Unleashing the Wanderlust Spirit: Exploring the World Through the View From Up Here

monthly · March 14, 2015

Seven Month Update

Weight/Length: Bennett really likes to make my life easy as far as remembering what he gains each month. We are on a consistent 1 lb. per month gain. 

Hair: He has some long hairs over his ears, and its pretty thick near the nape of his neck. It’s still pretty light, definitely not as dark as when he was first born. These pictures are 1 month vs. 6.5 months. 


Diapers: Size 2 Honest Company and Medium Gdiapers–we are switching to threes this next week when they get delivered. The Medium gdiapers are here to stay for a while. I think it is 22 lbs they are good til! 


Clothing: 6-12 Months in Gap, Old Navy, and Gymboree. Except some random jeans that must have been sized wrong from the Gap and they finally fit him, all the others are their size are too small. 6-9 Months in Carters, 6 in PJS and 9 in onesies and rompers, etc. they look too tight and I have to pull them over any diaper we use. 
Favorite Things: Triangle toy, Scout, Smile Chair, Water Bottles
Likes: He likes screeching then laughs after he does it, sitting up, playing with bubbles, going backwards in his walker, standing at his leapfrog table, playing hide and seek, and exploring what food he has on his table
Dislikes: He doesn’t like when he sees a toy he wants and can’t get, or when he decides that he wants to get tangled up after being in the sitting position and moving to belly.

Eating: we started him on solids at 4.5 months and the boy hasn’t looked back. I make all of his baby food, and sometimes when we are out either use the Happy Baby or Plum brand. He has tried A LOT of food now, and we gave him a few bites of yogurt the other day with his breakfast. We are working with him on the sippy cup and tilting it back to get the water out. I think we may try a cube of carrot juice to add a little taste to the water. It may take a little longer with the cup since he doesn’t have bottles all that much, and when he does he is usually leaning back and drinking it.

Milestones: He is standing when holding on to things, sitting up by himself, gets up on all 4’s (not moving forward or backward), first Busch Gardens Trip, 2 colds, and some random fever sickness

Sleeping: Generally up 2 times at night, once around 6-7 hours after going to bed, then 3 hours later. He wakes around 7 every day. He did great with Daylight Savings Time and I don’t even think he realized something changed! 


Mama Thoughts:


My little baby boy is 7 months already?! He is growing so fast, and is developing such a personality. I love the way he looks at all of his family members, and you can tell he is so excited that he gets to love on them so much! We are very blessed to live so close to everyone of them. I know the next 5 months are going to fly by, and I am going to cherish them even more so (if possible) then I did the past 7.

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
