7 months old!

You're 7 months old today - it's hard to believe.  Your dad and I talked about the fact that you are closer to being 1 year old than to being born.  Yikes!

1. This month you spent your first weekend away from Dad and I.  You visited Grandma Jean and Grandpa Charlie for the weekend following Mom and Dad's anniversary.  From what we understand, you had a BLAST!!  We of course missed you all weekend and were very excited to see you on Sunday afternoon.  This year as Dad and I celebrated our anniversary realizing the dream we always had - you!  You have made our house and family complete, we are so happy you are in our family little man!

2. Your helmet is doing the trick and your diagonal differences are only 3 mm.  We are hoping that soon enough you will not need it anymore. 

3. You would rather be in a sitting position that doing anything else these days.  This could mean being in your exersaucer, bumbo, or with the assistance of the boppee.  Any way you sit - you enjoy reaching for your toys and seeing the world from a new perspective! 

4. On the same token as #3, you love to do the "changing table dance".  Before you get into the bath, Dad lets you stand on the changing table and you jump and dance around.  You love doing this so much, that we decided to buy you a jumperoo (we watch you on the camera at daycare jump in the jumperoo for hours - I hope you continue to like it). 

5. You love veggies, so much so that we do not have to mix them with cereal anymore (like we do the fruits).  Right now you're enjoying squash and sweet potatoes.

6. This past month marks the first time that you spiked a fever and concerned us enough to get you to the doctor to find out what was going on.  From what the doctor could see you had at least one ear infection (he was not sure about the other - too much ear wax).  You also had an upper respiratory infection.  You bounced back in less than 48 hours and seem to be doing a lot better with exception to that pesky cough.

7. Finally, you now have 5 teeth.  In the last month, both eye teeth have come through and one of your top front teeth.  It's so crazy to me to see all those teeth in your mouth.  You were a trooper while getting them and even after as those ear infections set in.

You're changing every day and we are loving every minute of spending time with you.  Love you little man!
