7 Mos. Today!

He's 7 months old today, and the biggest 7 monther I know. Where has the time gone? He holds his own with his 20lb, 29 inch stature and his 5 teeth help him to eat plenty and not fall below the 85th percentile on the curve. He likes to eat foods of substance. Plain baby food has never gone over well with him, but if you load it up with rice cereal to the point where it practically has to be chewed he loves it! He also loves dried strawberries and bananas, crackers, tortillas, Lucky Charms with milk (maybe he's not really supposed to be eating those yet, but he just shares them with me), and bread. Chris has even fed him a little bit of ribeye, but he didn't really know what to do with it. He just chewed and chewed and then when dinner was over we removed the world's most tender piece of steak from his mouth.

He's army crawling all over the place so we have to really keep an eye on him, and he's befriended one of the balloons from Grandma's birthday party. The balloon was actually given to Cayla, but after Tate got his slobbery hands on it she said he could keep it forever. We all know he's a chewer so we keep him under close watch, but he hasn't been able to chew on the balloon because he can never catch it. He crawls up to it and about the time he gets his hand on it, it floats a little further and the chase is on. It's his new favorite game!
