Blake ~ 7 months

Blake is still the most chill and happy baby I've ever seen! He can have his moments when he's tired or hungry, but don't we all! When we're out shopping or walking he is either giving everyone his big gummy grin (well there's two little teeth poking through now) or he falls asleep. I love that he gets so excited when he sees me. Melts my heart! He also loves to get attention from his big sisters.....and I don't think they mind giving him the attention. ;)
As far as milestones, he's sitting up really well on his own now. He's even started this little dance when he hears music or gets excited. He doesn't roll over too much but will if he sees something he really wants. No crawling yet but he is strong enough to hold himself in that position now. I just have to put him on all fours. He scoots or slithers around.....slowly but he does it. His babbling is still  limited. I think he's just taking it all in and one of these days he'll start talking up a storm. He's said little things that sound like words (hi, da, ma, ba) but I know he doesn't know what they mean. He sleeps pretty much through the night. He usually goes to bed right after the girls....around 8pm and will wake up anywhere between 5-6am. Sometimes I'll have to wake him to go to the bus stop at 10 til 7. He's been taking 2 naps during the day which has been great! That's when I can get the most done around the house and give Avery some one on one time. He hasn't had all that many shudders since going to the doctor last month. A few but nothing like before. He finally has an appointment with a neurologist on the 12th.

Blake loves tags. Any toy that has one that's what he goes for. He's also enjoying his exersaucer more and more.......and his bouncy seat less and less. He also loves his little basketball hoop. We call him our little Robbie whenever he plays with it. He likes any toy that plays music and lights up. One of his favorites is his race car track. His sisters really like it too. It's so cute when they are all three sitting around playing with it.

As far as food goes, we haven't ventured out all that far with new things. He prefers his vegetables over anything else. Can't complain about that! His favorite seems to be carrots. He also likes his fruits but seems to prefer them if they aren't really cold. He'll eat cereal but doesn't seem to care for it too much. He still loves his milk!

We just love our little Blakey!

Story behind this: Derek and I were setting up for a garage sale. We put him on the floor with just a few toys around him (he was on his back). He was positioned so that we could see him as we came in and out. He never cried once! Whenever I came in he was always playing. Then he had rolled over....next thing I knew he was all the way on the other side of the room passed out!

Big sisters always want to feed him after dinner.
