The McFadden's: 7 months

Breck,

You are now 7 months old. At this rate, I feel like I need to start planning your first birthday already. You are growing like a weed and doing new things or new faces everyday. It is so fun watching you grow. Here's what you've been up to:

approximately 19 lbs
eating oatmeal and a fruit in the morning
started eating a veggie for lunch at the end of 6 months
eating a veggie for dinner
bottles vary - pretty much a 7 oz bottle every 4 hours (sometimes you have a schedule of your own and want to eat at 4:30 a.m. and so sometimes your bottles are different. You really like to throw your momma for a loop especially when leaving directions with a babysitter. I never know what to put
sitting; however, you cannot be left alone. We still topple over or backwards. Until you learn to put your hands down to catch yourself, then you can't be left alone for a second in the sitting position.
you swim rather than crawl. I am guessing this is just part of the learning process. You do lift your chest up to see if you have gotten anywhere! But nope you are still in the same position.
Nana and I swear you have waved bye bye to us like 4 times. So that is what we are working on
We believe your first word is "HI." You may have no clue what you are saying, but I did catch you while you were in your walker this week looking at Cabella and just saying HI in the sweetest little Breckie voice. I loved it!
I say, "kiss, kiss" and most of the time you will grab my face, open your mouth as wide as you can and lean in for a great big, slobbery kiss. So adorable!!!!
Since I hurt my back lifting you out of the car with you being in the carseat, I finally said no more carseat. So now you are sitting up in the shopping carts and in high chairs at restaurants. Not always the whole time, but you are doing great!
Poppa took you fishing for the first time. You really didn't care too much about it but we stayed there for 3 hours. You were a pretty good boy!
Really going after it in the walker, like running almost! When you run into things and I say "errrrrrr," you crack up!
Napping is questionable. I tend to put you down when you're cranky. Usually it's around the same time each day.
Still going to bed by 7 and waking up no later than 6 in the morning.
Today you cut your first tooth. Last night was a cranky one, so hopefully you will feel better and be able to sleep!!!
