Luke's 7th Month

This was a big month for Luke!  During a good 6-month well check, our pediatrician recommended we do sleep training with him to help him sleep through the night and it worked perfectly in just a few days.  Yeah for sleeping through the night again!

Also at that appointment, the pediatrician asked if Luke was having any separation anxiety.  When I answered that he wasn't, the doctor said nonchalantly, "He will."  And, as if in fulfillment of prophecy, Luke soon started having serious separation anxiety.  He would cry whenever I left the room, and gave a couple of babysitters a very hard time.

Luke also started sitting up this month.  Check out this big boy!

And he began crawling!  He just did the Army crawl, and only occasionally got his knees under him.  Need proof?

The kids were really excited about the crawling, and they also loved that he began "eating like a big boy!!!"  Yes, he had his first solid food this month.  He did great with the cereal we started with, and let each sibling have a turn feeding him.

  

Luke also wanted a turn feeding himself.

Once he mastered cereals, I gave Luke some mashed up avocado.

He wasn't a fan.

A big month, right?  And here's a look back...
