Ruben is 7 months old now. Where did all that time go?
Rubes is sitting and talking and eating and being very clever, but showing virtually no inclination towards mobility, which we are all very happy about. No rush. The house isn’t baby proofed yet!
He’s just cut his fourth tooth (two on the top and two on the bottom). This last tooth has been giving him a bit of trouble and he’s not been sleeping so well lately. It makes everyone want afternoon naps, but Ruben is the only one who is lucky enough to get them these days.
We went to the Baby Clinic this week for a weigh in and he’s now 9.5kgs or about 20lbs, and around the 75th centile. So despite the fact that everyone tells us he’s such a big boy (and he’s fitting into clothes that are supposedly designed to fit a 12 month old baby), 25% of babies are bigger than him.
Things we’ve been doing recently include going to Story Time at the Horniman Museum, and a trip into town to participate in a research project which involved Ruben getting a hairnet made of electrodes on his head and looking at pictures of faces on a television to measure his emotional reaction to different facial expressions. Very interesting!
