Micah Owen, you are 7 months old!
You are the proud owner of two bottom teeth! They have been working through all month and are pretty cute!
Micah you've been growing and trying new things with your body. These days you like to get up all 4's and rock your body. You are also starting to push yourself and slide backwards. This is easier for you on the hardwood floors than on the carpet. You are definitely getting stronger as you will do a full body plank from time to time or put your body into a downward dog position. You have also been practicing sitting up with a pile of pillows surrounding you.
You continue to explore new foods and have tried yogurt, pears, sweet potato, green beans, carrots, bananas, and applesauce. Yogurt and Green Beans are your favorites.
Micah you are still very much our pacifier kid. You love having it in your mouth when you go to sleep and sometimes we put another one in your hand to hold just so that you don't play with the one in your mouth. You still enjoy bouncing in your bouncer, but you definitely do not like to be contained for very long in it unless your brothers are playing with you.
This was a big month for you Micah. Because of the pandemic you have not been exposed to many people outside of our family. We had an annual trip to Lake Chelan planned with friends. As we got closer to the time of the trip there was a lot of back and forth conversations as to whether we would still go on the trip and how people were quarantining. We decided that it felt like a safe trip to take with friends and it was a truly great time for everyone after months of being isolated. You on the other, did not quite know what to think of having other people around you. The first day you were incredibly fussy and clingy. You kept needing to know where mama and papa were. With time though you grew more comfortable and even let others hold you. It was definitely a lot more excitement than you were used to! You even went on your first boat ride, and while you were skeptical at first because of the life jacket, you eventually started to enjoy it and even fell asleep.
You also went on a second family camping trip! You really enjoyed being outside. Just like our first trip you had a rough first night falling asleep in the tent, but then did better after that. Your favorite is when papa would wear you around for walks.
During your 8th month we think you are looking forward to going to your first pumpkin patch.
Here are some photos from your 7th month.
