7 Months

This little man is growing up! He's 7 months old!

He is a champion sitter-upper and will roll and twist and scoot to get things out of his reach. Soon he'll be crawling.....that means trouble for me!

He is OBSESSED with cups. If somebody has a cup, his little arms will shoot straight out and he will twirl his wrists and make noises and try will all his might to get that cup. He also loves any cords/string, plastic bags and phones. Pretty much everything a baby shouldn't have. 

He says "Oh!" and "ooooooo" a lot, especially when he's trying to get something. 

He loves his food and eats an entire container 2-3 times a day. If you don't shovel the food in his mouth fast enough, he gets all upset. He's the fastest eater I've ever seen! Such a little piggy. 

He still hate rice cereal and oatmeal, won't even touch the stuff. He purses his lips closed and will not open them for anything. I have to mix the dry oatmeal flakes into his dinner and he'll take it, but will not have the rice at all. 

He's still an awful sleeper at night, but takes two good 1-2 hour naps in the day. 

This little boy loves to be tickled! When I say "Arms up!" and put his arms above his head, he instantly starts to squeal because he knows he's about to get tickled. 

Some kids have a favorite blankie or toy or something to help them fall asleep..... Kruse's toy is my hair. He plays with it (well more like pulls it out of my head) when he's falling asleep and if he wakes up when I lay him down, I have to let him play with it while he's in his crib to help him go back to sleep. It's craziness. He is also obsessed with eating it and always will sneak a piece in his mouth and suck on it. It's so gross!

He will try to imitate noises we make and is getting pretty good at it. He growls and is always making noise.
