7 Months Old!!

We are growing growing growing in the Haines house! 7 months have already passed! Yikes. Before I know it I will be planning a birthday party.

Here are some updates on our little guy!

GROWTH: Alden is weighing in at 20 pounds and is 28 inches in length. He has grown much since last month, but seems to be getting longer.

SLEEP: Alden is still sleeping through the night, most nights. He gets up every few nights because I think he is teething. I just pop the binkie back in his mouth and he goes back to sleep. He is sleeping in his own room still.

EATING: Alden is still on soy formula. He eats about 3-4 8 ounce bottles each day. He hasn't tried too many new foods. We have tried blueberries, potatoes, and avocado. He enjoyed the avocado. I made his mashed potatoes with nothing in it and he hated it. Then, I gave him some of mine with butter, milk, and salt & pepper. Of course, he enjoyed it then. I only gave him a few bites though because of the dairy.

CLOTHING: Alden is in 9-12 month clothing

DIAPERS: He is wearing Size 3 diapers.

DEVELOPMENT: Alden is now able to stand when I hold his hands. He has an exersaucer and will stand in it. He is attempting to crawl. He goes backwards and in circles, scooting on his belly. He hasn't been able to get off the belly and move. He can get on his hands and knees, but can't move quite yet.

He is growing like a weed. He is completely out of the newborn stage. I think I tried holding onto that far too long. He doesn't want to be held like a baby when he eats a bottle or lay on his back for a long time, he is on the move!

Until next month!! :) Enjoy the warm weather!
