It's so hard to believe that Jonah is already 7 months old. When I look at him now, I am not sure that I even see a little baby anymore. He's constantly changing, and crossing a new milestone each day but now when I look at him I see a toddler, a little man and "mamma's little boy!"
Jonah had many many firsts this month... He had is first bout with pneumonia, first hospital stay since birth and first ride in an ambulance! Thank God that he has since recovered from his pneumonia but he gave us all quite a scare this past month.
Jonah is a busy body these days. He is into EVERYTHING and if its in his line of sight he will go after it no matter if it's little or small. He loves to sit on the floor and play with all his toys he also likes to sit on the floor and reach for just about anything even if its not one of his toys. Just yesterday he was surrounded by at least 20 of his toys yet he wanted the remote (typical man, I suppose)! And when I moved the remote out of his sight the next thing I know he was reaching for my blackberry. Just like a kid on Christmas that is more mesmerized by the boxes that the toys came in than the actual toys, Jonah always finds something that is NOT one of his toys to go after.
Jonah hasn't quite mastered crawling yet but he can "scootch" or roll across the floor to get from point A to point B. Even when he is on his belly he will rock back and forth and somehow manages to push himself towards the object he desires. We've had to baby proof the house and all of the outlets have since been covered and anything that could be considered within his reach has been removed or put away. Todd even had to lower Jonah's his crib this weekend as we were fearful that he was way too close to being able to pull himself up and fall out of the crib.
Although Jonah's appetite hasn't completely returned 100% since his battle with pneumonia, he's eating a little bit more and more everyday. Jonah's still only eating stage 1 fruits and veggies and last weekend we introduced sweet potato puffs. The puffs are little star shaped pieces of cereal that when you put them in your mouth and they come in contact with saliva they essentially dissolve. It's an excellent way to get toddlers used to food other than jarred baby food and getting them accustomed to chewing (or I should say gumming) their food.
Since Ohio weather is very unpredictable we haven't been able to take as many walks as I would have liked. When we get home in the evening and it's still warm we try to take in a quick walk, if not we at least try to soak up some Vitamin D and take in some fresh air and swing out back. Jonah absolutely loves the swing and even cries now when you take him out of it.
I can't believe it's already been another month! Moreover, I can't believe how quickly Jonah is growing and how much he is changing!
