7 Months Old

Paxton turned 7 months old on February 12th. Every month I say how much he has grown and how much I love this age...but I really do love this age! He is getting so big and is learning how to do so many new things everyday.
Here is a little snapshot of Paxton at 7 months:
He still has a very mellow personality, but will definitely let you know if he wants something. He is a huge flirt and loves to smile at all of the girls...the young women in our ward LOVE him! He has finally figured out his bouncer and he loves to bounce and swing and play with all of the toys. Between that Yo Gabba Gabba and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse we can keep him pretty entertained when we want to get something done! He is all over the place! He can roll anywhere and if we leave him for a second we will often find him like this waiting for us to get him out. He is also getting pretty close to crawling. He can army crawl pretty well and once in a while he can get his bum up in the air but he just can't quite figure out what to do after that! He has popped out 2 almost 3 teeth on the top and 1 more tooth on the bottom, all in the past week, bringing his total up to 4 (almost 5) teeth. Needless to say it was a long week for us last week! In this not so flattering picture you can see one of his new big top teeth! At last check Paxton weighs in at 18 pounds 4 ounces and is still 27 inches long. He is in size 4 diapers and is wearing size 6-9 month clothes.
Paxton is turning into a creature of habit. He loves his nightime routine of a bath, book with day, bottle and bed. He always has to have his blanket the right way and be put in bed so that he can touch his soft crib bumper.
We have started giving Pax baths in the tub and he is not so into it but I think that once we aren't so nervous about it he will relax a little bit!
Oh one more new thing and then I promise I will stop...Pax also recently learned how to blow raspberries with his lips and tongue. When he wakes up in the morning, instead of crying, we can usually hear him blowing raspberries or talking to himself in his bed until we go in and get him.

I love Pax! Cohen and him are finally getting to the age where they interact with one another. Apparently Cohen fought over a toy with Brooks today so watch out! I guess Cohen is a little fighter when he needs to be!
