Jbird is 7 months

My baby is 7 months, woooohoooo. Only 5 months away from his 1st birthday, crazy

He got his 2 bottom teeth 2 weeks ago and they are razor sharp. I didn't even know they were in until I felt them when he bit me. I am so lucky that my babies don't have teething issues. At least Tman didn't have any until he got his molars at almost 2 years of age. Here is to hoping Jbird is the same way.

He is still a very happy go lucky and super mellow baby. His smile and giggle are infectious. I tickle him all the time just to hear that joyful laugh. He lights up and starts to giggle like crazy whenever his brother gets near him. I love that he looks up to his brother, I so love this.

Jbird is finally sleeping through the night, happy happy joy joy. I mean 8 to 9 hours uninterrupted, the real deal of sleeping through the night. He started about 3 weeks ago and has yet to look back :). To say that we are excited is an understatement. That's a whole 2 months sooner than Tman did. I am a whole new refreshed person. He usually goes down around 1000 or 1030 and doesn't wake up until 7 or 730, amazing. We've had 2 nights where he slept 10 hours, we were floored. The funny thing is that we didn't do anything different than we did with Tman, this baby is just a rockstar like that :).

Jbird still wants nothing to do with food. I still offer him a new meal everyday and every time he tries to gag himself. This kid I tell you. He does love his milk and can't get enough. I hope he doesn't think that he can just drink milk for the rest of his life :). I am not too worried, I know he will come around. Plus he is a chunky baby at 21lbs and like my Doctor said "he can miss a few meals and still be ok", she is funny like that.

He hasn't nursed in over 2 weeks. I am not happy about that because I love nursing my boy. I have been pumping exclusively and not loving it all. Luckily I am still able to make enough to feed him. I am not looking forward to doing just that for another 5 months. Hopefully he ends his strike and gets back on the boob. It ended too soon and so abruptly, I was so not ready for that. One day he had the sniffles and just stopped nursing. He is feeling better now but every time I put him on he just bites, yikes. Luckily for him, he is one adorable baby

 

and because I love comparing my kids, here is a picture of Tman at 7 months. Hello there handsome

Happy 7 months my sweet Jbird, keep growing healthy and strong.
