Vaught: Seven Months

Vaught Charles Pace is seven months old and is growing, growing, growing!

 

Weight: 20 pounds, 8 ounces 

Length: 27.5 inches

Sleep: Vaught sleeps 10-12 hours per night in his crib in his room. He is still a nap champion, taking three long naps throughout the day. He's begun going to bed around six, which is insane. He'll typically sleep until around 6AM and wakes up right at about the time I need to be leaving. I will be putting our dogs in their crates or packing up my lunch when he begins his wake-up babbling. 

 

Food: We're doing less and less formula now and more solids. I make most of his food myself by pureeing or mashing up produce, but I've also discovered the Happy Baby brand of organic baby food. There's not a flavor Vaught doesn't like, and my mother-in-law found tons of these on sale, so we have a tub full! Organic food for baby can be a little pricey, but it's worth it knowing how good it is for his little belly. He has skipped over a traditional sippy cup but knows exactly how to get liquid out of a straw, so I'm going on a hunt for a kid's sippy cup with a rubbery straw today; wish me luck! 

Diapers: Huggies Snug and Dry Ultra Diapers are God's gift to moms. Just saying. 

Clothes: He woke up one morning and was in a size 9-12 month. He can still wear a lot of six month things, but the pants are like capris on him. Most of the time I just throw him in a onesie and go!

Developments: Vaught sits up really well and is rolling around and scooting on his back. He reaches for things in front of him, especially our food and drinks. It's the funniest thing when he reaches for my drink and tries to put his mouth on the rim of the cup! He's becoming more apathetic and is in tune with the people around him. When Eric and I laugh about something, Vaught chimes in. Out and about a few days ago a baby was crying and Vaught randomly began crying too. This just reminds me that he will feed off of our attitudes and emotions. If he's picking up on things this early, then we're seriously going to have to watch what we say even more. Eric and I both have mouths on us sometimes!

And in case you're not friends with me on Instagram or Facebook, Vaught can say "Mamamama!" now. He has babbled out a few more syllables, but we know for sure what that one is!
