7 Months

So in usual fashion, I am late doing Owen's 7 month post :) This month has FLOWN by and been quite eventful and a little hectic at times too. Owen has 6 teeth and counting. Let's just say he hasn't been his usual happy self lately and I just feel so bad for my little guy. It has to be so painful cutting teeth and he's just been feeling kinda yucky lately. This past week he went on a nap strike and cried for an entire hour each time I put him down for a nap. I felt so bad about doing it, but the best thing for him is to get his sleep so I had to be "tough mama" this week. It must have done some good because he FINALLY decided to take his naps today. They weren't the full 2 hours each that they were before the strike, but they were naps nonetheless and I'm not complaining! He was his usual self again today too so that has been so wonderful :) Just goes to show you how important those naps really are to a 7 1/2 month old!

Owen is crawling ALL over the place these days and he's getting quick too. I really have to keep my eye on him more than ever before. I've also had to complete the task of babyproofing that has been on my to do list for a while now. He loves to stand and is rather proud of himself each time he walks his way around the ottoman or pack and play.

Here are Owen's 7 month stats:
weight: 16lbs. 3oz. (10th percentile)
length: 28 3/4 inches (90th percentile)
head: 44.5 cm (50th percentile)

I had to do these measurements at home again because we don't go back to the doctor until December so I'm not sure just how accurate they are, but you get an idea anyway:)

We have also added the following foods to Owen's diet this month:
Avocado
Peaches
Carrots
Yogurt

We'll be adding some meat in the next few weeks too, starting with some chicken I think.
