31 Weeks

Got it up on Thursday!

You're 7 months old.  I'm estimating you to be about 17 or 18 pounds and pretty close to the 50th percentile these days.  We'll confirm this with Dr. G at the end of February, but for now you are our Chubba Wubba.  Or Freddie's Hansie Wansie. 

Get me down!

You're eating bagels and cream cheese for breakfast now!  Well little bits of Mama's bagel and cream cheese.  You like to smack and suck to get the cream cheese off.  You've also had toast and butter or jam, bits of cantaloupe, banana, puffs, and potato.  I usually see the relief in your eyes though when I start spooning the purees into your mouth.  Finger foods aren't getting to your mouth fast enough quite yet. 

More bagel, please.

Freddie's room is now "the boys' room."  You've officially taken up residence in the crib.  We've had a couple rough nights adjusting and we're still trying to shake the early wake ups.  Hopefully another week or two and it will be smooth sailing.  Freddie is tickled to have you in the room with him.  He explained for days and days that he was capable of getting out of bed, climbing on his stool, and saying "it's ok, it's ok, it's ok" and then returning to his bed if you cried during the night.  He's been a real sport during the transition sleeping with the pillow over his head or fingers in his ears. 

Your favorite activity is gazing out the window.  Standing you on the window sill and chatting about everything we see is a sure fire way to please you.  Freddie acting silly definitely rates high on your list of favorite entertainment.  You're pretty needy on the days he's off at school. 

The bottom left tooth is up and from the looks of it your mouth is going to be pretty crowded.  Just like Freddie, this one's come up on an angle, I assume to allow room for the others to cram in.  I'm hoping more teeth fill in that smile soon.
