7 Months Old

The months continue to fly by!!!

Parker just continues to grow up right before or eyes (insert tear)!

He is such a handful these days and we are absolutely loving every minute of it!

Some things going on with our little man this month are...

-He started sitting up on his own a few weeks ago.  It is so fun to see him sitting up playing...its like he is a big boy!!  Until this past week we would have to sit him up and he would stay up and balanced.  Now he can sit himself up.  Out of the blue I look over and he had gone from back to bottom.  It is so cute to walk into his room in the morning and he is just sitting up waiting for us!

-He is pretty close to having this crawling thing down.  He goes little bit, fall, then thrust himself forward.  It is so funny to watch and although it is not a full crawl, it gets him around and FAST!

-He went swimming yesterday for the first time and seemed to love it.  He really enjoyed splashing around, but mostly just enjoyed laying back and relaxing and kicking his little legs around!

-Started Stage 2 baby food and he loves it.  Im not gonna lie, I have tried some of them and they are yummy!!!  He is still having two meals a day, fruit and cereal in the morning and fruit, veggie and cereal in the evening.

-It has become a little more of a fight to get him to finish his bottles now that he is eating meals.  He has gone from around 24oz per day to around 18.  Any suggestions?

-We started with the puffs a couple weeks ago.  At first he made the funniest face and was completely confused as to what they were.  Now he loves them.  When he sees me get them out he just sits there with his mouth open! 

-He has figured out how to scream and he loves doing it!  Its a cute squeely scream and I love it. 

-He laughs all the time and it is so contagious and the most beautiful sound ever.  He is such a happy baby!

Parker,
Happy 7 months sweet boy!  Where did the time go?  Your daddy and I love you very much!  You are such a blessing and such a happy little boy!  Your smile melts my heart and your laughter makes me complete!  Although we get sad that you are growing up so quickly, we love that each day brings something new and love watching you reach new milestones.  Just promise no matter how big you get, you will always need your Mommy!!

We love you!
