of shy away now.  He has kind of gotten to the separation anxiety stage where he will sometimes cry when we leave the room.  He still has no teeth, but we occassionally let him try to finger feed himself soft foods.  He responds to "no" and his own name.  He will sometimes scream to get attention or when he's frustrated or bored.  He goes down for bed at night around 8:30 and will wake up between 7:30 and 8am.  He naps twice a day for about 2.5 hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon.  He eats baby food twice a day and four 6-8 ounce bottles.  He quickly went from wearing 6-9 month pants to 12 month...they are a little long, but the 9 month pants are too short.  Brad and I love going into his room after he wakes up, because he gets the biggest smile on his face.  That's one of my favorite things, along with him slowly drifting off to sleep in my arms and hearing him laugh.  He's a little bundle of joy and we love him to the moon and back!
