5, 6, and 7 months...

Wow! So...I'm really bad about this whole blog thing. I keep thinking that one day I'll get better at it...but that has yet to happen! Since I skipped a 5 and 6 month update, I decided I'd just combine it with his 7 month update! A LOT has happened in Naaman's world since I last filled you in...

*Naaman started sitting up at 5 1/2 months....it's the cutest thing EVER!!! He is so proud of himself and just looks at you and smiles when he does it all by himself!
*His eyes are still blue...can you believe it? We still have NO idea where they came from...but we sure do LOVE them and hope they stay that way!
*His personality just keeps growing and developing. He has started really letting us know what he wants...AND what he doesn't want for that matter.
*Of course he is still happy and content most of the time. Our favorite is when he does his full belly laugh...which happens to be pretty much all the time right now...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It really is intoxicating...and sometimes we make him laugh so much he makes himself sick! Not on purpose of course, but we just can't help ourselves...we want him to laugh 24/7!!!
*We tried solid foods at 6 months and are still unsuccessful. The boy only wants his milk! We started with avocado, then tried green beans, carrots, peaches and now we have back tracked a bit and are trying rice ceral. We thought maybe he just wanted to feed himself and tried some sweet potato puffs...but he does everything BUT eat the puffs! Baby steps...we'll just keep on trying...
*Mr. Naaman still does not have any teeth...but he is DEFINITELY working on cutting some. Anything and EVERYTHING is in his mouth! We think maybe he will get some top teeth before the bottom.
*He had his first ear infection at 6 1/2 months...saddest thing EVER! He woke up one night screaming uncontrollably and would not calm down. NOTHING...and I mean nothing would soothe him.

And now for the good part...here are the pics!!!







This was the first time he sat up all by himself! Brad and I were SO excited. We were screaming and carrying on...you can tell he was proud of himself too...

He LOVES sitting up!!!






This was our first attempt with solid food. We tried avocado but it was definitely a no go! He just closed his mouth and turned his head...Brad and I did everything we could to keep from laughing...it was hysterical! When we finally did get a taste in his mouth he TOTALLY gagged and spit up...

We have tried a number of other things...green beans, carrots, peaches and finally rice cereal...which seems to be his favorite thus far...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way my little Sugar Love Muffin sleeps...SO STINKING CUTE!!!

Brad and Naaman often have "guy" time during Naaman's bath. Since he has been sitting up so well...Brad decided it was time to get rid of his bath sling and just let him sit in the water like a big boy...it was a HUGE hit! Naaman was laughing and screaming and splashing...he really was having a great time. He made one big mess by the time it was all over with too...but it's just water, right?!?

I HEART this face! My sister (Si Si) was over and he was getting really excited...so he kept laughing and scrunching his eyebrows and closing his eyes while he was doing it...FUNNY boy!
