crew is 7 months old

The last month with Crew has been a blast.

A couple days after he turned 7 MONTHS OLD, we went to the lake with my parents! The drive was super long for some reason. There were a lot of people traveling to Eastern Washington and we had to stop to feed Crew and change his diaper a time or two. Oh AND my dad forgot the key to the Pink House so we started driving back. Thankfully, at the perfect time, Gus called and said he might have a key we could use to get into my grandparents place and eventually get into the Pink House. We stopped at the Sultan Bakery while figuring this all out and got the most AMAZING BLT's. It was a blessing and a curse.

Anyways, Crew was a champ. I think it took us 7 hours to get there. While we were there, he actually slept really good. I had him sleep next to me in bed since Damon wasn't there yet [that made it SO easy to nurse him at night]. Once Damon arrived, he slept horribly. He hated the crib hahah. Figures. We dragged a twin bed into the room and put it on the floor for him to sleep on. He liked that more than the crib thank goodness.

When it comes to sleep, he hasn't improved much. Since we traveled this last month, he hasn't been sleeping his nice 4 hour stretches. It's mainly three and sometimes two. Yes, I'm tired. (:

My sister keeps saying just have him cry it out! I'm not quite to that point yet and I'm glad I'm not because this last Sunday, June 4th, in Sacrament meeting, I noticed he has THREE teeth poking out of his bottom gums! I could not believe it haha. He has been fussy sometimes but nothing too bad at all! I'm so proud of him.

OH my gosh. ALSO on Sunday, he started doing THE cutest face where he scrunches his nose and squints his eyes. Its hilarious. Last night he was doing it like it was our secret language. He would do it then I would do it, back and forth. I have no idea what he is trying to communicate by doing it but its absolutely adorable.

I am obsessed with seeing his little personality come to life. He isn't crawling yet but can pivot himself a full 360 degrees. He's on his way! He still hasn't rolled over from his back to his belly, so yes we still swaddle out 7 month old hahahah. He is still loving that pacifier and relies on it to go to sleep.

Baby food!! HE HATES IT. I understand him hating the beef gravy and carrot flavors but he won't even eat applesauce. He wants to grab the food off my plate. I may start trying to get him to eat less mushy foods. I'm guessing he hates the texture of baby food. He will suck on a whole strawberry for hours, but hates applesauce. Who would have thought...
