7 months old!


Ryker turned 7 months old on Saturday. All I can do is look at him and wonder, where did the last 7 months go? How is he possibly that old already?! I know I have wondered that every month since he was born, but man he has grown up fast! He is doing so well! He has learned to sit up on his own, and he is so close to learning how to crawl. He loves his toys and playing with his sisters. He thinks they are so funny! He loves to grab you and give you kisses (or suck on your face really). He loves to eat! He eats any baby food I give him and wants our food whenever he sees us eating. He is a great sleeper, and just a great baby overall! I can't believe how good and easy he has been! Hopefully I don't jinx myself by saying that about him!

We went to the doctor on Friday for his 6 month check up (at 7 months cause my doc is so hard to get into). Here are Ryker's stats:

Length: 28" 75th%
Weight: 19 lbs. 50th%
Head: 45 cm. 75th%


His growing has slowed down tremendously which the doctor said is completely normal for babies this age. He is still a big boy, just not growing quite as rapidly as he was at first, thank goodness! He was so good for his shots. He got four and he hardly cried! He showed his sisters how to be tough for shots!

We love Ryker so much and are so glad he is a part of our family!!

He is a doll! I can't believe he is 7 months already. It seems like the more babies you have the faster they grow.
