Anderson: Seven Months

Weight: 16 pounds 8 ounces

Length: ?

Milestones:
The mobility continues...at an exponential rate. Anderson does not sit still for anything, and has moved from crawling, to standing. Anderson will make his way to any stationary object (couch, bookshelf, his crib...you name it) and pull himself to the standing position. For the first little while, it made Mommy's heart race. Anderson earned his fair share of bruises to the head this month, and Mom earned her fair share of gray hairs (kidding). BUT, Mr. Man is finally getting the hang of standing (without the epic falls), and Mommy has been able to calm down a little bit (but only a little bit because is she ever fully calm??). What is making Mommy not so calm? The fact that Anderson has discovered the stairs and loves to climb from the very bottom ALL the way to the top (with Mommy right behind him, of course). He is quite proud of this new-found accomplishment, but Mommy hates every minute of it. Another milestone that has been reached this month is Anderson's cute little babbling noises. Unlike his sister, Anderson is a pretty quiet little guy and often has a pacifier stuck in his mouth. Lately, however, he has started to say, "Dada" pretty frequently. He also does a high-pitched squeal whenever he gets excited that gets everyone around him smiling. Anderson has also learned how to eat his solids without the hilarious gagging noises and funny faces of last month. Anderson has recently learned how to hold his bottle which is helpful for those that watch him, because it means that he can feed himself.

Loves:
Much to Daddy's delight, he has another baby who LOVES music. Anderson has started to dance and bounce every time a song comes on, and it is pretty much the cutest thing ever. Anderson has also developed a LOVE of blueberries. They are by far his favorite food, and he can't get them into his mouth fast enough. Anderson also still loves his pacifier and can often be seen happily sucking away.

Hates:
Not much. The only thing that seems to REALLY upset Anderson are loud noises. He's very sensitive to sudden, loud noises. They make his little eyes fill with tears and he will SOB until he gets some loving and comfort from Mommy or Daddy. He also doesn't do well when he gets woken up by his sister's screams. Unfortunately, Big Sister finds it HILARIOUS to wake her brother up in this fashion. And because they share a room, there have been too many nights when Anderson has been woken up by his screaming sister. It has inspired some pretty intense heart-to-hearts between Wren and Mommy. Thankfully, Wren has been working on it...
