You are seven months old!! Where is the time going. I promise you change everyday and it seems like you learn twice as fast as you grow these days! This month we took you on another long trip to Boone, North Carolina and you were definitely more aware than you were last month of how long you were in your car seat.
Here we are in Boone before Katie and Corey's Wedding. It was outside and it was beautiful.
Also this month, after we returned from our trip we decided to have your pictures made again by Mrs. Stephanie. She took your pictures when you were 7 weeks old and I was so excited when I found out she was offering some mini sessions and I could get them done at 7 months. She is so wonderful and you looked beautiful. Before we stopped to get your pictures made we got to have fun with Aunt Kristin, Uncle Clayton, and Micah!! It was so much fun. Micah loved playing with your toys at dinner and when he dropped one on the floor was very upset until his mommy would let him down to get it back for you. When the daddies were paying, we sat ya'll on a couch they had in front of the restroom and snapped this cute picture.
Even though you can't see y'all's faces very well because of the sun, it was too cute not to post. Y'all are holding hands. Now remember, this is your future husband. And apparently it is going to take less coaxing then I originally thought. We love Micah and his mommy and daddy. We only wish we lived closer so we could see them more often.
Once we were finished with dinner they showed us where to go to get your pictures made. The set up was so cute and you did a great job. Even though you were sleepy and we had to wake you up to change you and start your photo session you just smiled and were so happy! Here are two sneak previews she sent us. I can't wait to see the whole CD.
You are trying really hard to pull up as well as crawl. Next month you will start school and I have a feeling these two things will be accomplished quickly once you see your friends doing it. Mommy is trying to spend as much time with you as possible these days because I know I am not going to be excited to leave you every day.
We have spent a lot of time swimming lately. You LOVE to swim. We will hold your belly and you just kick and throw your arms. You are not afraid and you love the water. You have no problem with it being in your face or us splashing you. You are so much fun and just play!! Here is a picture of you and your daddy at Aunt Reagan's pool (which is beautiful).
Well, I told you in last months post I was afraid I would have to tell you you weren't sleeping with us or in the same room with us anymore. This is partially true. When we got back from North Carolina we decided it was time for you to try out your crib at night. We also felt that you might sleep better having your own space. This is somewhat true. Honestly, starting you in your crib is pretty easy. We give you a bottle, rock you a little, and lay you down. We use our wonderful video monitor to watch you throughout the night. However, around 2 o'clock you start that kicking business and rubbing your paci against your crib so it makes a loud noise over the monitor. Typically I just come get you because I know at this point you are awake and I want you to go back to sleep and not think that it is time to get up. So we have been partially successful! I am counting it as a success. I think at this point you have made it until 6 o'clock one time. But that's ok. I do enjoy cuddling with you in the bed and do sleep better I think with you next to me. I know it is time for you to start growing up though and this is just part of the process.
Here are few other things about you this month...
* I am not sure what you weigh or your height but you are definitely growing.
* You wear a size three diaper.
* You wear 6-9 month size clothes.
* You wear a size 1 shoe.
* You are still eating 6 oz bottles 3-4 times a day depending on how much food we give you throughout the day.
* You drink 4 oz. of apple juice or pear juice which you really like.
* You love a bath.
* You love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and are starting to like Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
* You love to stroll.
* You like to sit in the floor and play with your toys better than being in your exersaucer now.
* You do not crawl.
* You are still drooling and chewing, but no teeth.
* We started giving you yogurt, which you love.
* You are VERY talkative.
* You love to have us sing to you.
* You take naps in your crib at least 2 times a day. Most of the time we are able to lay you down awake and you will put yourself to sleep.
* You love our phones and the remote and get very upset if we take them away from you.
* You are starting to have a temper when you don't get what you want. For example, there is a picture behind your head when you lay down to get your diaper changed. You will roll over and try to get the picture and I will tell you No. The first several times you will laugh and continue to do it. But the more I tell you No the madder you become. Eventually this results in a lot of tears.
* You are not still anymore! You roll over when we change your diaper and you squirm out of our laps.
* You are definitely a Mommy's girl! But you do love to play with your Daddy.
This time at home has been super sweet with you and I have truly cherished every moment I have spent with you. Next month when I write you will have started school and Mommy will have gone back to work. Our time may be more limited now, but I love you more than ever and each day I love you a little more than before.
Love,
Mommy
