Holy Moley! 7 Months Old!

Can you believe Christian is 7 months old already? It doesn't feel like that much time has passed.

Christian now waves. He even waves to Logger, who responds by licking Christian's hand. He also sits up by himself. He has tried a variety of baby food and hates them all. Although he tolerated peas tonight. His favorite is Ema Bonnie's homemade applesauce. It is the only flavor that he doesn't make himself gag when eating.
When he is upset, he blows "raspberries" with his mouth. It is actually very cute and funny.
Christian's favorites: his giraffe blankie, the remote control, his animal ark toys, and baths
Christian's dislikes: the changing table, getting into the car seat, putting his coat on

Doesn't it look like he is flipping through the channels?

Everything goes into the mouth

Checkup and shots: 6 Months

Christian went to the doctor on Friday, January 9th for his sixth month checkup and shots. The day before, Christian had the stomach flu. But on Friday he was healthy.

He is 18.6 lbs and 28.5 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height! Tall and skinny!

Christian is healthy and strong. He got 4 shots and one oral immunization. Of course he screamed, but he was smiling at Nurse Jodi 30 seconds later. Nurse Jodi grabbed the receptionist because she had to show off how happy and cute Christian was. She told me I should get him into commercials!

Christian is trying baby food. He still prefers rice cereal or milk. He hates carrots. He made himself gag!

He tried oatmeal cereal tonight and he seemed to like it as much as the rice cereal.

Next on the menu: bananas!
