7 Months and Hayden

I took a few pics of Reagan for her 7 month milestone. She has accomplished so much in the last month! She weighs 16.5 pounds and is nearly 26.5 inches long! She started crawling the week she turned 6 months and started pulling up the next week. Her first tooth came in two days after she turned 7 months and the second just 3 days later! I have caught her trying to climb on the couch and even walked in one day to find her standing ON a toy, looking over the back of it! She has yet to say an actual word, but she has said "dadada" a couple of times and what sounded like mama when she was really mad and crying. It won't be long and she will be following Hayden everywhere and talking non-stop.






Hayden is changing so much too. He's had a really good summer with trips to the pool and the park. He has continued mom's day out through the summer and started Tae Kwondo in June. Tuesday and Thursday is quite busy since he goes to school from 9-3 and then TKD at 4. He's talking so well and is quite expressive and animated when he talks. The potty training is almost done! We still use a pull up at night, but for the most part he wakes up dry. We have tried one night (a couple of weeks back) in big boy underwear, but he had an accident when he first woke up and we haven't tried again since. I am proud of him though because once he set his mind to it, he got it down.


I saw a couple of friends blogs where they interviewed their little ones and thought it was a great idea. It will be fun to look back in a year to see how the answers change. I thought I would try it with Hayden and see how he did. It's so neat to think that he's old enough to contemplate answers to questions like this. I could see the wheels turning as he thought about what he wanted to say. (Thanks for the idea ladies!)
