Palmer is now seven months old! To commemorate the occasion, he decided to begin sitting up on his own. I still make sure to put the Boppy behind him or be sitting nearby so he doesn't bonk his head on the hard floor or coffee table, but he's doing a great job! My parents came over for dinner last night and afterwards we did a little photo shoot out in the front yard. He humored us by sitting on a quilt in the grass for a LONG time while we got a ton of good pictures! I'll be sure and post some of those soon. Here he is playing with his stacking rings- classic toys are the best!
skeptical of the TV. . .
Happy on the changing table, chewing the tag on his Easter bunny. Tags are the best part of plush toys- didn't you know that?
Palmer is gobbling up his "solid" foods twice a day and I think we'll up the frequency to thrice pretty soon. He has eaten carrots, peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, chicken with veggies, bananas, oatmeal, rice, corn, pears, apples, and broccoli so far. Pears and carrots are his favorites (since they're so sweet I think!) and he doesn't really like the texture of the chicken. All of his food has been homemade so far except two Gerber meals he's had while out and about. I think we'll stick with homemade from the freezer at home, but Gerber food is so easy to toss in the diaper bag since it will keep at room temp til it's opened.
Empty water bottles are the toy of the moment. They make a great crackly noise and can be crushed to fit in one's mouth for gumming. Who wouldn't love that? One of Palmer's favorite activities of the day is sitting in his Bumbo on the floor in the kitchen to oversee the morning feeding of the cats. He loves looking at kitties- and at feeding time all five are in one place! This = heaven. Here he is this morning. . .
the kittens eating. . .
He also likes to bend down and scratch on the rug. . .
This age is so much fun! I wish the weather would cool off so we could spend more time outside during the day. It would be great to plop him down on a quilt and get some fresh air! Hopefully the heat will let up sometime before I have a crawler on my hands.
