Alex is 7 Months Old!

Alex turned 7 months old yesterday, October 5. I can't believe how big he's getting! We took him to the doctor today and he weighs 19lbs. 120z. (65th percentile) and is 27 3/4 inches long (70th percentile). His head circumference is 44 cm (50th percentile). She said he'sright on track and doing very well. He's hit all of the milestones they expect babies to hit at 7 months! We were of course thrilled to hear that our little man is growing normally and doing well. He got 3 shots--one of which was a flu shot. He did really well with them though! He cried for maybe 3 minutes initially and then never made another peep. He now has two teeth! His two incisors have arrived and he's doing really well with them. No fevers, no sleepless nights, and minimal fussiness. I know, I know..we're lucky and our second one will be a demon..we've already been told. We have such a good baby though, it's true! He slept through the night at 2 months, hasn't woken up at night since, never spits up, and is just generally very at ease and content most of the time. He pretty much eats all of his baby food, and doesn't seem very picky with anything anymore. He even eats peas okay now! We can only hope that #2 will mimic his/her brothers actions when he/she comes along down the road. We probably won't be this lucky again though! LOL. In other news, we had a family yardsale on Sunday at Maria's house and had eight children running around her house! Maria's two sons, Mary's son and daughter, our son, and Corinne's son and two daughters! It was like a daycare! Very fun though! Three of the kids were under one year! Alex was born in March, Julia in July, and Charlye in September! It's really cool that they'll all grow up together though. Some pictures from the weekend follow. Enjoy!
