7 Months Old

I can't believe I just wrote the title of this post...7 months old?!?!  It seems like it's going faster and faster.  Sometimes I look at Nate and am amazed at how he's starting to look like a little boy already!  Stop growing up right this minute!

Clearly the monthly photo shoot is getting more tricky as he gets older.  We now have to try and take the photos as fast as we can before the month sticker becomes a chew toy.  

Here are some fun things happening at 7 months:

*Nathan is one of the smiley-est babies we've ever seen (granted we're a little biased).  Every time we come home, walk into the room, look at him from afar, etc. he smiles at us.  It's one of the things we love most about him and it's so infectious.  If you've had a horrible day, all you have to do is spend some time with Nate and he'll make you feel so appreciated and happy.

*His first teeth are coming in!  Both the bottom front teeth are coming in at the same time.  He's been a little fussy, but it hasn't been too bad so far.  

*Mommy and Nate like to play "catch" with the ball.  I count to 3 and roll the ball to him and then clap.  He laughs and then grabs the ball and "rolls" it back to me as best he can

*The solid food process is steadily moving along.  So far the favorites have been bananas, carrots, and avocado.  Cheerios and puffs are more of a game so far.  The jury is still out on sweet potatoes.  We may try those again now that he's getting the hang of eating.

*Loves baths...but hates the drying off part and being cold

*Making more pronounced sounds like "da da" and "ba ba."  James likes to claim that he's already saying "Da Da" but I beg to differ.  :)

Happy 7 months Nate!  We love you more every day!
