The Seventh Month Montage
Age: 7 months
Weight: 21.5 lbs
Length: 29 ¾ inches
Health Report: Isaac is still battling his ear infections but is definitely getting better.
* These stats were measured by mom and dad because we didn’t have to have a Wellness Exam.
Isaac is beginning too… have stranger anxiety, show first signs of separation anxiety, scoot, stand with assistance, look for a hidden object, play peek-a-boo, show interest in mommy and daddy’s food and recognize object performance (i.e. if I spin this toy it will make funny noises).
Isaac has mastered… sitting unassisted, dragging objects towards himself(stretches his long body as far as he can to get the toy), passing toys from hand to hand, patty-cake (clapping) and giving Hi-Five’s.
Isaac loves… Baby Einstein videos, his BFF Evan (KinderCare buddy), explore by scooting, pretty much any type of food, games such as “Upside down Baby”, “Flying Baby” and “Falling Baby”.
Isaac currently dislikes… waiting for mom and/or dad to make dinner.
Names we call him… I-man, Bud and Stink Butt.
Proud Parents…It just keeps getting better and better! I-man is so much fun…even during teething (Isaac had his first 2 teeth appear this month) and ear infections. He is really starting to pick up on things. This month he learned to clap, and then that is all he would do for several days. The incessant clapping and shaking his head “NOOOOO” has kept us giggling on several occasions.
While he is usually so much fun, he has started a new habit… his first (of many, I’m sure) temper tantrum, meaning he has realized that if he cries he gets a response from mom and dad. QUICK LEARNER!!! These crying spells usually occur when we put him in his highchair for meals. Why you ask… we aren’t sure either. It’s not like we have ever made his food and then taunted him and not actually given him the food. What a funny kid!
Besides the temper tantrum spells, Isaac is pretty even keeled (Much like is father) and just a joy to be around.

“Grammy, these aren’t toys… these are kitchen utensils!”
Adam, Isaac and I made the trek to good ole Omaha three weekend’s ago. (Yes I know… this post is long overdue!) We were able to spend almost 4 whole days there. We drove in Friday morning stopping at Henry Doorly. See below to see how much I-man liked his first trip to the zoo. We thought he would absolutely love the zoo… but apparently we were way wrong. Realistically, he did really well being that it was cold and rainy!
Saturday Adam spent the day golfing with friends while Isaac and I celebrated Aunty Meg’s graduation. Sunday morning Isaac was baptized at Peace Presbyterian (where AB and I were married). Isaac did AWESOME! He didn’t fuss once! We spent the remainder of the day in company of family and friends.
Monday morning we had family pictures taken. Later Monday AB golfed while Isaac and I made some visits to good friends. Isaac even got to play with someone his own size for awhile. (Thanks Zach for sharing your toys!)
Then thanks to Grammy West and Grandma Judy, I was able to have some adult time and went shopping with Aunty Meg for her new “teacher clothes” and big kid apartment items. I think Isaac enjoyed his time in Omaha, although Grammy didn’t have any toys… she had kitchen utensils! Isaac didn’t care; he thought the spatula was the greatest toy ever!
We made the long drive back to STL on Tuesday. It was great to be home and spend time with family and friends.
