7 months

Another month. A whole new set of tricks.

His 2 bottom teeth finally broke through. Hello, drool! He won't let you get close enough to look at them, but he sticks his little tongue out all the time making sure they are still there. 

I can't believe I ever thought this kid would be a poor eater. In the last month, he's turned into a complete solid food junkie. He eats everything from smoothie to oatmeal to black beans and rice to quinoa and zucchini.  Still working on getting him to take a bottle. So far, he only likes THAT kinda food from one restaurant.... 

Despite my discouragement and promises that mobility is WAY overrated, the kid gets around. He already army-crawls his way across the room with ease, usually on a mission to get one of Keaton's toys or some other thing he's not supposed to have. 

I even caught him pulling up to the TiVo box the other day. Won't be long before he's showing me how to work it.

He said his first word! 

"Mamamamamamamama..."

 I'm pretty sure he knows what it means now too. 

Mark loves his big brother! Keaton makes him laugh like no one else can. One of my greatest joys as a mom is watching this relationship grow as these two interact more every day.
