Lucky Number Seven

Seven months!

Big brother had to join the fun!

 Declan has made it to the lucky seven month mark. Instead of focusing on the medical stuff (like another UTI causing him to be under the weather or the not-so-exciting urology visit yesterday), we'll focus on the milestones and funny things instead!
*He can roll from his tummy to his back, and even did so for the doctor at his six-month visit.
*He likes tummy time, and is doing a great job holding his head up and starting to push onto his elbows a bit.
*He thinks getting clothes changed is hilarious, which is such a bonus for us.
*He likes to smile at strange sounds, and usually starts smiling or laughing when Callum is crying.
*He's starting to bat at toys and does a good job at grabbing them.
*So far he has had rice cereal, applesauce, and yesterday he tried bananas. He wasn't too sure about the bananas, but he didn't spit them out. He has done a fabulous job with quickly grasping the concept of eating off a spoon.

*Although we have been working on him putting toys in his mouth, his favorite things to eat are his hands. 

*He can't quite mimic blowing raspberries yet, but when he's in the right mood, he'll stick his tongue back at us when we do them to him.
*We always know when he's about ready to fall asleep in his bouncy seat or car seat--he always sticks his right arm up and stares at it to help him fall asleep.

The hand is up--almost asleep

*He got to feel his feet in the grass for the first time the other day and loved it. He also loves being naked, too, so he's going to love summer weather!
