The Stracener Scene: Luke Month 6 and 7

I have become the worse blogger. And I feel as though all of memories of my sweet children at this age are slipping away because I can't find time to jot them down. I am going to try to play a little catch up this week. This is going to sound repetitive but how is my sweet baby boy 7 months old already?? I think I have been absent from the blog because I do not want to admit his age.

Stats:
6 months: 21 lbs 12 oz, 28 in
7 months: 23 lbs 6 oz

- 6 month dr appt - took the shots like a champ! the last got him a little bit. But he did great! And he even chuckled for the dr. Dr. Rux asked if we had a nickname for him and suggested it should be "Lunchbox". He is a chunky baby but he is thick and super strong. These days my arms get a work out carrying him around.
- During the 6 month we introduced vegetables and we haven't found one he doesn't like. From what I can tell green beans, carrots, and squash are his favorites.
- At 7 months he has rice cereal and fruit for breakfast and a vegetable and fruit for dinner. His other meals are his bottles, which he REALLY loves.
- He can spot a bottle from across the room and get the biggest smile on his face.
- He is grabbing for EVERYTHING and I have noticed big brother starting to get a little annoyed with him from time to time.
- Around 6 1/2 months he sat in a restaurant high chair for the first time and loved it
- 6 1/2 months we moved him to the big car seat rear facing. His weight put him over the limit for the infant carrier. We moved James at 10 months
- Just before his 7 month birthday he cut his first tooth. Bottom middle left. He is currently working on the right one. And this little boy does not like cutting teeth. His temperament is still great during the day but he has a hard time sleeping at night. I thought a little Tylenol would do the trick but I haven't seen great results just yet.
- He is still the sweetest, happiest, and lovable little baby. He can sit for long periods of time watching his brother run circles around him and he is perfectly content.
- He still loves for anyone to break out in song and he really doesn't care which song you sing as long as you are singing.
- At 7 months he is predominantly in 12 mo. clothes
- He babbles and screams and blows bubbles with his mouth. He generally wakes up making all kinds of little sounds that I love listening to through the monitor (that is as long as it is not at 3am).
- He loves grabbing at your face and gets extra excited if he grabs a big chunk of hair

I have included some pics from the past couple of months
