7 months old

Cash's seven month birthday was quite eventful - a trip to urgent care after a night of projectile vomiting. Oh the joys of day care. Poor little guy caught a stomach bug after one, count that, ONE full day in his new day care. He's still trying to get his appetite back but he's coming around. Teething has become a daily test of our fussiness endurance. Cash will go from happy, smiling bouncing baby to Senor Fussface at a moment's notice. He has one tooth on the bottom that has come through the gum and is apparently staying put just to torture the little guy. However the cute faces he makes poking his tongue out of his mouth while he feels it are way adorable.

Some of the things Cash is doing at seven months include:
-Sitting completely on his own. We still put pillows behind him but the amount of times he will fall off balance is getting fewer and far between.
-Lunging forward on his knees get to a toy.
-So close to crawling he can taste it. Literally I mean. Usually he will fall forward after a lunge and face plant with his tongue out of his mouth because of the teething and all.
-Eating stage two pureed foods (when he wants to actually eat - another instance of teething-related food refusal recently).
-Quickly pulling up to standing when holding on to mommy or daddy's hands.
-Babbling up a storm and saying "Da da da da" a lot which makes Ross infinitely happy.
-Loves playing peekaboo.
-Sleeping through the night on occasion! In general he now only wakes up once a night, if at all. It's a pretty amazing feeling to go to bed and really believe that you won't be waking up until morning (even if morning is 6am).
-Up to a little over 16 lbs, at least before his illness. After a lot of waxing and waning (and some crying and back and forth on mommy's part) Cash became a full-time formula baby due to the stress of the move and an increase in mommy's work travel in the month of January causing my milk supply to pretty much crash and burn. He transitioned pretty well and I think that once he gets back to his normal eating schedule he will probably gain some more weight because of it. It was pretty sad and disappointing to have to quit before seven months though.
-Taking a real interest in certain toys, particularly ones with cars or vehicles of any sort.
-Growing more hair in the bald spot in the back, however also developing a nasty case of cradle cap this month.
-Smiling, laughing and all in all, being a happy and adorable little baby boy.
