7 months now

Joshua is 7 months old now. He cut his second tooth this week. (Bottom left) Also, he has finally figured out the crawling thing and is getting around. I'm sure he'll pick up speed in no time. This nutty child is pulling up on things--only into a kneeling position, but we have to watch him. His balance leaves a little to be desired... My thoughts: He will be force to be reckoned with! In other news, he is consuming 4 jars of baby food a day and 5-6 bottles. Prediction: Another Max. My pantry shivers with anticipation...

He has an appt. to see a pediatric opthamologist...in FEBRUARY! This medical system is nuts. I'm praying his eye issue will clear up with nary a return. Barring that, I'm going to call a friend who works in this office and see if we can get him in sooner. (He has a clogged tear duct--layman's terms.)

First Food

Here are some pics from Joshua's first feeding. He is now 6 1/2 months old with one tooth. He really didn't like the rice cereal and wanted the bottle more. Today, I added some pears to it and he loved it! The reason I decided to start now is that he is getting up twice a night and I'm beat. He's drinking 7 bottles a day, so I'm adding food to see if there's an improvement on his night waking. Hopefully, Daddy and I will get more rest.

A First!

Joshua cut his first tooth yesterday! I discovered it as he was sucking on my finger. Everything goes in his mouth! He is 6 1/2 months old. He ties Dan for the earliest teether. Baby food will follow soon...
