7 Months

Easton at 7 months:

*Is pretty darn close to crawling. He'll get up in crawling position and rock back and forth, but hasn't figured out how to actually move forward from there.

*For not being able to crawl, he sure gets around. He scoots (usually backwards), pivots in circles, and rolls (usually back to tummy, but he can also do tummy to back).

*Loves to take off his socks and suck on them until they are soaking wet. He also almost always manages to kick off at least one when we're at the grocery store. We've almost lost a couple at Winco that way!

*After a rough start to solids (He HATED them! 😂), he has come around to the idea. He will only eat a spoonful or two of baby food, but loves bananas and whatever foods we are eating. He prefers anything with a little more flavor and texture!

Easton's 7th month in pictures:

First time sitting in the cart!

He loves it and it has been so fun to grocery shop with him up there because so many people stop to tell me how cute he is.

First time trying solids. I did oatmeal with some apple blueberry baby food mixed in. He was so mad!

I tried banana baby food next and that went much better. It took a few feedings, but he finished off a whole (tiny) container of it!

Napping with dad at Peyton's dance competition.

I always lay him down for his naps with his feet facing Mickey. Came to get him this time and found he had turned himself all the way around!

The young women in our ward did a carnival for the kids one Friday night where you could drop off your kids and go on a date. Easton was too little to go, so he got to hang out with us.

He used to like watching the ceiling fans at our house. The first time he sat in the cart at Costco and spotted the HUGE fans there, he was so impressed!

First Valentine's Day. Wearing the onesie and socks Logan wore for his first Valentine's Day. (Logan was almost 11 months and Easton was 10 days away from being 7 months. 😂)

Mickey ears!

I am so in love with his left cheek dimple! 😍

Swinging on a nice day at the park. Fun for him and fun for his big brother and sister to get to push him!

Checking out the Exquisite Creatures Exhibit at OMSI on the last day it was there.

I bring him with me to volunteer in Peyton's class every Wednesday morning after we drop Logan off at preschool. Then I usually end up nursing him in the van before we go to run errands until it's time to pick up Logan. This day he fell asleep, so  I just held him and read a book on my phone until he woke up. 👌

He's always pulling off one of his socks when we're in the car driving somewhere. 

I left him playing with toys while I took a shower. When I got out I found that he had fallen asleep sitting up sucking his thumb! I moved him to a more comfortable position after I took this picture and he took a pretty good nap there.

The next day the same thing happened except he pulled my towel up around him and was using it as a pillow. The sound of the shower must have soothed him to sleep.

Cutest 3rd wheel on our date night.

So close to crawling.

Those arm rolls! 😍

Happy 7 months baby boy!
