7 months old

Eoin is 7 months old today! He now weighs in at just under 24 lbs and is 30.5 inches long. That's a gain of 10.5 inches and nearly 17 lbs in 7 months!

Apart from being a big boy Eoin is now mobile - not crawling but rolling. He will now roll almost anywhere in the house. We found half under our bed the other day and today he rolled to the cat's water bowl and started splashing in that. Guess what we are doing this weekend - baby proofing!

The other really great thing he has started to do is reach out for us when he wants to be picked up or come to us from someone else's arms. Eoin also now recognizes us in photographs. We were looking at the family photos on the wall the other day and he started to smile and reach out for the photos of us. It's so great to see that he recognizes us and knows who we are.

Eoin continues to eat like a champion and has started finger foods like crusty bread, cheerios and soft fruits. He will also now grab the bottle from you and put it in his mouth and hold it for an entire feed.

Eoin 's teeth still aren't up! He has two big bumps on his bottom gum but no teeth; needless to say he is chomping on everything but not really drooling much (which is nice).

His favorite toys are now things that make noise like his maracas, drum and anything that crinkles especially paper. But most of all he just loves anything he can chew on.
