7 months old

Dear kayden-
The months just seem to keep going by faster and faster! You are already 7 months old and I feel like before I blink you are going to be 8 months! Your personality just keeps shining through and getting cuter and cuter everyday! You love playing on the floor with your toys an you have gotten really good at rolling over and sitting up all on your own. Mommy and daddy got you a jumperoo and you absolutely love it. You will sit and jump in there for quite a while before you get bored and want to do something else. You are quite a busy baby and get bored easily so we have to find a bunch of different things for you to play with so that you don't get bored.

You have also become quite mobile. You have started trying to get on your hands and knees but haven't figure out how to crawl yet, but you don't let that stop you. You will scoot and roll until you get to where you want to go. You also love to look around and see different things. When people are around you are constantly trying to see then and move about no matter how we are holding you. You also love to eat! You have now had sweet potatos, carrots, green beans, peas, avocado, apples, plums, prunes, and bananas. We will soon be adding pears, apricots, and squash! You,so far, have loved everything you have tried but somethings don't really agree with your stomach. We only give you greenbeans and peas every now and then because when you eat them, you get really fussy and don't sleep well that night. I hope that will change as you get older!

You still sleep with mommy and daddy, and we are ok with that. We both love waking up to you talking and playing with our faces so we have given up on forcing you to sleep in your crib right now. We do try and put you in there for a couple hour at the beginning of the night but you always wake up around 12 and end up in bed with us. We will just enjoy that time with you, because all too soon you won't want to sleep with us anymore.

This past month you also started having some friends stay with us during the week. Mac and jay come to play with you 3 days a week and you absolutely love them. You just laugh and stare at them and want them to be constantly paying attention to you. You want to play and run with them so bad that you will air and flap your arms in hopes of being able to move to get them. They are so good with you and will come and play peek-a-boo with you and give you toys to play with. I know you are really going to miss them when they stop coming in June!

I am loving every minute I get to spend with you! You are just growing an changing every day and I am so glad I get to be there to see everything! You have an amazing personality and everyone who sees you loves to come and talk to you. They all talk about how you are so happy and such a beautiful baby. Mommy agrees with them 100%. I couldn't have asked for a better baby and I am so thankful that God has given you to me.

Love you so much baby boy,
Mommy
