Seven Months

At seven months old Dane is already trying to be on his own. He no longer wants you to hold him or sit him on your lap. He turns around and around and arches his back to get down. He wants to be on his own doing his own thing. It really breaks my heart because I just want to sit and cuddle with him but he isn't having any of that! If you put him on the floor to play he gets frustrated and grunts and moans because he is mad he can't move. I guess I am just going to have to let him get mad enough that he learns to move on his own. I am sure dreading that day because I am going to have to be on alert every second of the day. He is such a busy body. He has even a shorter attention span than his dad, he goes from toy to toy to toy. He loves to scream and spit / blow bubbles. So far he is still just eating pureed foods. I have tried to give him puffs and other textured foods but he is not at all interested / ready for them. His sleeping is much better these days. He is back to taking pretty decent naps during the day as long as you watch for his sleepy cues and he is back to going to bed at 7. The last 2 weeks I have worked full time and it is so hard to get home at 5:30 and pretty much only have time to feed and bath him before he goes to sleep. Thank goodness I am back to part time now. I miss my baby boy. He also has 1 tooth in and another possibly two more coming in behind it. It is so cute to see him smile.
