7 months!

What Simon is doing

• loves chewing on everything he can get his hands on (still no teeth). 
• loves to kick his legs
• Sitting in his bumbo (although just like Joy can arch his back and almost get out)
• laughs, smiles all the time
• super ticklish and laughs every time he gets his clothes changed 
• happiest little guy and generally adorable

Eats:
Nursing: Nurses every 2-3 hours. Still super fast
Solid food: Simon loves to eat solid food and would much rather do that than nurse.

• Loves: pumpkin, green beans, rice, oatmeal, rice, yogurt, pears, apples, 
• Verdict is still out on: peas, carrots (he likes but just like Joy, gives him diaper rash if he eats it too many days in row)
• Introducing this week: egg yolk (he tried it today and liked it)
• Need to try again: avocado (he spit up a lot when he ate it)

  

Sleeps: Well....we are failing at night sleep training. We tried for two weeks and he cried for 1-2 hours every night. We will try again in a few months but for now Simon is waking up 2-3 times a night and up for good between 6-7am.

Naps: He is taking 2-3 naps a day (around 9 and 12:30...sometimes 4pm). He is staying awake for 2:45 hour chunks during the day. He has 

Weighs: 15.2 lbs

Likes: likes to play on the floor or in his activity center (above), loves watching Brad throw the ball for Rudy, loves to suck his fingers, his green blanket, snuggles, riding around in the Ergo

Dislikes: not really into reading books (would rather devour the pages), when mommy or daddy disappear from view, when Joy snatches the toy he is playing with   (she usually informs him that it is "her turn" or "her toy")

Favorite event this month: Getting to eat three solid food meals a day!
