You've begun to go down for your naps without bawling. And it's nice to note that you're sleeping longer with each nap you take. You're down to 3 naps now: one during the mid-morning, one right after lunch and one in the late afternoon. You're able to last about 2.5 hours-3 hours in between now so Mama has had to work out some sort of schedule to plan things to do with you.

| Look, Ma. One hand only! |
For one, you love practising sitting up these days. It's almost becoming natural to you. For two, we've even caught you trying to stand up in your cot. I suppose cot-life is boring and one must try to entertain oneself sometimes when one's parents are busy.

| Please, I'll die in here |

| Hey, there's potential for escape! |
It's also beginning to be fun to dress you up in cute onesies. I believe it has something to do with you being more 'grabable'. I'm sure it's every parent's dream to be able to make their kids look ready for a runway show - boys included. Of course, boys simply don't get much choice when they're older but certainly you're spoilt for choice at the age you're at now. Or at least, Mama is. I wouldn't say I went overboard by colour-blocking or anything. But I did wrap you in pretty funky gear, as the camera would testify.

| Now I look legit |
You're going through some sort of growth spurt these days which means you're not taking forever to finish your milk. When it comes to solids, you seem to be enjoying the small range of delights Mama has been preparing for you. Oatmeal, rice cereal, blended steamed spinach, tomatoes, broccoli and not to mention, steamed, diced pear and apples, as well as mashed potatoes. There's a way of telling if you like your food: you don't push the spoon away. Thankfully, you're not the sort that slingshots food at the wall with your hand. At least not yet.
I admit that some time round about this month, Mama made a bit of a boo-boo introducing you to carrots a little too early in the game. A teaspoon into your rice cereal would've been enough but I seriously thought a tablespoon would keep you full for longer. Of course, this boo-boo of Mama's translated into poo-poo for you. 7 sessions of it, in fact. Which is a bit of an irony given that you're 7 months old this month!
You haven't stopped putting everything into your mouth. And this includes a chunk of Mama's shoulder (ouch!) when Mama's carrying you. Just as well that we started introducing you to the swimming pool. Maybe you'll have less anger issues with water therapy.
