7 months

7 months already? Reid being born in 2020 is something that has been such a blessing to our family. I see so much stress, chaos, depression, and hardship at this time for a lot of people with the things we are dealing with in society. Reid has brought such a light, love, and happiness into our lives that make things so much easier that what I would imagine. He has been born in such a trying time that I know he has a strong soul and I can't wait to see what he does in his life. 

He officially has 1 tooth through the gums (his bottom front left). In turn, he has picked up a habit that I never thought I would see in my kids- thumb sucking. I don't know what I was thinking - like I'm exempt? NOPE. I know, it is such a small thing and I'm definitely overreacting. I am hoping it is something that is a phase that he works through quickly. I have tried to replace it with a pacifier, but that didn't go great. I will say that he has been sleeping a little better since then because he has been able to self-soothe. I am sure that other bottom front tooth is not far behind.

Reid rolls everywhere. He is VERY close to crawling. He will get himself in position and then lounge himself forward and belly-flop. Most of the time he doesn't seem like it bothers him because he gets around just fine that way.

He is taking a bottle pretty good now. We started with just water when he would have table food. I have more recently pumped milk and he has done well drinking breastmilk from a bottle too. Although, when Adam feeds him I can tell he is longing for that mom/son bonding time. He needs to adjust. I love being that person for him, but also love seeing the kids grow into best buds with dad.

So far Reid likes everything we have fed him. We have started hand-eye coordination self-feeding a little bit. But he's not quite coordinated enough (or maybe doesn't know?) to put the food in his mouth, but can mostly pick it up voluntarily.
