Zach's 7 month update

Mr. Personality is now 7 months old! I feel like I repeat myself month after month as I say how much he is growing and becoming more like a little boy. I just find it so amazing how fast little humans develop.

Milestones:

Zach man is starting to talk more. He is babbling and trying out consonants. In a blow to dear mom, he mostly says "Da Da." It thrills Adam to no end! Zach also continues to love blowing raspberries and has started to make clucking noises with his mouth.

Zach still can't seem to figure out how to crawl or move around much more than rolling. We do plenty of tummy time, but he just gets frustrated when we put objects out of his reach. He'll figure it out someday! We have a walker that he spends about 15 minutes a day in, and he is a PRO at getting around in that thing. He LOVES the independence of being able to get around on his own.

Even though he can't crawl, little man is starting to pull-up. He will hold onto my shirt and pull himself up to a standing position. He doesn't do it often...mostly because he can't crawl to things to pull himself up on; and because he needs to start from a sitting position. Since he can't pull himself into a sitting position on his own, he can only pull up on things that are VERY close to him (mainly Mommy).


We had to go to the doctor last week for a fever and rash. The doc thought he had Hand Foot and Mouth Disease, but I think he got it wrong because he recovered in less than a day. One fun thing about going to the doctor though is that I get to see how much he weighs. 3 days before his 7 month birthday, Zach weighed in at a whopping 17lbs 9 oz.
