Seven Months

Jude is sitting up (mostly unsupported).  He is trying to drink from a sippy cup.  He is attempting to finger feed himself using a combination of a raking grasp and pincer grasp.  He sleeps 12+ hours at night uninterrupted.  He eats three meals a day with us at the table while sitting (usually fussing) in his highchair.  He loves splashing in the bathtub.  He would much rather be held than left to play on his own.  He is starting to direct his attention in books when being read to.  He plays well in his jumper.  He continues to take a pacifier and sometimes still sucks his thumb.  He loves to watch his mobile or the Baby Einstein lights while falling asleep in his crib.  Morning naps are short but afternoon naps usually last at least two or three hours.  Bedtime is 7 pm and morning begins between 7:30 and 8 o'clock.  He rolls everywhere.  He isn't trying to crawl yet.  He plays with toys.  He seems to like the ones that light up and make sound.  He likes to cover his head with blankets.  He is the most tolerant kid I know.  He loves his big brother and sisters.  He smiles a lot!  The sweetest kid!
