7 months!

It's a good thing I don't blog in hopes to win any blog awards, because I'd definitely not succeed.

2 weeks ago Beckham turned 7 months old!  7 months.  This is going by way. too. fast.

At 7 months old he weighed 17lbs and was 28 1/4" long.  He mastered sitting up unassisted.  He HATES cuddling.  Forget even trying to hold him.  If you hold him close, he puts his hands on your chest and pushes himself away from you.  I, too. wasn't a cuddly baby, and have never liked to cuddle either.  He wears a size 3 diaper.  He can't sleep without his lovey (a very small satin/soft blanket).  Speaking of sleep, he still doesn't sleep through the night, and gets up to feed every 4 hours, though he eats solids 3 times a day.  I need to quit talking about night weaning and actually start night weaning, like this weekend.  The one bonus is, ever since he was a newborn, I have been able to put him in his crib awake, and he falls asleep instantly without making a peep.  He loves to sleep.  He still naps every hour and a half - two hours.  His naps are longer now and range from an hour - two hours.  He gets mistaken for a girl all. the. time.  He can be dressed in blue from head to toe and he still gets called a 'she'.  Lastly, he is thee happiest baby I have ever met!  We definitely go days, if not weeks, where we don't hear him cry.  Gosh do we ever love our sweet boy!  More than words can say.
