Marco 7 Months

SEVEN MONTHS - 8.22.2015

• Out of the blue this baby became active! He wiggles and crawls and is happy all the time! 
• We have put away all the 3 month clothes and pulled out larger sizes, but Marco is still a tiny baby. 
• Marco has continued to eat a new baby food about every 3 days, but really prefers foods that he can grasp in his hands and shove into his mouth himself. He gets too excited and unless I pay close attention he has a mouth full of food and can't break anything down to swallow.
• Second tooth came in.
• The biggest achievement of this month was that Marco started sleeping through the night. We went through one week of awful sleep training and about 2 hours of sleep a night for Mommy, but after that we put him to bed around 8:00 and he sleeps until about 5:00-5:30. This was a huge improvement and I can't tell you how much additional sleep has made me a happier person.
• Each day he interacts more and more with us and his big sister. Watching the two play together just warms my heart. They have so much love for each other and I just want them to be a tad older so that Marco doesn't get squished every time Lily decides to hug or kiss him. 

And since we were taking photos of Marco, we had to make sure that we included Lily so that she didn't feel left out. So here is her own private photoshoot courtesy of her mother!
