Here are E’s seven month pictures with the bear. He is wearing a “Western Govenors University” shirt.

Today E got his second flu shot (he didn’t even flinch when they gave it to him) and I asked them to check his weight. He only weighs 15 lbs 1 oz which means he is now in the 3rd Percentile (he was in the 7th Percentile last month).

I talked with the doctor and he said that wasn’t enough weight gain. After I told him E’s feeding schedule/amounts he recommended I offer E a 2 ounce bottle after I nurse him. He also commented that as kids start moving more they usually drop a few percentages.

I think I will try the 2 oz bottle after I nurse him and go back in a few weeks and have them check his weight again.

Anyway. Here are some new things he’s been doing:

• Sitting up alone
• Eating cereal once a day and a veggies once a day
• Drinks from a regular cup but doesn’t know what to do with a sippy cup
• Blowing raspberries and bubbles
• Takes a “big boy” bath sitting up
• Rolls all over the place when he’s on the floor

I feel so blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby. He definitely makes us smile.
