7 Months - Ryker

My baby boy turned 7 months old today! Mobile is the best descriptive word for Ryker these days. He loves to sit, crawl, pull up to stand, cruise on furniture, climb stairs, and today he even stood by himself for about half a second. There is no stopping this kid! Trouble is another descriptive word for Ryker. He loves to find power cords and every little speck on the floor goes directly into his mouth. He also likes to beat up on his sister every time that I lay her down for a diaper change. Every once in a while he'll stop moving long enough to get a little snuggle and nursing session in but as soon as he guzzles his milk he's back to playing again. As far as sleeping goes, he continues to get better. He usually takes two 2 hour naps and a third catnap during the day and at night he usually wakes up once to quickly nurse and then go back to sleep. We've been exploring more solid foods this month and he absolutely loves it. He seems to especially like pancakes and graham crackers although he'll eat most anything we give him. He's recently started to sign 'more' during meals on occasion. We love using sign language with Ilyana and hope that he'll pick up on it too. As far as vocal sounds go he mostly just screams, both happy and mad screams, or growls. He thinks it's hilarious when we growl back. I love my little monster and have been enjoying watching him grow!
