Dragon's Digest: 7 Months Old

It is really amazing how time has quickly flown and we now have a 7 month old! Drake has continued to change on a daily basis and everyday is either trying new foods or showing off new tricks.

- At last measurement, you were 28 1/2 inches long, but we have not weighed you since your 6 month appointment. I will be sure to get his weight soon!

- You are just starting to figure out crawling. Right now, it is more of two legs/arms motions and then a launch. You does that over and over until you reach your intended destination.

- You've now eaten peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, banana, avocado, pears, apples, peaches, and green beans. This week we have moved to three meals a day. The only food that you have not liked was avocado and you still love butternut squash. I was thinking that we will try the puffs in the next week.

Green bean goodness

- You have now been to your first football and soccer game. And with the soccer game, you also attended your first South Carolina game and was part of you first record breaking crowd.

- You attended your first wedding this past weekend, which was in Virginia. You have now spent significant time (enough to count the state as one visited) in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Louisiana, and the District of Columbia. You've has also driven (well, ridden) through Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

Programs are yummy!

- You can sit-up on your own, although you still topple over sometimes. A woman at the wedding this weekend told me that you have such great posture.

- Over the last two weeks you have really started to LOVE baths. You are now sitting up in the tub, which I think helps, but you really love it when I splash your face or pour water over your head...you just think that is so funny.

- Luke and Alice (well really any dog) are still great entertainment for you. I am glad that our dogs are finally working for their food...just wait until you are more mobile and start chasing them around!

- You are now saying mama, but it really is not directed to me. I try and show you my face when you say it. You really do need to work on saying dada though because your Daddy is starting to have his feelings hurt. We work on it everyday though!
