7 months and counting!!

Tomorrow marks your 7 month birthday!  That means you are closer to 1!!  It's crazy how time has flown and how much you have changed in the past month.  Here's a month in review:

You have gotten a lot of hair and it sticks straight up.  We try to comb it down after your bath but it's so fly-away that it only wants to stand up!  It's the cutest thing though.  :)  Mrs. Bertha likes to call you fuzz!

You have started to eat food 3 times a day.  For breakfast you'll eat some oatmeal with bananas.  At lunch we'll give you a fruit or veggie and at dinner you'll eat a fruit and veggie.  You love everything we have given you!  I think your favorite is sweet potatoes.  :)  But in all honesty you still love milk the best.  I'm still nursing you and that has been the greatest thing I have ever done! 

We're still working on your sleep routine.  You're not sleeping through the night quite yet but I know you'll get there when you're ready.  I think you just like to have Mommy comfort you through the night.  While it's really tough not getting a good night's sleep, spending that quiet time at night with you is so special.  The past few nights we have been putting you down earlier, like around 7:00.  You've done really well with it.  During the day you take 2 naps, about an hour and half nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.  When you wake up from your naps you are so happy!  We are fortunate to have such a good baby. 

You are almost sitting up all by yourself!  The other day I had a ball propped between your legs and you did really well sitting up holding on to that ball.  It won't be long though!  You have started the army crawl, which means you aren't far from crawling!!  You get those cute little legs under you and use your arms to pull yourself forward.  You are really strong and still have a tough grip on everything!  You are also very observant and like your little exersaucer.  It has lots of things for you to play with and you have begun to jump like a wild man in that thing.  :)

Sometimes the Beach Boys calm you down and put you to sleep.  Tonight you have been fighting sleep a little and Daddy started playing some Beach Boys and it calmed you right down.  We are so thankful for the Beach Boys.  :)  

You are wearing 9 and 12 month clothing- you are a big boy!!  :)  In size 3 diapers but looks like you might need size 4 soon.  I would guess you are around 20 pounds, if not more, and you have the most adorable legs I have ever seen!  Your skin is so soft and I love to feel it!  Everything about you is beautiful and I couldn't have imagined you being any more beautiful.  God truly has blessed us with a wonderful child!

You have the most precious smile!  You are turning into a very handsome little boy!  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!  We love you more than we have ever loved anything. 

Can't have a post without pictures!!  I also took a video of your army crawl.  Tomorrow we will try to get your 7 month pictures!!

Can you see the hair?  :)






I love that little face!!
