7 Months!!

You are sitting up in short increments without support, but you usually fall over reaching for a toy. You push up on all fours, but unfortunately you face plant shortly after! Those 2 bottom teeth are visible but not out yet! You are doing better with your food and have tried carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and bananas! Your verbal all the time making a wide variety of consonants and silly boy noises. We are FINALLY on a 4 hours schedule most of the time... You are ticklish on your sides and right by your collar bone. You also scream while I run the vacuum! Lately you have been sticking out your tongue at us. You no longer stay on your blanket, instead you roll off and usually end up under the table or kicking the bed. You have busy hands and busy feet.

Everything but toys...

It is amazing how you can lay out all of these toys, but all he wants to do is kick the furniture...

Peas

I have decided since I am at home all day that I want to make Tyler's baby food. With all of these stories about things accidentally being packaged into formula and baby food, being able to know exactly what is in his food gives me a little piece of mind. Also, making his food is so much more cost effective. I am able to purchase organic vegetables (frozen or fresh) and make 12 ounces of food for less than the cost of 3 jars of food. I was a little nervous about starting this adventure because some of the foods I want to give him I have never cooked before! BUT, it is so incredibly easy!! I found this website that tells you how to make baby food and if you need to purchase organic or not. I typically only buy the "dirty dozen" organic unless it is on sale.

Today I busted out my Christmas present The Ninja Pulse blender. At first I was going to return this because when you use it you have to hold down a lever on the lid to make the blender run, but it turns out it is actually  better. You have easier control pulsing the the food, so mixing everything is easier. AND IT WORKS! We have gone through a couple blenders and the magic bullet before finding this gem! I microwaved my veggies, blended them, and put them into ice cube trays. Let the eating begin!

Peas was his first taste of real food. I love his reaction to vegetables! I think he is a little more like Grandma Gonyea than we thought!

Photo Shoot tag alongs

Today we met up with Casey to do a photo shoot and Tyler was mesmerized by all of the sticks that were poking up everywhere! He was so determined to reach one of them. It is so cute to watch you explore the world around you! And since you were such a good boy, Casey snapped a cute picture of you too!!

After rolling around on the pillows your have the best hair!

Ty's newest noise

Funny bear

Ty was sitting in his chair and I went to give him his bear from Auntie Lindsay and he started cracking up! Of course the minute we started recording he stopped, but I got a good couple of laughs out of him...
