Adam turns seven months on Sunday.  He has developed so much its incredible.  He sits on his own now with the occassional topple over.  He watches people and things of interest go by, if he drops something on the ground he looks down to see where it is.  He is extremely active, climbing all over me and the furniture.  He pulled himself into standing position in his cot a few days ago and he creeps backwards if put on the floor on his stomach.  He is starting to put weight on his knees whilst on his hands - preparing for crawling.  (Let the games begin).  He is super cute and has his own personality.  He still refuses to eat vegetables and only eats cereal, fruits and fruity custard but we are gonna have to start trying those veggies and meats again soon.  He sleeps through still but seems to do a bit of nighttime crying during the night which is really just some crying and then he goes back to sleep.  Sometimes he really cries and one of us gets up and just strokes his head and he goes straight  back to sleep. 
 
He objects if you take something away from him that he is hanging onto and has a very tight grip.  He has strong legs and loves being in standing position.  He weighs 9kgs and is tall and slim.  Adam has a beautiful nature and people comment regularly on what a content and happy baby he is.  He smiles at most people unless he is tired and then he will actually cry at a strange face.  He loves being roughed up and tickled and of course tons of hugs and squeezes and kisses.
 
Adam is just starting to hold his own bottle and I reckon in the next month will be able to hold it and feed himself - yay!  He is still teething but no teeth yet - i believe the first tooth will be at the bottom and will arrive within in the next four weeks. 
 
Adam now sleeps only twice in the day and can stay awake for example from 10.30am to 7.00pm is the circumstances are not favourable for sleeping eg. too many people around all day. 
 
He is an absolute joy and Louis and I are completely taken with him.
