Axl is seven months old today!

Wow. I feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants here. Another month has flown by and we're still alive. I'm back at UK and having a little more time to spend with Axl has been welcomed with open arms. He's growing like a mad man; when Tyler and I took the pictures this month he said he thought this month he had grown the most so far by far!

He sure is a chunky little guy that absolutely LOVES to eat. I'm still pumping every day at school, but he gets a bottle every four hours now so I only have to pump once while away, which is nice. I still pump the morning bottle, though, so he can sleep in a little later and eat when he gets to the babysitter's. He still only eats solid food twice a day, but I plan on bumping it up to three times daily when I get out of school for the summer--which is SO close, by the way!! He eats cereal and vegetables in the afternoon and cereal, vegetables, and fruits at night. He gets quite a few snacks throughout the day which consist of "Baby Mum-Mums" (a fun little rice cake thing), and some yummy foods (mandarin oranges, plums, bananas) in his Munchkin fresh food feeder, which he LOVES! He still drinks quite a bit of juice and is SLOWLY getting the sippy cup thing down...(I'm probably being optimistic...he just thinks it feels good and gnaws on the mouthpiece...occasionally getting a couple drops out).

Mastered baby foods:
Sweet Potatoes
Carrots
Green Beans
Plums
Prunes
Pears
Apples
Bananas
Rice Cereal
Oatmeal Cereal

Axl is still taking three naps a day. From what I've heard, this is really weird...but with me not being with him all day, I haven't been able to switch it to two--another thing I'll be able to do when school is out. They range from 1-2 1/2 hours which is very nice! He doesn't eat at all through the night and sleeps essentially from about 8:45pm to about 7:30am; though we do have to plug him with the yummy occasionally in the night.
