John- 7 Months Old!

7 Month Stats: 

17 lbs. 1 oz.

Hard to believe our baby boy is 7 months old already!  Where is the time going?!  

John John scoots around on his tummy well and has perfected the army crawl.  He likes to do this planking thing which is what I think he thinks is going to really get him moving.  He gets on his hands and knees to crawl traditionally, but he doesn't crawls too much yet that way.  

He remains the happiest baby ever.  He cries when he's hungry and tired, and sleeps easy peasy for about 16 hours a day.  We absolutely love his dimpled smile and happy nature!

John's First Solid Food!

Well, the six month mark means that John John got to try his first "real" food.  As Emilie explained to my mom the other day, "My mom makes John John smashed peas, and she makes ball peas for me and Marin."

John actually had his first rice cereal at about 5 1/2 months.  His doctor told us to go ahead and try it if he seemed interested, and boy did he ever.  He sits with us at the dinner table and would watch us eat with his mouth wide open and leaning in.  As I told Jason, it almost seemed cruel not to give him something, he clearly wanted to eat with us so badly.

He liked his cereal, but after he was six months I made him peas, and his LOVES those.  He gobbles them right up!  Next I'll try carrots and maybe sweet potatoes, zucchini or winter squash and then move to some fruit.

Not so sure about this cereal, Daddy.

PEAS!
