Henry's 7th Month Update


Weight: 16lbs 9oz

Length: 28"

Loves: MOVING! He's always on the go whether it's kicking in his car seat, squirming in his high chair, jumping in his jump-a-roo, or crawling, he's always go go go!

Hates: being strapped into anything. He can't be stationary and if he is he just grunts and screams.

Milestones: He's sitting like a pro though he still locks his knees and turns one first in for support. But the biggest thing is he's CRAWLING! I'm not surprised given how active he is but it's a little shocking since Jack didn't really start crawling until almost 9 months. He just has to keep up with big brother!

Sleep: Doing great! I do his bottle and bed time story around 7:30 and then once I lay him down it's time for Jack. They have been doing a great job sharing a room. Henry mostly sleeps through Jack's potty cries and Jack mostly sleeps through Henry's coos and head banging. Henry is ever the mover and squiggles around his crib and bangs his head on every single side and corner. Then he usually gets up around 5:30. If he just talks and coos I let them have a little brother time but when it turns into urgency I get up too.

Eating: He still eats 4-5 6-8oz bottles a day and 3 puree meals. We tried the peanut butter binkie trick and he totally loved it! We're also moving onto more chunky chewing food instead of puree's as soon as our current stock is out, probably a week or two. But we are introducing the ever loved PUFFS! I hope he does well, he still isn't great at the pincer grasp so we'll see how it goes.

Teething: He has two teeth! WHAT?! No toothless wonder here. The great thing is that he doesn't seemed bothered by it. He's chewing on everything but he's not really mad about it, which is great, however he mostly prefers Jack's hot wheels instead of all the teethers we have so we're on the hunt for some different ones. Wish us luck!
