7 months old!

So James Peyton, what are you up to at 7 months old???

You are 28 inches long and weigh 19 lbs

You wear a size 3 diaper

You wear 6-9 month clothing and we just bought your first pair of 12 month footed pj's

You have several nicknames-J.P., Jamesie, Bugaboo, Tigger, Tiggaboo, Buddy, and Bubba (I have no idea where we came up with some of these!)

You are crawling everywhere but aren't all the way up on your knees. It started as an army crawl with your forearms but now you use your hands. You are fast!

You are a wonderful eater and have now had rice cereal, green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, pears, apricots, and bananas

You eat breakfast in the morning and dinner at night but still have bottles too

We are taking a baby signing class and you made the sign for bottle!

You are very talkative and say "ya ya ya ya ya" and "da da da da"

You love music

You are a happy baby and love to laugh

You have started giving mommy kisses by opening your little mouth and putting it on my cheek. It is the sweetest thing ever!

When I pick you up you pat my shoulder or back three times

You take two naps during the day for 1 1/2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the late afternoon.

You moved to the regular bath tub and love the water! I think you are going to be a great swimmer just like your Daddy.

You technically sleep through the night because you sleep 8-9 hours but you usually wake us up at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. then go right back to sleep until 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. after your bottle

You spent your first Thanksgiving at home with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Janie, Simon, and Ellie

I can't wait to see what you do next month! We love you.

Love,
Mommy
