Miles is 7 Months

Well, Miles has hit 7 months and (luckily) is not crawling yet. He is my first to not be crawling by 6 1/2 months, mostly because he gets a lot of attention and doesn't see the need. However, just this week he has started to lift his tummy off the floor, so I see crawling in the near future, which means I will have to start picking up and cleaning the floors a heck of a lot more. *sigh* He does scoot his body and roll around the floor to get to a toy or something, so he does what he can to get where he wants.

Miles, unfortunately, spent the past month sick. First with bronchiolitis, then a sinus infection, and then pneumonia. The antibiotics for the pneumonia ended up giving him a rash all over his body and abdominal pain, so that's the only issue right now. Luckily the pneumonia is gone and he is breathing well now. 

Miles has been saying "ma ma ma", "ba ba ba" and "da da da". When he wakes in the middle of the night he always cries "ma ma ma" and when he wants a bottle, he always says "ba ba ba". He loves to play and loves being read to. His favorite book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. He likes trying new flavors and textures, especially if they are french fries or sorbet.  

Miles has started trying to put his binky in our mouths, which is pretty cute. I look at it as the beginnings of sharing. Ha ha! He loves to play Peek-a-Boo and have silly songs sung to him. He is still just as sweet as ever and still prefers to be held and talked to or played with than having to entertain himself. I guess he figures there are four people in this house who can entertain him, so some one better do it! And usually that some one is Jett.

Miles loves to look at and study faces, especially if they are other babies. We have a diaper box in our closet that has a big picture of a baby on it. Miles will sit there and just smile at it every now and then, thinking it's another baby. He does get a little disappointed that the baby doesn't move though. 

We love this awesome kid! This year is going by way too fast!
