Baby Calendar - The First Year
Month 7
Month 7
By the seventh month, your baby is showing more signs of being an independent little person. Many babies can sit well and some are even starting to crawl. But many babies will not creep or crawl for a few months yet. Some babies are able to pull themselves up to a standing position and cruise around the furniture, while others are content to wait a few more months before testing out these skills.
Other things your baby may be doing now include: Protesting if you take a toy or other object away Work to get a toy that is out of reach Pass objects from one hand to the other Play Peek-a-boo Babble and say 'ma-ma' or 'da-da' Look for an object that has been dropped
No matter how carefully you babyproof your home, your baby is bound to bonk his head, elbows or knees at some point. Lots of TLC from Mom or Dad is usually all that is needed to 'fix the boo boo'. If you haven't already done it, you should babyproof your home before your little one gets more mobile!
Many babies are ready to make the switch from strained foods to things with coarser textures. Suitable foods include mashed small curd cottage cheese (although some health care practitioners recommend no dairy products until after the 8th month), oven dried toast, mashed cooked fruits and vegetables. This is also the time when clear fruit juices (many mom's mix the juice with equal amounts of water) may be added to your baby's diet.

Pregnancy Weight Gain Recommendations
Pregnant women often feel liberated by the idea that this is the one time in life when they can eat, really eat, for a purpose.
