Robbie is 7 months old!!!!!!!

Who knew 7 months could go so quickly? I guess if you are a parent you do! Robbie is 7 months old today. Crazy! Unfortunately I had to take him to the doctor Monday and found out that he has an ear infection (just the right ear this time). He still weighs 19 lbs, 4 oz. Size 3 diapers seem big on him, but he's quickly growing out of 6 month clothes. We have clothes out up to 9 months, so we're ready for him to keep growing.

Robbie is doing so well sitting up by himself. He can even look around without falling over. When we go to a restaurant we put him in the high chair like a big boy. As long as he stays entertained, he's fine. Robbie gets into the crawling position, but so far there is no movement. We are building up his solid foods. He gets cereal in the morning and a veggie at night. We've done sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and zucchini. He didn't like the zucchini, but I think it's because it wasn't pureed. By the way, pureeing peas is a messy endeavor! Robbie talks up a storm. Both Matt and I heard him say "carrot" one time. If it was just one of us that heard it, I'd probably dismiss it, but we both heard it. He hasn't said it again, though. Robbie is starting to chew, though his favorite thing to chew on is still his fingers. If you hold Robbie's hands up he will stand up. Robbie is still not sleeping through the night. I think we'll start working on it more next week when he's off the antibiotics.

Did you notice that Robbie is in the same outfit in his 5 month and 7 month pictures?

We're pretty sure that Robbie and Simba are going to be good friends. Simba likes attention and Robbie likes to give it to him. The only problem right now is that Robbie doesn't know how to pet. He likes to grab Simba's fur and tail. For the most part Simba deals with it or goes away, but he did scratch Robbie one time.

The pictures are dark because I was trying to take them without being noticed. I didn't want Simba to run away.
