Our little man turned 7 months today! Everyday is just more fun than the last with him, we love to watch him discover new things and see him grow so strong. Sitting up & rolling over is old news these days for him! haha...He is now focused on trying to crawl, he leans over from his "tripod" seated position and gets onto his belly now. He picks up his knees and pull them in but hasn't really had much forward movement where he connects everything together. I am sure that will all come very soon!
Teething is still going on and we can't wait for a dam tooth to pop through finally. Sometimes Eli goes from completely happy to fussy and gumming everything he can. I just feel bad for him!
On the sleeping front - Eli has slept the night now for the past week. Even with all the extra mucus production going on with the teething and him coughing at night he is going through the night! We stopped doing the "dreamfeed" a week ago and it worked. He doesn't wake at the 10:00-10:30 time frame for a bottle anymore and he goes from 7:30-6am now. That is a HUGE improvement and makes mommy & daddy very happy!!
Everything we have tried for baby food Eli loves. He still isn't a huge bottle drinker though. We have to really be careful and balance his solids intake with his bottle of formula because he would much rather have solids and not finish his bottle. That is a frustrating at times because I always worry about dehydration. We have begun to train him to hold a sippy cup over this past month more but he still doesn't do it that great. I have trouble working on this as much as I would want to with him because I don't want him to fill up on water out of his sippy cup when he really should be drinking more formula than he currently does.
Here is Eli in the baby carrier, he is getting so big compared to how I used to have to carry him in this! He loves to see everything and observe things right now so he really enjoys being put in this while I am walking around the house trying to get things done!
