Vin turned 7 months today! Here's what he's up to lately: 1) Has become quite a good mimicker - will mimic us when we use the baby sign for milk, make a clucking sound with our mouths, or when we clap our hands. He still hasn't figured out how to stick his tongue out and gets very frustrated when we do it and he can't. 2) Has learned that when he drops a toy we pick it up and has a ton of fun sending us scrambling 3) Babbles da da and ba ba and sometimes throws in a ah-goo 4) is finding a lot of things funny these days 5) still very very far from crawling!! 6) no teeth yet 7) has finally learned not to stick toys all the way down his throat and thus has greatly reduced the amount of meals he "returns". I'm not sure why I numbered these. Kinda looks ridiculous. Oh well. I'm posting it anyway. 
Oh, and sadly we are officially done breastfeeding. After consulting with the pediatrician and lactation consultant it became evident Vin just didn't want to nurse any longer. He's always preferred the bottle, but up until now I've been able to entice him to nurse. Because of the constant battle it never was the positive emotional experience I thought it would be, but I am still disappointed to let it go. I wasn't ready but Vin was.
