7-Month David

 If I were to describe David in three words I would say he's laid-back, curious, and adorable. David has a very content, easy-going personality.  He loves observing people and exploring the world around him.  He's an attention getter.  His small size combined with his big smile and bright blue eyes attracts admirers everywhere we go.

New Developments In The Last 2 Months

• He is eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.  He's not a picky eater.
• I've introduced finger foods to him, although they're not a part of his regular diet yet.  He loves graham crackers best.
• His balance continues to improve.  He can sit by himself for short periods of time.
• He knows how to shift objects from one hand to the other.
• He can pull himself on the floor a little.  I think he'll be crawling soon.
• He babbles.  I love it when he says, "Ma-ma-ma-ma."
• He is finally getting some hair!  It sticks straight up!

Little quirks:

• He still only sleeps in his swing at night. He is a light sleeper.  I think he likes the snug feeling of being in his swing and hearing the white noise as he rocks back and forth.
• He is a tiny little guy, but he has a very healthy appetite.  He loves to eat.
• He is a social boy!  He is not shy or bashful about meeting new people.  He loves seeing new faces.
• He is very alert and observant!  He spots me everywhere I go.  I cannot hide from him or sneak away anymore. 
• He is obsessed with paper and plastic.  He's definitely in the "package-is-better-than-what's-inside" stage. 
• He is still Mr. Sensitive Skin.  We cannot use baby shampoo or any other fragrant soap when we bathe him, and we cannot put sweet-smelling lotion on him.  Cetaphil has become our new favorite brand.
