Thomas: Seven Months

Thomas is SEVEN months old today. His leg rolls and hand dimples are so very sweet! He is still mastering sitting and loves to be on his tummy to play (finally). I love this stage when you can put the baby on the blanket and they stay there--I know it won't last too much longer. Thomas does NOT like solid food. We've tried several times and he is not interested. If you put anything in his mouth, he will forcefully spit it back at you. He loves to nurse and he's growing fine, so I'm sure the interest in table food will come. Thomas's siblings love him so much and he loves them, too. He just lights up when they come around. However, he would occasionally like for no one to be in his face. ;) His 6-9 month rompers are almost too short to snap, but his pajamas are still okay. He is wearing size four diapers. We love this precious boy!
