The months are flying by, and Justus is now closer to his first birthday than he is to the day he was born. We celebrated 7 months just days before Christmas.
At 7 months, Justus is:
- 20 lbs., 2 oz., and 29 inches long
- wearing 12 months clothes
- still exclusively breastfed/not had any non-mommy-produced food yet
- taking 2 to 3 naps/day
- usually eats 1 to 3 times at night
- sleeping with Mommy and Daddy at night and in our bed for naps
- climbing and crawling a lot
- generally a happy boy
- very healthy–has not been sick yet (though, since I’m posting this a few days past his “month-day” he has since gotten his first cold, on Christmas Day, nonetheless–seems to be more of a reaction to the dry air in our house at nights)
- often seen going around with his tongue hanging out of his mouth
- loves to chew on my Camelbak water bottle spout
- doesn’t seem to have separation anxiety yet
Learned:
- how to splash in the bath
- to go from crawling to sitting on his own
- to play in a kneeling position
We’re so thankful for this little guy, and continue to pray that God will use him, specifically to show justice and shalom in our broken world.
Such a cutie!! Welcome to the world of boys’ bathtub splashing.
It’s a whole different game…
