Seven Months | Milestone Pictures

Clyde is seven months! This month was a month of a lot of firsts for Clyde! He has had a lot of changes to his cute little world and it has been so much fun seeing him learn!

This month Clyde:

Was sleep trained! Toward the beginning of the month, we decided to sleep train, which you can read a little bit about how it went here. We did the Ferber Method! It took a couple long nights, but he hasn’t slept in our room a single time for naps or bedtime since! AND he no longer falls asleep while nursing which has been AMAZING! We stuck it out and it has definitely paid off.
Has started Baby Led Weaning! I’m going to post more alllll about it, but in short: he has started solid, table foods and he loves it!! As soon as we put him in his high chair he knows it’s go time and gets sooo excited!
Has tried: peaches, greek yogurt, roasted sweet potato, meatloaf, baked potato, green beans, peanut butter toast, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, tortilla, cafe rio pork, chicken enchiladas, avocado, balsamic pizza, potato soup, puffs, string cheese & waffles!
Sleeps in his crib.. on his tummy! He is such a tummy sleeper. He almost immediately rolls over as soon we lay him down. He loves it!
Sits up unassisted for good periods of time! He started sitting up at the very end. of last month but now can do it without falling over seconds later! He loves being able to sit in shopping carts now too!
Is still a redhead! Ahh I love it! It’s hard to tell in pictures because his hair is pretty light and he doesn’t have much BUT in the sun you can totally tell it’s red!
Loves to giggle! Especially late at night he gets SUPER giggly. Hahaha. It’s the BEST! He also has started to get when things are funny. Like for example, I tripped and he busted out laughing. Hahaha so there’s that.
Still loves his binkies! At bedtime we put 5 in his crib at a time. Hahah. This way, when he knocks a few out he still has one to find in the night! Our FAVORITE binky is the Dr. Brown one! They have these little animal lovey’s that attach two binkys (so it’s easy to find and can’t fall out) that we found and they have been a lifesaver.
Has learned to drink from an open cup and a straw! He was so happy when we got him a straw cup because he has been watching us drink from straws for months and thought he should have had one months ago! Haha
Went on his first swing and slide! He wasn’t so sure about the slide but loved to swing!
Got his very first pet! Our robotic vacuum! (; Caden was determined “Clyde” needed it sooo we got it. Haha
Has loved having his first friend Ella back in town! They’re the cutest together and always hold hands!
Has moved to size 3 diapers! Still in 6 and 6-9 month clothes!
Is learning to scoot backwards! Has no clue how to go forward but loves slowly getting around by going backward!

This month we:

Volunteered with Blessings In A Backpack! Such a great cause that our sister in law is over that helps give kids food to eat over the weekends!
Went to Dan + Shay (3rd time) and Florida Georgia Line!
Did “no sugar September” which mainly meant no coke. (; I caved at the end of the month for Waffle Luv. Haha
Had a fun family game night with Caden’s parents and siblings!
Caden OFFICIALLY qualified for the President’s Club trip at work! Woo!!
Went to the sunflower festival!
Went to Caden’s mission reunions!

Here’s this month in pictures..
