Happy 7 month birthday!

Sometime prior to Connor's 7 month birthday his hair became too goofy to let go. Everywhere we went, the first comment from strangers was always "Wow! look at those cheeks!" followed immediately by "and that hair!" It took some time to convince Brooke, but I finally got her to let me give Connor a buzz cut with the #2 clippers.

Despite the fact that Connor now has his two bottom teeth, he has yet to take a liking to any solid food. So far we have tried egg yolk, banana, avocado and sweet potato. The first and only time we gave him avocado, he had "digestive issues" for the next two days, which may or may not have been related to the avocado, but we are not interested in trying again.

Connor's pediatrician does however suspect a dairy allergy and recommended Brooke stop eating dairy. Since Brooke went dairy-free, a number of Connor's symptoms have improved: - nasal congestion from birth has completely cleared - constipation - he went from pooping once per week to now once per day - less fussiness while sleeping

Poor Brooke needs to give up dairy until she's done nursing. And by proxy, the rest of the family is suffering too. I can't remember ever going this long without any pizza.

Connor is getting increasingly uncooperative during our photo shoots. He won't smile. He's either tearing at the label on his shirt or he's trying to jump off the chair…

Connor's hair has gotten quite long. A bit too Rod Stewart for our taste… DSC_0086-Edit.jpg DSC_0097-Edit.jpg DSC_0075-Edit.jpg

Connor loves to crawl into our bookshelf cubbies…

Here's a video of Connor eating his first solid food - hard boiled egg yolk mixed with breast milk. We'll continue to introduce one new food each week. Next up….BANANAS!
