That's right folks, Caleb is 7 months old today. Crazy! The last 7 months have flown by and tomorrow (*sigh*) is Caleb's first day in nursery and my first day back at work from maternity leave. I can't believe that it's here already! As I look back at the past 7 months it's incredible how much Caleb has changed and grown, creating this little boy with such a distinct personality.

In any case, Caleb is now 29 inches long. I don't know how much he weighs, so don't ask. In the past week and a half he has become obsessed with finger and table foods - basically anything that's not pureed. Don't get me wrong, he still eats his regular foods, but he LOVES to eat everything that Scott and I are eating. This obsession began when we were on the plane to Prague and he decided that he should be allowed to eat anything that we were eating. Needless to say, his favourite food is now yogurt raisins (probably because they are the sweetest thing he has ever had). He gets so excited if he sees them, waving his arms around, jumping up and down, and grunting with excitement. So cute.

Caleb is working on cutting his third tooth (a top one!) so the last few days have been riddled with drool. He's never been a very drooly baby, even when cutting his first two teeth, but apparently his top teeth are different. In the meantime, he's also biting everything. And let me tell you, this is not a great thing.

He is still working on crawling, though he has not yet been successful in going forward. For the past couple of weeks he has been successfully pushing himself backward, however. He can stand with ease while holding on to something, and has even learned to use his arm strength to hold on if he starts to lose his balance. However, he has not yet figured out how to pull himself up to that standing position.

Anyway, that's my little 7 month old kiddo. Thought you might also enjoy a slideshow of pictures from the last month(ish).
