Dear Levi,
Today you are 7 months old. The months seem to be flying by! This month you've started eating "solid" foods, and you seem to like them. You have had sweet potatoes, butternut squash, avocados, and bananas. Next up are carrots. Bananas are by far your favorite, and you squeal in between bites. When you are eating avocado, you squish your face up and act like you don't like it, but you keep on eating it! You are interested in everything Dad and I eat and drink, and you love to play with cups and spoons.
You like to talk and have been experimenting with lots of new sounds lately. You like to fake cough, and you've started making a new noise that sounds like you're really surprised or sucking air in. It's a funny noise to listen to you make until you are trying to eat and you just end up choking yourself. You also love blowing raspberries. You like to do this when you're eating too! You spit sweet potatoes all over Dad the other day. :)
You can sit up for longer periods of time, but you're still not very sturdy. We've put you in highchairs and grocery carts and you seem to like them. You usually end up leaning over onto the side of the cart, but I think you like having a different view of the world! You seem so proud of yourself when you are sitting up, and sometimes you look at me like you're trying to say, "Hey! Look at me! Look at what I can do!"
You seem to love anything electronic- remotes, cell phones and even the laptop. When we open up the laptop and you are sitting with us, you immediately start trying to grab the keys. You also love the lights on the computer and always try to grab them!
You are scooting/army crawling now. I know my feelings about this will change, but it's so fun to watch you find something you want and then be able to scoot over to it and get it. Today you even got up on your hands and knees and started rocking back and forth. I know it won't be too long now before you're in to everything!
We have started seeing a little bit of a temper in you lately. The other night, after your bath, Dad took away your towel you were chewing on and you threw your head back and started screaming! You did the same thing to me today when I took a hanger away from you.
This month you had your first antibiotic. Last Friday, Megan called and said you had a temperature of 102, so Dad took you to the doctor. You had a sinus infection. When I got home you were just laying in Dad's arms. It was so sad to see you like that, but after a day of tylenol, amoxicillin, and snuggles you were a new kid!
You weigh close to 16 pounds. You are still wearing your 3-6 month clothes, and you're wearing size 2 (and sometimes size 3) diapers.
We are so in love with you. We love watching your grow and explore new things. I have 2 more weeks left of school, and I cannot wait to have so much time with you this summer! I know that we are going to have so much fun.
Love,
Mom
