I'm 7 Months Old!!!!

Watching Liam learn and grow has been such a joy.  This by far is my favorite stage. I know that I will say that every time I blog.  He is on a pretty steady schedule now.  He eats pretty much 4 times a day.  First thing in the morning he gets solid food.  He gets some type of cereal and a fruit or yogurt and then part of a bottle.  For lunch he gets a full bottle.  For dinner he gets solid foods again.  We give him veggies and sometimes a fruit.  I decided to kind of veer off from the Super Baby Food Diet book and I boiled him some chicken and pureed it up.  He loves it, especially when we mix it with a veggie! And at night before he goes to bed, he gets another full bottle.  We have increased his ounces again so "part" of a bottle is 5 ounces and a full bottle is 7 ounces.  I am having to supplement with formula which was something that I didn't want to do.  My body has pretty much decided to only produce about 15 ounces a day which is not enough!  I'm okay with formula now, it just wasn't part of my plan.  I keep telling myself that I am lucky to get as far as I did.  He is starting to get some rolls on him and he is definitely getting heavier!  He is getting easier to travel with.  Now, I can just get him out of his car seat and sit him in a buggy or a highchair at a restaurant.  As for teeth, well.... he has been trying to get teeth now for a month it seems.  There are days when I can feel a sharp little area on his bottom gums and then there are days when they are swollen and I can't really feel much of anything thing.  Lately we have been having to give him ibuprofen or tylenol and keep orajel on his gums.  That has kind of been a routine before bed.  He was wearing me out waking up every 2-3 hours every night.  He seems to sleep better at night now that we do that.  He usually goes down between 8-9 and wakes up around 6-6:30 or I wake him up around 5-5:30 on days that I have to go to work.  I am going to have to start baby proofing the house here pretty soon.  He is crawling around but he is still slow and I can keep him contained in the living room but that isn't going to last too much longer.  He loves jumping in his jumper and cackles when we play peek a boo. We spend at least one day a week on the new boat and he LOVES the water!!!  His first birthday will be here before we know it so I guess I need to start planning! We love you monkey!
