7 months already

Seven months young today. I've never met a happier baby. He will smile back every time you grin at him. He can't resist-even if it's just out of the side of his mouth. Rafael rolls constantly now. He giggles when you tickle his belly. Rafa loves tags. He grabs and reaches for everything in reach. He is enjoying avocados, puréed squash, applesauce and some cereal. I'm the morning, he spends about 5-10 minutes "talking" to me. He hates to go down for a nap. He cries and needs either an upright hug, a blankie that smells like mommy or a ride in the stroller. Naps are never easy, did I mention that yet? Just shy of 7 months, he started sleeping through the night. 10p-5:30a. It's been heaven sent lately. We were a few days away from losing our minds. It was 2-3 times a night for no particular reason.

All in all- we're pretty lucky to be his parents and Sisto is very lucky to have him for a brother (though, his grabbing has been putting Sisto off with the cars or hair, etc.).
