My sweet baby boy, you are everything I never knew I needed, but why are you growing so fast? I wouldn’t dare blink or I’d miss something amazing. Happy 7 months, baby! You are crushing your 7 month milestones like a champ! While I don’t want to fall into the “boys will be boys” rhetoric, you are very much a stereotypical boy – super active, very capable and always charming us with your big smile.
My little baby, you are every bit of boy that I expected you to be. As a 7-month-old baby, you are a love bug, a true mama’s boy, but wow… so very active!! I certainly don’t remember your sister being this busy. Even with all the excitement, I always hoped to have a boy like you – rough and tumble, yet sweet to the core. You’re everything I hoped for and everything I never knew my heart yearned for too.
Happy 7 Months, Baby!
Your 7 Months Milestones
So what do babies do at their 7 months milestones? Well, I can tell you 7 months old milestones are pretty exciting!
- You are 20.6 lbs (90th percentile)
- 27.25 inches tall (75-80th percentile)
- You are wearing a size 9 months in clothes and a size three in diapers,
- You are famous for your blowouts! My 7 month old baby boy is an over-achiever in the diaper area.
- You on solid foods this month. Who knew 7 months old babies liked to eat so much! You are an eating machine. This stage is so fun. I can sit here all day, watching you learn how to maneuver your tongue to push food towards the back of your mouth.
I remember the first time we gave your big sister one of those puff snacks that dissolve in the mouth, I was a nervous wreck! Would she choke? Did she know how to chew? To swallow? As a 7 month old baby, I find it a miracle that your body knows exactly what to do. You took to breastfeeding like a professional and are equally as excited to eat solid food, too.
I Love My Son!
- Your pincher grasp is on point! You are using your fingers and hands like a pro. You grasp everything, from your toys to the smallest bit speck on the ground. You rake your snacks with those fingers and are able to stuff them into your mouth quite easily. You are able to pass an object from one hand to another, which is a trick that makes you very happy.
- Baby’s FIRST words!! You babble and coo all day long, sending me baby messages. Seems as though you will be the chatting machine that your sister is. Awesome! I think you have said both mama and dada, but that is still up for debate. Regardless, you make discernible cries/noises that I am able to make out very easily.
- You are everywhere!!! You are not crawling on all fours, yet. It’s more like an army crawl. But that doesn’t stop you. From under the dining room table to in the kitchen to wherever your ball rolls.
- You are pulling up on everything now, too. Including your crib – which means we’ve lowered your mattress already. Craziness!
- There are things you understand, such as: your name, “come here” and DON’T TOUCH! I love how you look back at me as if to say “Calm down, Mom! Don’t worry so much. I’ve got this.” You are already pushing boundaries, striving for growth, yearning to learn.
Oh my beautiful baby, you love to smile! And anyone that sees this amazing gift, cannot help but smile in return. You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, and although I know pearly white teeth are near in our future, I will miss that gummy smile so much. My beautiful boy – I love you. Te quiero tanto.
Your sweet embrace makes me feel like I am good enough to be your momma. You love to be near me, you love to cuddle, but you also love to explore and learn and crawl. I am so blessed to have two healthy children, and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for both of you.
Thank you for choosing me.
