Seven Months

       Alex is seven months old and growing so fast.  He is so tall for his age, that he is not even on the growth charts.  He has to wear twelve month clothes just for his height.  I put him in a nine month pants and they were floods.  He is currently teething his top four front teeth.  He is a bit cranky for him (mainly at night so not a lot of sleep going on) Still he is such a happy little boy.  He has found a new talent clapping his hands.  He is very impressed with him self.  He claps and then looks at us like look what I can do.  He doesn't crawl yet, but rolls where he wants to go.  Our doctor told us that not expect him to hit certain milestones when his sister met them.  Honestly I am not ready for him crawl, that means baby gates and policing the girls toys even more then I do now.  He has started eating more real food at this age then his sisters did.  He is constantly trying to get food from us.  He loves cheerios, toast, waffles, shredded cheese and eggs.  He is at the grabbing stage he loves to try and grab his sister's hair.  They are really good at telling him no and gently pulling his hand away.  He has a lot of stranger anxiety and cries if someone he doesn't know well holds him or if he doesn't feel well he cries even if he does know them.  Or if you say Arrrrr.
