7 Months!

Dear Derek,

You are now 7 months old!

You can:
Sit up
Pull up to standing
Roll over
Crawl
Babble "ma-ma-ma"
Smile
Wave
High five
Reach and grab
Pinch and twist
Jump in your "Jumperoo"

You eat:
Rice cereal
Peas
Green beans
Squash
Sweet potatoes
Carrots
Bananas
Pears
Pear Juice
Apples
Apple Juice

You still like to be nursed, but you do use a sippy cup (with handles!) to drink your (very watered down) juice.

You love your dogs.

At your 6 month check up you weighed 16.2 pounds (25%ile) and that is almost double your birth weight!

You were 26 1/2 inches long (50%ile) and your head was 44 1/2 centimeters (75%ile)!

You are getting to be such a big boy!

We love you so much more than words can express!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
