Oh my, to say we are obsessed with this little man is an understatement! He is truly our cherry on top, our grand finale. Our lives have been forever changed, and we can't even imagine life would be like without him!!
Happy 7 Months Isaiah Jae!
7 Month Highlights:
-You LOVE your jumpee, even so much you've fallen asleep a couple times in it!

| Different day, different nap in the jumpy |
-Christmas this year was super fun, even if you are oblivious to it all! You were a great sport about taking a lot of pictures though with sisters! It was easier to get you to smile in most of them, than it was to get both girls to smile!
-We went to the MCA Christmas pagent, you did great sitting through it all
-Your cousin Emmalynn has come over several times and you don't know what to think of her yet. We are excited to see the two of you grow up so close in age.
-We had some really nice sunny days and spent a good amount of time outside on the swing set or in the back yard. You LOVE the swing and will just sit in there/swing the entire time big girls are out playing!
-This is precisely how you feel about eating. Every single time. Not amused.

Sleeping: You hit a growth spurt/sleep regression for about two weeks this month (at 26 and 29 weeks), which meant less naps, several middle of the night wake ups, and an earlier wake up in the morning. Now that we are over that (thank you!!), bedtime is anywhere between 5 to 6:15 or so, depending on how long your naps were. You then sleep til about 7 am. Mama still wakes you up around 9 pm for a dream feed to get you through til 7 am.
Naps are still rather unpredictable. You go down in the morning around 9 or 9:30, and some days sleep for 2 hours, other days it's 45 minutes. Then the rest of the day is kind of up in the air. When you take a shorter morning nap, you do usually sleep for an hour and a half in the afternoon. Otherwise, if it's a long morning nap day, you take shorter cat naps twice before bedtime.
Eating: You eat 5-6 times a day (during your growth spurt weeks, it was consistently 6 times a day), usually sometime in the 7 am hour, 11, 1:30 or 2, and then right before bed which can mean sometime between 4:30 and 5:30. It takes you still only about 6-10 minutes, and you eat on both sides with the exception to the first feed of the day (although this last week, you've been taking both sides in the morning as well). Mama is able to pump pretty much the volume you eat while she's at work which has been nice (about 20-22 oz/day).
Food on the other hand is a different story. Foods we've tried so far: oatmeal, avacado, carrots, bananas, black beans, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, and various things off our plate you seemed interested in. Foods you've liked: pretty much none of it. Occasionally you will take a few bites, but really you spit way more out than swallow.
