Max is 7 months old!

Seven months- wahoo! Here are some updates on my little man this month.

Max is rolling from tummy to back both directions, NOT from back to belly quite yet. He grabs his toes and rolls from side to side, but not all the way over. Still working on sitting up. Just today I noticed that he is trying to pull the rest of his body up when he pushes his chest up. Maybe we will have a crawler sooner than we thought!

Max favorite activities: grabbing his toes, rolling, jumping in his jumper, putting everything possible in his mouth, and "the swim." He does this hilarious thing while he is on his tummy- he pushes up, and then lifts his arms and legs off the ground, arches his back, and kicks his legs like crazy. It looks like he is trying to swim! We just watch him and laugh and say "kick-kick-kick Max!" We love it! He does in non stop. It also kinda reminds me of Mission Impossible when Tom Cruise is dangling from a cable inches from the floor and he can't touch it. This is another thing that I have GOT to figure out how to post a video of.

Max's favorite things to play with are his bee, his red monkey, and lots of non toys, namely water bottles and watches. I don't know why. I think he likes water bottles because they crinkle and make noise when he holds them, but I don't know about the watches.

I don't know how much he weighs right now, but the kid is a beefer. I don't know how a tiny preemie turned into my "chub-chub" (I know, the nick name's going to haunt him), but it has happened all the same. He is still nursing, but we have recently introduced some baby food too. He seems to like it! So far he has had carrots, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, apricots, prunes, peas and peaches. He pretty much likes them all but the peas (duh).
