Just a few notes to remember about Dashiell at seven months:

– Sits up tall, straight, and sturdy. Our daycare told us, "He has great posture!"

– Has done some tentative crawling! Can also get into a sitting position from laying down. We frequently find him sitting up when we go to get him from his crib.

– Wants us to help him pull up all the time.

– Still just two little bottom teeth.

– Loves to "brush his teeth" and watch us brush our teeth. Dental hygiene is so fun!

– Likes to touch things with just his pointer finger.

– Is excited to drink from our water glasses or water bottles.

– Loves food of all kinds. We're having fun sitting him in high chairs at restaurants and ordering him avocado or banana or plain black beans.

– Turns his head back and forth to rub his head on his car seat on when he's laying down – not sure what this is about!

– Not sleeping through the night and his wakefulness has been inconsistent. I think the sitting up and crawling is affecting sleep.

– Still loves to scratch things but maybe not as much lately.

– So many people stop to smile at him when we're out and about and he just about always has a smile to share with a stranger.

 

Also, one year ago this week. Cannot believe it.
