Seven Months

Mr. Colby is now a whopping seven months old! What can our little guy do now that he’s in the second half of his first year? The better question is, what can’t he do?
Colby is a crawling expert. He goes wherever he wants, and he goes quickly! If Mommy or Daddy turn their back for a second, he is halfway down the hallway. It’s really funny to watch him go, too, because he lifts his hands way up in the air and flops them down like a little bear cub.
When he does decide to take a break from crawling, Mr. Colby likes to sit up totally unassisted. Sometimes he even sits on his knees, which makes him look way older than he actually is!

Another skill he is working on is talking. Colby’s most frequent word is “Mom-mom.” He also can say “Da-Da” and we’re working on “Bub-ba” (which is easier to say than “brother”).
As if all those milestones weren’t enough, little Colby has also sprouted not one, but TWO teeth! They’re both on the bottom, but don’t ask to see them. He will squirm, fuss and clamp his mouth shut before he’ll show off his new pearly whites! He does like to use them for another new skill that he’s taken on…

EATING! Colby loves to eat purees. His favorite is apples, but he also enjoys carrots and sweet potatoes. Bananas are also popular with him. It’s a messy undertaking, but he really enjoys mealtimes. Mommy pulls his high chair up next to Wyatt’s chair and they have lunch together. Wyatt even tries some of Colby’s food from time to time. He doesn’t usually like it, but he tries it!
  As for playtime, Mr. Colby enjoys holding a ball in his hand and chasing it or tapping it against the floor. Or putting it in his mouth, which he does with anything he can get his hands on. He likes to pull up to stand and lean over the toy basket, where he digs through the treasures inside. The best treasures are, of course, his big brother’s toys.
Life for Colby these days is busy, fast, curious and fun. Mommy, Daddy and Wyatt are so glad that they get to be a part of that life, and we love our Colby very, very much!
