7 Months Old

Luke is 7 months old today! I'm sooo excited.

He's such a big boy. He is really doing a lot of babbling. He can say "dada" but doesn't know that it's a word yet. We are working on it!

Toward the end of each month I get out The Baby Book (Dr. Sears) and the What to Expect the First Year, and I read about the milestones to come. So far, Luke is ahead on all of them. Pretty cool. Of course, I know that doesn't really mean anything, but it's nice to know.

He is definitely sleeping better. Still nurses quite a bit at night, but then he goes right back to sleep. His naps are at least an hour long now. I was beginning to think that would never happen!!

I've always heard about babies practicing their new moves at night, but didn't think much of it until Luke started duing it. Sometimes he'll get up on all fours and then collapse and go right back to sleep. Kind of like sleepwalking. It's really funny.
