When your sister does your hair...

Our little guy is 7 months old! Wow, lots happened this last month. Ira stopped sleeping through the night and we've had a few rough ones. I'm trying to just accommodate him and his needs. He's goes to bed around 8pm (rough estimate) and then I wake him up to feed him right before I go to sleep. He'll wake up one more time in the early morning to eat. Fortunately, Ira is so good at going to sleep! I just lay him in his bed and walk away... that's it! He goes right back to sleep after his night feeds too. I've tried in earnest to feed Ira solids. But he's just really not into it. He really doesn't like being spoon fed. He'll tolerate feeding himself though. Toast was a big breakthrough for him. But he still grabs at everything! No plate is safe if it's within arm's reach or often, when we think it's not within arms reach, it's still not safe. Ira is a lunger! Ira became truly mobile in the last few days. He can pull himself forward and kind of looks like he's worming along. In just a couple days, his speed and efficiency rapidly increased! He's getting into everything! It's so exciting and fun and a bit alarming. It's gonna be a whole new world with two babies moving around! Speaking of babies, Ira is beginning to think E is funny entertainment. It's pretty cute to see Ira belly laughing at his bro. Ira is a very loved baby.

Having an extra big sis around isn't so bad! Look at how much Ira loves K!

Some snaps of me and my youngest. It's hard to jump into the photos sometimes. I'm glad I passed Holly the camera for these!

Ira began lunging for our food at around 4.5 months old. And now that he's old enough to eat, this is what his face looks like:

For a kiddo who has been chomping at the bit to eat, it's pretty funny to see him respond as though just about everything I give him is sour. I'm sure he'll catch on at some point! He likes being at the table with the family so that's something.
