i took you to the doctor's for your 7-month well-check appointment. you weigh 15.11 and are 27 1/4 in long. you're long and skinny. you loved to kick around on the table and crinkle the paper. there's also a wallpaper border of kids that you lunge for. it was a great appointment. dr. aj was impressed with how well you sit up and stay balanced. you don't spit up nearly as much or as often so we no longer have to give you zantac! you had been on it since you were about a month old and for a stint there you weren't gaining a whole lot of weight so i was worried there was something more serious wrong with you. back to the appointment . . . you got 2 shots and really bawled for one of them. you usually do so well, that novice of a nurse must have poked you in a bad spot. we go back in a month and then not again until you're 1! wow, you're going to be 1!
your top two teeth are coming in--you got your bottom two around 5 months. they are big and while i'm happy to see you getting teeth and getting bigger it makes me sad to think i won't see that top gum of yours when you smile. i loved that. like i said, you sit up well on your own and you love to play with toys--so much more than your sister did. she would get into everything and you're happy with your soft baby's bear/bottle, your keys, and taggies blanket. you LOVE to jump in your jumperoo (i want to get you one for the doorway that isn't so big). you laugh and smile and jump forever.
yesterday i sat you up in your crib and you must have thought it was the greatest thing with the way you were smiling and laughing. you grabbed the rail, played with toys, and even tried to pull up. we should probably lower your mattress since we haven't had to do that yet.
you're so easy to love!
