7 Months!

Asher turned 7 months old last week. He has sure changed and learned so much in the last month. It really is so amazing to see him grow so fast! He is so much fun and already seems to have a sense of humor. He makes us laugh everyday.
He has become a much better sleeper this month. He sleeps through the night almost every night now. He goes to bed at 7 and sleeps until at least 4, usually longer. Most of the time he makes it until about 5:30 or 6. He falls asleep in his crib on his own even. Most days he takes one 2 hour nap, and two 30 minute naps.
He has started to chatter a lot. The first sound he repeated was baba. He now also says dada and an occasional mama, (not referring to us) baba still seems to be the favorite though. He has gotten really loud and loves to yell. He does it all the time, whether he is excited, happy or mad. He also laughs at just about anything these days. I must need to work on my speed diapering because lately he decided he has to go almost every time I take his diaper off. The funny part about it though is that every time it happens, he laughs! I think it must tickle when it gets him but he thinks it's hilarious. Silly boy!
He sits like a champ now and rolls all over the place. He seems to want to get around but still doesn't love to be on his tummy. I think he is getting more motivated to crawl though so maybe by next month! However, he is way more into walking than crawling so we'll see!
He also got his first tooth about a week and a half ago. It's so cute! He really wasn't too fussy with it. He woke up crying once the night it came in and had a pretty runny nose but other than that he was as happy as could be.
He is now eating solids regularly and doing great with it. He has liked pretty much everything he has tried, except avocado and green beans (who can blame him?). I make all of his baby food and I really like it. I like knowing that it's fresh and much healthier for him. It has been super easy so far. He also is learning to drink from a sippy cup. He can drink from it if we are holding it. He tries to do it himself but just can't seem to tip it back far enough, which is funny cause he has been holding his bottle himself for at least 2 months now.
Overall, Asher is doing great! Here are a few pictures from about 6 1/2 months old.












We love our silly, handsome boy!
