7 Months

Your first St. Patricks Day and 7 months old all in way day-whewie!

 

You are keeping us busy and not even fully crawling yet. I could just snuggle with you all day if you'd let me-but I'm not that lucky:)

• You are weighing in at 15 1/2 lbs
• You're a full fledged thumb-sucker. Have been for a while but will only chew on your paci even when we try to give one to you.
• You will rock back and forth on your hands and knees, but no full on crawling yet 
• You manage to scoot/army crawl which we still count. Especially if you see something you really want-you're determined to get there
• You're laughter is contagious-always has been, but recently we're able to witness the joy and smiles you bring to others; we are so proud and humble to be your parents
• Had to get your 6 month shots on Monday (a month late due to you being sick previously) and those little legs were bruised for a few days:(
• You've been sleeping good, the shots threw you off and sometimes you differ but we chalk it up to either growth spurts or just being a baby
• You're attempting to pull up on some things, more recently the ottomans. 
• You're constantly grabbing at your feet and/or socks and putting them into your mouth (along with anything else you can get your hands on)
• We joked when I was pregnant with you that you'd give us a run for our money because you were so active already-you bruised me even while in there for goodness sakes!-you are a great baby, but man when you are awake are you an active little booger.
• Constantly curious and exploring new things. Experiencing each day through your eyes is so refreshing and rewarding.
• You've tried some puffs snacks and green beans so far and you've liked both! It's so fun to be able to start introducing food and 'snacks'
• You start Monday with a full-time daycare. Yaya will still have you a few Fridays, but mostly you will be with Ms. Laura in Valley Center. I'm excited for you to have more stability but change is sometimes scary no matter what it may be.

We have been having a blast with you and cherish every moment we get to have with you.  You are a hilarious little boog and seeing you grow and change so much is so bittersweet. I soak up and love any cuddles I can get my hands on-we are so lucky and happy to be your parents, Caden.

We love you so much munchkin.
