Spear is 7 Months Old!

Spear is 7 Months Old!

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

Spear turned 7 months old on July 1st. I use What to Expect the First Year to see where he's at in his milestones and development and I purchased his monthly stickers here :)

At 7 months old Spear is doing everything a baby his age should be able to do including:

• feed self a cracker (although I haven't introduced crackers)
• razz (make a wet razzing sound)
• coo or babble when happy
• smile often when interacting with you

Spear can also do everything a 7 month old will probably be able to do including:

• sit without support
• bear some weight on legs when held upright
• object if you try to take a toy away
• work to get a toy that's out of reach
• look for a dropped object
• rake with fingers an object and pick it up in a first 
• turn in the direction of a voice
• babble, combining vowels and consonants such as ga-ga-ga, ba-ba-ba, ma-ma-ma, da-da-da
• play peekaboo

Spear is doing some of the things a 7 month old may possibly be able to do including:

• pass a cube or other object from hand to the other
• stand holding onto someone or something

He cannot yet creep or crawl (although he's def mobile with all the rolling!)

Real life milestone picture:

Spear is not yet doing items that a baby his age may even be able to do including:

• pull up to standing position from sitting
• get into a sitting position from stomach
• play patty-cake (clap hands) or wave bye-bye
• pick up tiny object with any part of thumb or finger 
• walk holding on to furniture (cruise)
• say "mama" or "dada" indiscriminately 

Here are the sibling comparison posts from the 7th month:
