7 months


I feel like Hayes has grown up so much this past month and can do so many more things.
He loves to cruise around in his walker. He’s gotten especially good at it this past week. 
 Ever since he discovered that he can stand up (with assistance), that’s all he wants to do. No more of this laying on his back and tummy stuff.   
He talks all the time.  He says “ma ma” now (yesss) and a whole lot of other jibberish. 
Hayes is a champ at solid foods these days.  He will pretty much eat anything, but he doesn’t love fruit as much as he does vegetables. He’d way rather have squash vs. peaches or applesauce. Weird kid huh? 
He drinks really well from a sippy cup, which is awesome because he has refused taking a bottle since about 4 months old.   
He has been teething like craaazzzyyy, and let me tell you he does not do well with it.  We’ve had a few sleepless nights with this guy, and my happy little Hayes has been Mr. cranky pants on and off all month. It is really tiring and at the same time I feel so bad for the poor little guy. Good news is he now has 2 bottom teeth! Is it weird that I feel like that’s some sort of major accomplishment? 
He mostly wears 6-9 month clothes but his 9 month pants are already getting high water-ish. I wish I got a new wardrobe every 3 months!  
 Also, he’s starting to get some chub on him. I love it! Nothing better than baby rolls!
He recently discovered his tongue and is constantly twisting and turning it. 
He taps things with his thumb instead of his pointer finger. (i.e. ipad screen or toy drum)
Hayes is a spirited little guy. At his last visit, his doctor commented on how strong and feisty he is. (He is not okay with being poked and prodded)  If he isn’t happy, he will let you know! 
He has so many facial expressions and is just full of personality.  

Always playing with his tongue



Cutest little tummy.
 I love learning and growing with Hayes.  It seems like there is something new everyday. What a crazy, wonderful experience it is being a mom!
