7 Months Old

 Baby Boy you are seven months old! 


Just some fun things about you-


You have started to eat "puffs". Thats at least what we call them. They are all different flavors and practically dissolve in your mouth. But you insist on chewing them. You look like Popeye when you do and I laugh every time. Speaking of laughing, you have figured out that you can blow raspberries with your mouth when you are eating and make your food go everywhere. This makes Mama laugh which in turn makes you laugh. Like really laugh. So I laugh some more and so do you. We are exhausted when your bowl of food is empty. And we are covered in your food. 


Mean Mug baby



You are wearing size 2 diapers but I think you will finish out this last pack and then we will switch you to size 3. You weigh 18 pounds and I know that because you have had 2 ear infections and bronchitis. So we have been to the doctor twice this month. You are wearing size 6-9 month clothes and size 3 shoes. 





You love to sit on the floor and play with your toys but lately you want to pull up on Mama or Daddy and stand. You like standing a lot better than anything else. You have also taken some steps. Not by yourself but they were purposeful and got you where you wanted to go. I have said from the beginning that you would skip crawling and go straight to walking, and I think I might be right!


You have started to reach for people that you want to go to. And you reach for your daddy a lot! You love him (sometimes I think you love him more than you love me-and we just can't have that!) You can also put your binky in your mouth by yourself. If you run across it in your bed, carseat, or play area you pop it in your mouth and go on with your business. When did you get so big and independent?!


You made your first trip to the beach this month and you had a blast. You were scared of the water at first but when you warmed up to it-you loved it! I hope you are a beach bum in the making like your Mama.



Bugga Boo-
This month has been my favorite yet. You are becoming more like a little man every day. You make decisions for yourself. Not the hard kind-just whether to spit your binky out or blow your food on me. And you shine with a smile when you make your decision whether I approve or not. You have eyes that light up a room and when people see you thats the first thing they say. And then you smile that smile to get them to keep dishing out the compliments. And I giggle to try to be humble about how darling my boy is but inside I am thinking, "Oh yea-my babe is the cutest on the block!" I am on summer break and baby that means that we get to spend lots of you and me time! Daddy is going out of the country soon so we will have lots of one-on-one time. I can't wait! As always, I am praying for your heart daily. That you may come to know Jesus and use those eyes to look deep into the heart of someone who needs you and share the gospel with them. You have a purpose baby boy. I know it with every fiber of my being.

All my love,
Mama
