Drew - 7 months

Drew is beginning to pick up the crazy physical traits of older brother, but don't worry, he has a long way to go.

-He sits and is about 95% successful without rocking back (thank you, carpet and Boppy for catching him)
-He's over the activity gym and even the Exersaucer and wants to be in the thick of the real toys with big bro and sis.  He loves the big lego bin, trucks, a musical ball that also has a mirror, shoes on the floor, the remote, books and paper
- He still prefers to look at faces and smile but it starting to develop opinions about what he wants and how frustrated he is when he can't grab exactly what he wants
- He is still a very sweet, mellow, even-tempered baby, and such a joy to be around
- He loves when big brother gives him "morning bounces" in his crib and loves all the crazy jumping and tricks he gets to watch big brother do around him.
- Loves when Eliana reads to him and picks him up like a little doll
- Loves bath time
- One day after turning 7 months, he started army crawling
- Loves to give Daddy big smiles when Daddy comes home from work
- Will now occasionally take the bottle (about 2 oz/time)
- Loves steamed carrots, broccoli, almond butter on bagel, blueberries, pasta with meat sauce
- Doesn't really cry unless super tired or frustrated
- Spends days with mom and Ethan (Tues/Thurs) at the park, running around the backyard or being carted to the activities of big bro and sis
- Loves his baby swing in the backyard
- Takes 2-3 naps/day.  He usually takes a longer morning nap and can hardly make it to 7:00 before getting super sleepy
- Is a joyful, fun baby....we feel so blessed
