7 Months!!

Braden is 7 months old today and since I just posted a bunch of pictures for Easter, I thought I would just give updates on the past month. This last month has been so much fun! Braden has now become a pro at sitting up. It was kind of an over night occurrence and he seems to love feeling like a big boy sitting up all by himself. He is also doing much better with baby food. We haven't introduced much since it took about 3 weeks to get used to oatmeal cereal (he prefers it over rice cereal). He has tried squash, sweet potato, green beans, and pears. He no longer shutters and gags with every bite, so we are making progress!

Braden still LOVES to be outside and to go on walks. We are looking forward to spending lots of time outside this summer and just got him a new swimsuit to wear to the pool! And, as mentioned in my last post, I really think we need to get him some shades as well. Braden loves his books. We got a new book this past month called 10 Tiny Tadpoles and Braden loves it! He squeals with excitement when he sees it and kicks his legs through the entire book. He also still loves the Dr. Seuss books that we read.

Unfortunately, we are starting to hit that stranger danger stage. It's not too bad yet, but he definitely is aware of who has him. Luckily he will still give pretty much anyone a smile as along as Jason or I are holding him. He also can be quite silly and has started to cry when we leave the room. Funny boy!

Braden is such a sweet baby and we are having so much fun with him. We are trying to teach him how to give kisses. He doesn't fully get it yet, but he is learning and watching. Today he slobbered my cheek in what I think was an attempted kiss! Progress. We feel so very blessed to have such a sweet little guy in our home!
