I AM 7 MONTHS!

Connor has hit another month and has kept on growing bigger and bigger. And he has never been cuter. We love all his little expressions and crazy laughs. Being a parent is the most amazing and fulfilling job in the world! I couldn't have asked for more!

Connor has a lot to say about his life at 7 months...

Update: I am getting too big for the car seat. So I may be getting a new car seat very soon. Mommy likes to think of me as a mini octopus grabbing anything I can get my little tentacles on. I just started wearing size 4 diapers. And I officially have my first tooth cut and peeking through the gum, it looks like a fingernail peeking through the gum right now but it is there. And my next is close behind. My clothes are ranging from 12 -18 months. I eat two solid meals a day, sometimes. Usually breakfast for sure and sometimes dinner. I love finger foods and can put them in my mouth now. I eat goldfish, cheerios, Gerber puffs/yogurt melts, shredded cheese, and broken crackers. Mommy still nurses me lots. I hate sleeping by myself and would much rather sleep with Mommy and Daddy in bed. I like noisy toys and lights that dance around. And I am loving warm baths, playing in the water is so fun. My favorite thing to do is blow raspberries when I get annoyed. And I am addicted to Daddy-time. I love playing and eating with Daddy!

Height – 21 lbs

Weight- 6 ounces

Length - 27 inches
(These are just estimates though)

I LIKE:

I love to explore, rolling and scooting here and there, is so much fun.

I am becoming more independent, I try to feed myself and play nicely by myself.

I like to play when I am getting my diaper changed now. Mommy is not too fond of this new development. I like to scoot away while I am being changed.

I like to lunge for the toys that are out of my grasp. And then I usually topple over.

Rocking in the rocking chair.

I love baths! I like to splash and play with my toys in the warm water!

I DISLIKE:

I like to be in charge now so I hate it when Mommy tries to get me dressed or tries to dry me off after the bath or tries to put me in the car seat.

When Mommy and Daddy say “Connor No” I know that I am in trouble. So I usually start to whimper or cry.

I hate when Mommy and Daddy take my toys away, usually they take away the fun cords or paper I get my hands on. So I get very mad.

The swing, sometimes I fall asleep in it still but only after a battle of the tears. I’d rather have Mommy and Daddy rock me to sleep.

Mommy Loves:

- Singing silly songs to me because I love them, I smile and play and grab Mommy’s moving hands. My favorite is the crocodile song, I like it when she sings over and over. It goes like this “She sailed away on a sunny summer day on the back of a crocodile. / You see said she he’s as tame as tame can be all ride him down the Nile. / The croc winked his eye as she bade them all goodbye wearing a happy smile. / At the end of the ride the lady was inside and the smile was on the crocodile.”

- MY new high pitched scream that makes your ears rattle it is highly annoying but Mommy can’t help but smile when she hears me throw a tantrum. She laughs because she thinks I am being so silly.

- When I scrunch up my nose to smile or search for something, or giggle! Mommy loves my giggles!

Daddy Loves:

- Playing peek-a-boo with Daddy is so fun because he likes it even more than me.

- When I lay on Daddy’s chest to be put to sleep and make humming noises as I drift off.

- When I grunt for more food. I love oatmeal and fruit it makes me so happy but I can’t get it fast enough.
