7 Months Old

Tyler Patrick you were 7 months old yesterday

What are you up to these days??

•You weigh 17lbs and 9oz you have actually lost a few ounces from last month  (because of being so sick)...

•You still wear a size 3 diaper and mostly all 12 months in your clothes.

•You are eating solid food 3 times a day. So far you eat Gerber rice cereal and oatmeal, any baby food fruit or vegetable...even peas and green beans, and yo baby organic baby yogurt. And of course you still have several bottles of formula each day. This month you tried your first table food...a french fry you stole from your brothers plate. I think you just wanted to try out those new teeth, you bit it right in half and got very mad when I took it away from you. You also tried some smashed up fried potatoes this week and loved them! You kept reaching for them while we were eating as if you were just begging for a bite so we finally gave in and let you try them.

•You have been a very very sick boy this month, going on 3 weeks now, you had your first case of RSV then an ear ache and some severe teething on top of that, several ER visits at Children's Hospital, and your first stay in the hospital.  It's been a really rough month. You have been very fussy and have not been sleeping good at all...and very understandably so!  We love you so much and are so very thankful that you seem to FINALLY be getting better.
