Happy 7 Months, Little Love

Filed Under Milestones, Seven Months | 7 Comments

You are amazing. I look at you, and I am just overwhelmed by how much I love you. You are beautiful. You take my breath away. I can’t stop kissing your face, rubbing my cheek against your soft fuzzy hair, and touching your soft little hands. You are growing so fast, I wish I could just freeze time… except every day and every stage is better than the one before.

You are already seven whole months old. You sit up on your own now (you’ve been doing that for a while though). Your new thing is crawling. I think it is safe to say you are officially “a crawler.” If you see something you want, you go for it, even if it’s five feet away. You are still a little slow, and sometimes your feet and hands don’t cooperate, but it won’t be long until you are just racing through the house! I wish you would stay still for longer and let me just snuggle with you. My favorite time of day is in the evening after you nurse and you snuggle up all sleepy on my shoulder. Sometimes I hold you for so long that Daddy comes in and tells me to put you in bed.

You are starting to do the famed pincer grasp with your thumb and first finger. You are pretty early with that one! You can pick up Puffs off a tray now and get them into your mouth, usually You have tried Cheerios and seemed to think they were okay. You love most kinds of baby food, but you hate anything involving peaches, squash, or peas. You still sit in your Bumbo seat for most meals. When we go to restaurants, you sit in a highchair now. We have a cover that we use in there and in shopping carts so you don’t get the icky germs. You got your second flu shot this week, and you weighed about 17 pounds. You are wearing 6-9 month clothes.

Today I watched Alison, and of course brought you with me. You loved to watch her and you laughed so much today. She really enjoyed trying to entertain you and help take care of you. I will be watching her a few Fridays a month now, and I hope that will be good for you. I am afraid I will spoil you with so much love and attention all the time.

You babble quite a bit now. You like to open and close your mouth while saying “Nya nya nya nya” and you still blow lots of raspberries too. Today you were so covered in drool. If I blow on your neck or tickle your ribs, you laugh. You also like being upside down now. Every day is an adventure, and I can’t wait to see what you will do next. I didn’t know you would be this perfect.

I love you.

Love, Mommy
