Gunner Blake- 7 months

Our sweet Gunner bear turned 7 months old last Friday!!!

He truly lights up my world!!!

and I'm in love with his sweet personality.

I can NOT believe how fast time flies. Is he really 7 months old??? I can't believe how big he looks in all these pictures! Here's a little bit of what Gunner Blake has been up to the past month!

 
• He is wearing size 12 & 18 month clothing.
• He is wearing his last pack of size 3 diapers! He has been ready for size 4 for quite some time but we were using up all our 3's before we made the switch. His little legs are so chubby.
• He is eating, eating, eating. All the time. He LOVES his baby food but has seemed to lost interest in his formula the past week. I'm a little worried he might not be getting all he needs from the formula so I'm planning on calling the DR about that today. My understanding is 24 ounces in 24 hours and he isn't even coming close to that.
• He has been enjoying some table food. He'll pretty much eat anything we give him. So far he likes pizza, butter toast, marinara sauce, any kind of bread, roll, or biscuit, noodles, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, rice, grits and vanilla ice cream!
• He has been sitting up SO well. Good enough where I feel comfortable enough to sit him down to do something without having to prop pillows behind him. :)
• He is still SO happy & smiley all the time. I hope his attitude never changes.
• He loves attention. From anyone at anytime! :)
• He has started grabbing things and playing with them. He really likes balls. Just like big brother did at his age. Last night he was picking them up and throwing them.
• He's still sleeping in his crib and doing pretty wonderful in there. He still wakes up alot wanting his paci. I'll be so glad when he can get it and put it back in his self. The funny thing is... he doesn't even like the paci unless he's sleeping. And he only sucks it until he falls asleep and then he immediately drops it. Which means any time he wakes up throughout the night, he calls for mommy to come put it back in :)
• He loves, loves, loves his big brother. He laughs so hard at him for really no reason at all. No one can make him laugh like Tuff can. Tuff is so sweet with him. He calls him "brother Blake" instead of Gunner Blake. LOL
• No words yet... But yesterday I had him sitting in his crib while I cleaned up his room a little and when I went over to get him and put my hands out he reached out to me for the first time. I pretty much melted!!!
• He loves to watch Bubble Guppies. HA! This is really the only show we've seen him be interested in yet.

Gunner Blake,

 We love you more than anything! You have blessed us beyond belief these past 7 months. We look forward to many, many more to come!!!!

Happy 7 months sweet boy!!!!
