Nelson News: Seven Months

Ryker Kay, at seven months you:

have officially found your 'boy parts'... and the fun begins
are so close to getting on all fours and staying up
are a blue eyed baby. They don't seem to change with the color of outfit you are wearing either
have figured out how to go in reverse by scooting
suck your thumb a little more than before, but you'd rather have your bink instead
made your first long car ride to Twin Falls to see your great aunt Dixie and uncle Ivan - you did awesome, with the exception of a mini hunger fit on the way there
take two 5oz bottles from your grandma's and have lunch (either a veggie/fruit or cereal) while I'm gone during the day
roll around to get places if scooting doesn't do the trick
take naps ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours, just depends on your mood and what kind of day you've had
have even more hair than you did last month! It's still up to the jury on what color it will be
are rolling around more, belly-to-back and back-to-belly
make diaper changes a chore with all your moving around, something is always catching your eye and you roll to grab whatever it is
say "ma ma mam mama" and a little "da da dada da" even though I don't think you associate those sounds with mom and dad
are the best eater! You have ate everything we've given you; carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, squash, and rice cereal. We've even given you some roasted chicken, mashed potatoes banana
are still EBF
still wake 1-2 times a night to nurse, but there are nights when you sleep till 4am, just depends on you
love to give your puppies love, and even give grandma's kitty loves too
are a happy baby! Always giggling and smiling at people, even strangers
are now in size 3 diapers
are fascinated with the vacuum. You stare at it and you even let me put the sucker on your hands
are always getting complimented on what a GREAT baby you are - it's justification to what mom and dad have been saying since you were born :)
love to pull the cord to turn the light on at Grandma's house, you're so pleased with yourself
have a ticklish back
love to hold/eat diaper wipes.. I don't know if it's the cold or the taste, but I can give you one if you're fussing and you settle right down
still don't have teeth, but you've been teething a lot lately
love the bath. You stick your face in the water and suck on your washcloth
are outgrowing your 6mo clothes. We've had to pack some of the smaller outfits away and pull out some 9mo stuff. Tears..
amaze mommy and daddy every day - you are growing like a weed, you're smart and so silly. We still wonder what we did to deserve such an amazing baby. These have been the best 7 months we could have ever imagined! We love you sweet boy!
