Lunch with Auntie Shannen






Matthew and Mommy had lunch with Auntie Shannen today. Matthew was a pretty good boy but was way overdue for a nap by the time we left. He macked on some applesauce and played with his toys while we dined on some yummy enchiladas.

Matthew is 7 Months Old!












So much has happened this month! Matty is crawling with perfection and mastering the art of eating solid foods. He's sitting unsupported and can pull himself to sitting and standing with very little effort. He sings along to music (in his own language of course). He really wants to walk but doesn't have the balance to stand unsupported just yet. Swim time and bath time are his favorites but he also loves to take rides in the stroller and in the car. Dining out is starting to become a feasible option again since he will sit in a high chair now. We are working on finger foods, though he has little interest...the only thing he won't put in his mouth so far are finger foods.




He's weighing in at 17lbs 13 oz, in the 40th percentile and his height is 26.5 inches, in the 25th percentile. He's showing steady growth since birth as well as weight gain and still in the expectant range, although below average. Dr Du is quite impressed with his intelligence and curiosity, remarking that he is the "smartest baby I've seen in awhile". I foresee the Ivy League education I always wanted!
