7 Months Old

My little monkey

7 months old and loving the beach on Lake Superior

  I cannot believe how time has flown by.  I could not imagine what he would look like or how big he would be at this age.  He is 29 inches long and 22.5 pounds.  He is the light of my life. His personality is constantly changing.  Instead of crying for things now, he first yells at me with his deep voice.  Disconcerting as he is so big and demanding.  He is eating 2 good size meals and only takes 2 naps a day now.  He sleeps through the night and is loving every minute of it.  No more waking up!  He loves outside and demands to go outside daily.  He knows the word and if you say outside, and do not take him, he throws a protest.  He is a sponge and quick at paying attention.  Watch what you say and do, he will catch on quickly.  So happy.

  He is wearing a 24 month Carter's outfit in these pictures.  He has outgrown all other brands of this size besides Children's Place.  He has short legs for 2 T pants, but the seat fits well usually.  I cannot wait for his birthday.  Clothes, books and big boy toys!  He is dying for a sturdy big plastic truck, a remote control car or truck with big tires and a pair of big boy shoes as soon as we know what size he will be wearing then.  His foot is thicker, but not as long so shoes fit him funny right now.  He will be running before I know it!  Too big for the crib, we had to move a twin bed into the nursery.  Now we need a frame and a way to secure him in the bed when he can walk.  Should be interesting.  Good thing his daddy is a handy and creative guy.

  Go to a movie or the Continental Fire Company for our anniversary?  Hmmm...
