7 Months Old!

Sam is 7 months old!  He's clearly on the move, as I have no good pictures of him with the 7.  He's interested in everything and wants to touch it all - preferably so he can put it in his mouth.  He's not crawling yet, but he rolls easily and can turn quickly when he's on his stomach.  He often ends up in a circle of toys in which he can turn from one to another.

Eating-wise, Sam is doing great.  He eats rice cereal or oatmeal for breakfast (after nursing), sometimes with fruit mixed in to make it more palatable.  I'm working on feeding him lunch every day, but we're out and about so often at lunchtime that it's hard to fit it in.  If we're home, he'll put away 4 ounces of baby food for lunch and then another 4-6 ounces at dinner time.  He's getting better at eating puffs, although we still have to help him get them in his mouth.  He'll tolerate almost any food, but he definitely has his favorites.  Apples and pears are most popular, as is anything else sweet.  We're afraid he's inherited his mom's sweet tooth!

Sam takes 2 great naps every day and sometimes a third.  Between nursing 5 times, eating 3 times, and napping 2 or 3 times, it's a busy day, but I'm so thankful to be home for it all.  Sam gets more and more fun, and we can't wait to see what the next month holds!
