Briggs is SEVEN Months!

Our boy is 7 months old and continues to be such a joy to us! He is still pretty chill but is also starting to become super playful and more outgoing! Here's the latest on our littlest bubba:




Weighs: At his 6-month checkup, this guy weighed 19lbs. Still on the heavy side :) , and he was about average length-wise.

Sleeps: Briggs is usually ready for his morning nap around 1.5 hours or so after he wakes up for the day. That nap can last anywhere from 1-2 hours. Same goes for his afternoon nap, which usually happens around 1pm-ish. For about three weeks or so, Briggs was sleeping through the night with waking up. It was awesome! But for the last two weeks, he has hit a sleep regression. He's been waking at least once (sometimes two or three times) a night. He's also had a little cold which isn't helping sleep matters. Hopefully he'll be back on track soon!

Eats: This boy LOVES food. He eats at least two "meals" a day, and he is still breastfed. If he sees food or sees you eating food, he'll spit out his paci and wait for you to share! I have to turn away from him if I don't want him to see what I've got! :) He has started eating puffs (or "puffers" as Wells calls them) and yogurt melts as well. His pincer grasp is getting better, and he can usually get a puff to his mouth.

Wears: He is wearing 9-month and 12-month clothes and is still in a size 3 diaper.

Plays: He loves to sit up (unassisted now) and play with toys. He likes when there's a lot going on. He cruises all over the house in his walker and gets into everything. His favorite toy is the trash can! We have to keep him from the kitchen trash can every single day! He likes his jumper, but he's not really a fan of his swing anymore. He likes to be outside and likes getting baths. He just figured out that he can splash in the tub, so that's super fun (and super wet!).

Milestones: He is saying "mama" now. He isn't necessarily calling me, but it is definitely his favorite word...really his only word. He started sitting up last month but has really perfected it this month. He even sits up in the tub now! He's also working on mastering the pincer grasp.

Time is flying, and it's hard to believe that our boy is already 7 months. We love him to pieces!
