happy happy seven months!

Where has the time gone? Our precious boy is 7 months old today. That seems so much older than 6 months.

His monkey shoes are almost too small.

I asked Silas what he would like to say to commemorate his seven month mark.

He said,

"Put me to bed, Mom." Just not in so many words.

Silas, at 7 months you are:

• Rolling over from back to front. In fact you won't stay on your back. You roll to your tummy and babble and drool up a storm.


• Blowing raspberries...this happened today and you were proud.


• Laughing your head off. When you are on your tummy and I say, "da da da da da", you think it's really hilarious and you laugh and laugh. Usually we sit on the couch after your afternoon nap and bottle and just laugh with each other.


• Putting everything in your mouth. Where are those teeth?


• Eating lots of yummy things like green beans, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples/peaches and oatmeal. For a minute there we were afraid you would turn into a carrot.


• Sleeping so much better. You usually wake yourself up about an hour into your nap, but a quick pacifier re-insert and you're back to dream land. Most nights you sleep through the night and Mommy and Daddy really appreciate it.


• Taking your pacifier out of your mouth and putting it back in.


• Too cute for words.


• About to live on a third continent in your first seven months.


• A source of joy and delight!

We love you, sweet boy!
