7 Months!

Kaden turned 7 months on Sunday, December 13th! I feel like everyday he is doing something new. He has finally figured out that he can move himself. His sits up very well and will lean until he gets what he wants. When laying on his tummy he will get up on all fours and rock back and forth and move his knees. He isn't comfortable taking his hands off the floor. He scoots backwards and will turn in circles. He is very flexible!Kaden is very strong. He does well picking up things. He likes to bang them on the floor, table or anything he can touch. He will smack himself in the head and it doesn't even phase him. Of course, if he isn't smacking it down it goes straight for his mouth. He gets very creative in moving himself in ways to get things in his mouth. He can hold his bottle and take it to his mouth, but usually not for very long until he needs help.
He loves to sit up. He isn't a fan of laying down. He loves to be on his feet as well. He likes to play with his toes. He likes any toys that have noise and lights are a bonus. He likes anything that crinkles. If he hears crinkles he will stop and look for it. He has really good hearing and responds when you call his name. He has two bottom teeth and continues to teeth. He holds on to my shirt for dear life and then throws his head to my shoulder to gnaw on. He makes some pretty funny faces especially as he has discovered his teeth with his tongue.Kaden is eating cereal, and stage 1 baby food. He eats cereal and 1/2 of fruit for breakfast, cereal and a whole vegetable for lunch and cereal, 1/2 fruit and whole vegetable for dinner. He still does not like squash and he really doesn't care for peas. He loves sweet potatoes and prunes. We continue to fight constipation with him, but luckily he loves prunes so prunes are a normal part of his diet.Sleeping patterns are still messed up. He usually wakes up a couple times a night before waking at 4 or 5am for his first bottle. He goes to sleep after that for a couple hours and then wakes up for breakfast. He usually takes a longer nap in the morning and then a shorter nap in the afternoon. But if there is things going on he won't go to sleep or will just take a little power nap.Kaden has just recently started the "mommy and daddy" only phase. He definetly prefers John or I. He cries when we give him to other people. He luckily will go to Suzy and McKenna (his babysitters) just fine, but if he is in a mood will wimper a little bit.
