Luke turned 7 month's old on September 27th. Here are some things that happened during his 7th month of life, that haven't already been blogged about:
- Started several new foods (advanced cereal, bananas, butternut squash, pears, YoBaby plain yogurt, & mangos)
- Ate jarred food for the first time (bananas- while we were at the zoo)
- Started opening his mouth really well for the spoon & would even get excited when the spoon started coming towards him
- Started 'helping' me hold his food bowl (he ate much better this way)
- Increased his milk volume at the 7:00 pm feeding (to 185 ml)
- Increased the amount of solids he ate at each feeding (@ 4T instead of @ 2T)
- Started grabbing his feet when his shoes were off
- Rolled from his stomach to back (he didn't do this often- mainly did back to stomach)
- Started reaching for the remote control (so we gave him a play phone with buttons)
- Went for a checkup at Special Kids (he was doing so well they didn't need to see him again until Jan.)
and....
Went for his 6 month checkup on Aug. 31st. He weighed 15 ls. 8 ozs. (15th percentile), was 24 3/4 inches long (3rd percentile), & had a head circumference of 43 1/2 cm (50th percentile). The doctor started him on a vitamin with iron since he doesn't drink a real large volume of milk (due to the large amt. of rice added to it). He got 1 shot & his last round of Roto Virus drops. The doctor was very pleased with how he was doing! This is the super cute outfit he wore for his checkup.
Wore this onesie we got him when we visited the Loveless Cafe during our anniversary weekend. We thought the shirt was really cute, but weren't so impressed with the restaurant. 
Went outside for a picnic lunch with me & Jasie. (I LOVE the snow we've been getting, but pictures like this make me so glad we experience 4 seasons here in TN.) Notice where all his toys end up :0)
Had fun with his cousins. For some reason this is the only picture we have of that weekend. Aunt Lydia did a much better job, which you can see here! 
Became very mobile in bed! He woke us up at 5:00 one morning because his head was stuck under the sunshine. A few days later he woke up at 6:15. I went to check on him & he had turned 180 degrees so that his head was by his animals. 
Started turning pages in his books.
Made a new friend.
Was the CENTER of attention! 
Was, shall we say, MESSY!

Wore his last 3-6 month outfit. (This was taken on his 7th month birthday.)
Was so cute! 
Was so cute!
