Stages

It's been awhile since there has been major text to this blog, but here are some recent updates/new things for our little guy at just over 7 months.

-No more swaddle, just sleep sack now (he's "this close" to doing the full rollover from back to belly)
-Can go down relatively easy now to sleep at night, next step is to do away with 10 p.m. feeding and hope he sleeps through the entire night
-Still hasn't cut his first tooth, although it's been working its way up for ~3 months
-Sits up independently
-Just started saying "ba ba" at various times
-Likes to pet Max, and have Max lick his hand when he has food on it.
-Likes paddy cake and pushes your hands together with his when clapping. He gives good slaps of the hand, next step high fives.
-Holding himself up a lot more, the next step will be crawling (yikes)
-Has loved to stand, while you hold him by his arms, hands, or trunks for most of his life
-Loves the bath (I think we may have a swimmer on our hands)
-Holding his own bottle at times. We've started the sippy cup, and he caught on quick, but sometimes he's lazy and wants the bottle.

Sporting event history in his first seven months (if you know us, you know our lives revolve around sports)
-6 M's games (1st at 3 weeks old)
-4 Husky football games (it was too cold for the last 2 in the evening), slept through the UW upset of the #3 (at the time) USC Trojans
-4 Men's basketball games (it's still early in the season, and he'll attend more)-he loves to watch these games, and is so far is very mellow at the games. He's made friends with the girl in front of us.
-1 UW Women's Volleyball match
