7 Months

Okay, so I realized I haven't done a 7 month post yet, I've been such a bad blogger.

Here are the 7 Month Milestones:

Movement Milestones

• Rolls both ways (front to back, back to front)- He's pretty much got this down now. A little slower on the front to back, but he's rolling all over the place.
• Sits with, and then without, support of her hands- Yep, he's been doing this for awhile now.
• Supports her whole weight on her legs- Yep.
• Reaches with one hand- Mostly uses both hands, but I've seen him use just one.
• Transfers object from hand to hand- Yep
• Uses raking grasp (not pincer)- Yes

Visual Milestones

• Develops full color vision- Who knows
• Distance vision matures- Hard to tell about these.
• Ability to track moving objects improves- He's good at tracking.

Language Milestones

• Responds to own name- Sometimes. We have so many nicknames, I don't think he knows which is which.
• Begins to respond to “no”- Haven't seen it, but we don't ever tell him no, we just take things away.
• Distinguishes emotions by tone of voice- Yes. This is funny to watch when Landon is talking to him. Sometimes he'll laugh at a word, but if Landon says it in a different tone he'll cry.
• Responds to sound by making sounds- Yes.
• Uses voice to express joy and displeasure- Displeasure yes, haven't noticed joy, except laughing.
• Babbles chains of consonants- Not really. He does like to talk with the pacifier in his mouth.

Cognitive Milestones

• Finds partially hidden object- Yes
• Explores with hands and mouth- Always
• Struggles to get objects that are out of reach- Definitely. He really gets mad if he can't reach something he's trying to crawl to.He  keeps crawling backwards.

Social and Emotional Milestones

• Enjoys social play- Yep
• Interested in mirror images- Definitely!
• Responds to other people’s expressions of emotion and appears joyful often- He's very smiley at strangers and people he knows.
