Sullivan is Seven Months Old!

















* Sullivan weighs about 17 pounds..
* He wears size 3-6/6-9 month clothes, and he wears one-size cloth diapers (size 3 in disposables)
*He can roll over from back to front and front to back. It's funny to watch him roll and wiggle to get across the room. He is also sitting like a champ! He has started pushing up on his hands and knees a little, too.
*He loves to hold onto things and puts everything in his mouth!
* He loves to be in his swing, in the Bumbo, or when I wear him
 * He nurses every 2-3 hours. When he takes a bottle, he'll drink 4-5 ounces.
*He's started eating solids! So far he's tried sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash, zucchini, avocado, bananas, pickles, tomatoes, and green beans.
* Sleep: not doing so well in this department! He usually wakes up every 2-3 hours. He takes 3-4 naps a day, but they only last around 30 minutes. Sometimes he takes longer naps, but that's hit or miss.
*He loves to sleep on his stomach or side. As soon as I lay him down, he flips over.
*He has a tooth! His bottom left front tooth is just barely poking through the skin.
*He smiles and talks all the time-he is the happiest baby! He loves to laugh and giggle.
*His eyes are constantly changing color-they will be blue/gray, then hazel depending on lighting and his outfit.
*He is a chatterbox! He talks all of the time. He will say "dadada", but not in reference to Daddy. :)
* He is loved by his big brother, and the feeling is mutual. Sullivan lights up and just grins when Fisher is around. They sit across from each other at the dinner table, and Sullivan is constantly smiling and talking to Fisher. The first thing Fisher does in the morning is run to Sullivan and give him a hug and a kiss.
*We call Sullivan Brother or Brother Bear more often than we call him Sullivan. So much so, that Fisher tells me his name is "Brother John Nelson"
* Nicknames: Sully, Brother, Bug, Brother Bear
