. . .and onto 7 MONTHS already!!!

7 months- 18 lbs.

 Our sweet guy is now 7 months!  I know I've said this a gazillion times, but I can't believe how fast the time is going.  He's already very mobile and is totally giving us a run for our money.  He can roll all over the place and is going to be crawling any day already!  He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth, and then collapses when he tries to move.  I guess it's time to baby proof our house.  He is starting to babble and of course he likes to chant, "DA-DA-DA-DA."  It melts my heart because I see the way Kelly melts when he says it.  He'll occasionally yelp out a "MA" every now and again just so I'll keep changing his diapers and feeding him, but they are few and far between.  It's fun to start to hear his little voice though.  A few of his favorite things these days are:

HOLLY-  He loves the dog.  She keeps him very entertained and he loves to laugh at her and try to steal her toys.  Luckily she is so good to him and has tons of patience!  She never snaps at him, and I think she loves him as much as he loves her.

 BOTTLES- He still loves to have a bottle every 3 hours.  He will tolerate the baby foods, but still isn't fully invested in them and most of the time just wants to drink his ba ba.  I guess his favorites of the baby foods are sweet potatoes, the apple, pear, and banana combo, and banana custard though.

BINKERS- Lately he has liked his binkies again.  He sort of stopped wanting them for a little while, but he likes them again!  YAY!  I love them because they look so cute in his mouth, and because it's nice to have something to give him to keep him quiet!

ORANGES-  We have recently discovered that when nothing else can make him happy and orange can!  I know babies aren't supposed to have tons of citrus because of the acidity, but sometimes we give in and give him a little slice, and I swear nothing makies him happier!  He totally has a meltdown when we take it away from him.

This is how sad he gets when the orange is all gone.

THE REMOTE and  CELL PHONES-  The kid has so many toys just for him and all he ever really wants is the remote or our phones.  Crazy man.

MUM MUMS-  His favorite baby snack.  They are so messy, but he loves them and they keep him entertained.   Therefore, I love them too.

TUBBY-  Trey still loves getting a bath every night.  Just when he's completely done and exhausted for the day we put him in the tub and suddenly our happy baby is back!  He kicks his legs like a mad man and gets me soaking wet every time.  We always try and wait for tubby time until Kelly gets home so he can play with him for a little bit before he has to unwind.  The bedtime routine is really the only family time we get during the week, so we all enjoy it.

FINGER FOODS-  I think more than any of the baby foods Treagan likes to eat whatever we are eating.  And our doctor gave us the green light to pretty much give him whatever (except for the obvious no no's).  So he has little bits of pancakes, bread, fruit, veggies, and anything else we eat that is soft enough for a little human with NO TEETH!

SHOPPING-  T dawg is such a good sport to be my little shopping buddy.  I thought I needed a daughter for these kinds of things, but nope!  Turns out he loves shopping too!  It's a nice way to get in our walks and not have to bundle up.

OUTSIDE-  He's just like me and loves more than anything to be outside!  Please bless that the weather will get warm soon so we can go out more!  We still bundle up and go for a walk (or two, or three) just about everyday.  But it'd be even more fun if we could stop having to put on so many layers!

BEING A WIGGLE WORM-  The kid can't sit still for very long.  Not sure how we are going to manage 3 hours of church anymore!  It seems like all of the moms around me have their baby neatly placed on their laps and there they stay for 3 hours fully entertained by the same toy the entire time!  Then there's me.  He wants on my lap, he wants off my lap, he tries to crawl on the gym floor, then he's crying because he bonked his head, then he's laughing at the next toy I pull out of my bag, then he wants a book. . . It's exhausting I tell you!  He is everywhere!  Mellow is definitely not his middle name. . . But we love this about him. 

Anyway, he's just growing and changing so much and couldn't make two parents any more proud!  He's got a pretty sweet little temperament but also can be a little class clown and a spit fire from time to time.  He's starting to learn how to throw little tantrums and I'm not gonna lie,  they are just a little bit hilarious.  Both Kelly and I are total suckers, and usually get him whatever he wants.  Spoiled baby.  The little dude is weighing in at 18 lbs these days and I think he is going to take after Daddy and have a nice large stature!  We love you little T!  Keep being the bestest boy!
