7 Months...a little late!

Oops! We are so behind on our updates on Drake! He is now 7 1/2 months old. Despite having trouble this winter with sickness (pneumonia, bronchitis, & ear infections) Drake's development amazes me. I forgot how exciting this time is. Every day he learns/experiences something new. He is so happy all the time. Even if he was hungry, poopy, and hurt you could still get a huge smile out of him. So, when I took him to get shots he was right at 7 months and he weighed in at 15 lbs. 2 ozs. We didn't measure so I'm not sure about that. I know he is a shorty! He is still small but has picked up some serious weight in the past month. He loves to jabber. He can now say mama, dada, ball, bath, pop-pop, & "Bob". We don't know who Bob is but it sure is fun to here him say it. Even his doctor was amazed at his talking. He waves to people all the time. He's trying so hard to clap his hands! His new thing this week is wanting to stand holding on to something. He has absolutely no interest in crawling. He was scooting a bit like a month ago but now thinks it's funny to just roll as soon as he's put on his belly. He rolls to get to things. He's going through a phase right now where he is not sleeping so well at night. Ugh! He takes a great 2 hour nap in the morning. Hopefully he will start sleeping well again soon:) Oh and Kyle & Jill noticed him grabbing his diaper when he goes pee-pee last week. He does it all the time now!

Now we are just waiting on his two new cousins (Twin girls) and his little girlfriend (Jill & Kyle's baby) to arrive in the next month or 2! We are so excited and I will post an 8 month update in a couple weeks!
