Today you turn seven months old. And today totally snuck up on me!! This month has gone by super fast ( thanks to Feb being so short!) but you managed to pack a lot into it nonetheless.
You had your first fever ( due to your 6 month shots, boo!) , ate your first cheerio by yourself ( though you still prefer me to put them into your mouth for you), had your first busted lip ( during a particularly daring lunge forward to get a toy), your first ride in the shopping cart ( we cannot get through a grocery store trip without someone stopping to talk to you), your first real bath in the "big" bathtub ( you like this MUCH better than the little baby bathtub), you've discovered that your voice can reach all different ranges of pitch and you've been testing them ALL out ( especially the highest note possible-some that can only be heard by dogs), you also have learned how to growl and not really a "cutesy" growl either. A very manly loud growl. And all in all you've become an even cuter and more fun little boy.
Your current favorite game is when we stand far away from you and then run up to you and tickle you. After one round you start to anticipate what will happen next and start cracking up even before we start our run towards you...
Of course you also love peekaboo and anything that involves us tickling your neck and ears and of course the mirror...gotta love that mirror!
This month you also grew another tooth-a VAMPIRE TOOTH! And are in the process of growing the other vampire tooth ( as I so eloquently call it) and while I was seriously concerned that you were never going to get your middle teeth...I think those are starting to poke out a bit now too...which means you are OFFICIALLY advanced when it comes to teeth making. This is one area in which I am NOT excited about you being advanced in...you have never really gotten over teething and always have at least one sleepless night and one grumpy attached to each new tooth.
This month you dropped your third nap, and I don't think I've fully recovered. I don't think EITHER of us have fully recovered!! You definitely have more grumpy times in the evening, but whenever we take you outside and let you play in your exersaucer in the back yard you seem to last a little longer in "happy times". You also like to look at other babies and are very sweet with other children. They can pretty much take all toys from you and you will just sit and stare wide-eyed at them. I doubt this ability to share will last forever, but its cute while it lasts!
Love you with all my heart,
Mommy
