7 Months Old

Asher is seven months old!  (Yesterday...)


This was the hardest picture to get so far.  Asher would not hold still long enough to get one and it seemed like his hands or feet were blurry in all of the pictures because they were constantly moving.

At seven months:

Weight: 17 pounds even (He finally gained some weight!  He gained 1 pound 8 ounces in a little under a month)

Since switching Asher to formula we have seen such a change in him.  We always thought he was a good, happy baby, but now he is even better and even more happy.  He is so much more content and just loves life!  We are so happy that he is full now and doing so well.

-Asher now sleeps the entire night.  He goes to bed at 8:00 and wakes up around 7:30.  
-He takes a bottle 4 times a day and eats solid foods 3 times.
-He loves squash the best.  He also really likes sweet potatoes and carrots and loves trying new foods.
-He usually takes 2 good naps and sometimes a third shorter nap depending on how long his other naps were.  It seems he may be ready to phase that one out.
-He still hates being put in his car seat but is really good in the car now.  He will even take long naps in his car seat if it's nap time.
-He is constantly laughing.  He is the happiest little thing and just looking at him makes him laugh.
-He is so social.  He loves being in new places and seeing new people.  He will laugh or make crazy sounds to get everyone's attention.  He is especially loud and happy at church where he gets lots of attention.
-He loves grocery shopping now that he can sit in the front of the cart and see everything that is going on.
-He is always moving.  He still rolls a ton.  He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth, but for now can only scoot backwards.    
-He sits really well and only topples over when he wants to -- if he see something he wants and needs to get it.
-He got his first tooth!  Just the top of the tooth is poking up.
-He is more independent and can entertain himself so well.
-He loves it when Marcus gets home from work and just laughs and laughs when he sees him.
-He is so much fun and we just love hanging out with this sweet little guy.



And...the outtakes.  You can see he's just constantly moving!

Oh my heck I am dying over his 7 month picture--he looks so happy that he can hardly contain himself!! Such a little cutie. And, what the, I can't believe he has a tooth! I swear, it's like he's older than Millie in lots of ways. Glad he is doing so well. Love that little guy!

He is SO cute! I love how often you take pictures. I really need to do better with that...and I need to use my actual camera rather than my phone so they don't turn out so blurry.

I'm glad he's been gaining some weight and that he's happy as can be.
