As it isn't the 26th yet, I haven't taken his 7 month photos. Enjoy these others from the past two weeks instead...

Likes: Sophie the Giraffe (his current favorite toy); all of Arthur's cars; grabbing my hair; all the foods!; his blankies

Dislikes: Nap time; not being paid attention to; not being able to crawl forward and grab his toys

He really liked the pattern on my pants...

Sleeping: Doing decently with night time sleeping. He usually sleeps 8pm to 6am with maybe one wake up. Nap times are still a joke. If we're out and doing things, he usually naps. At home, naps are practically nonexistent. Some days it would be really helpful if he napped even once.

Eating: All the things! He has loved most food that we give him. His current favorites are roasted sweet potato, strawberries, baby mum-mums, and hard boiled eggs. Since we do baby led weaning, he pretty much eats whatever we are eating for dinner. I don't give him super spicy food, but he does get a bit of flavor spice on things. On Saturday we had dinner at a friends house and discovered that Quentin loves mango chutney!

Playing: So much play in this house! He is very interactive with his toys now. He also loves "playing" with Arthur.

Milestones:

Playing peek-a-boo — Somewhat. He laughs when I do peek-a-boo, but don't think he really understands quite yet.
Smiling or waving at people in public — Smiling yes, waving no.
Frustration when not able to get somewhere on his own — Oh yes! So much of this! He wants to get everywhere, but hasn't quite figured out the crawling thing yet.
Preference of one parent — Yep. Q always wants to be with momma.
Faster and more coordinated crawling — Not quite yet. He can roll and scoot around, but actually crawling hasn't happened yet.
Preference for certain foods — He loves sweet potatoes, hardboiled eggs, and strawberries. He likes other foods, but if any of those are on his plate, he gobbles them up first.
Fascinated by his reflection — Yep! Loves playing with his mirror.
Developing a sense of empathy — Hmmm... this one is really hard to judge.

Out and About: In the past two weeks we've been to a ton of events and places.

Happy Hollow -- Q loved the anteater and watching kiddos on the rides. He also got to get out of the stroller and ride Danny the Dragon and play with his friend E.
MVPA Spring Social -- Lots of playing with the other babies and eating tons of food!
Book club -- He usually goes with me to La Tartine for book club. This time he ate tons of eggs, hash browns, and toast and tried to steal Z's socks.
Playdate at our house -- We hosted a playdate that ended up being only one other mom and her kiddos, but it was still fun. Q had a more exposure to other children.
Lots of errands -- The usual...
Dinner at a friend's house -- The hosts don't have kids, but the other family that came have a 6 yo, a 4 yo, and a 10 month old. Q is as big as the 10 month old! They had fun watching the big kiddos play and eating Indian food!

Next up on the TBR pile!
