7 Months

Eli,

Well, here we are - 7 months. It's hard to believe that this time last year, we still hadn't had the ultrasound yet.

too cool


Buddy, SO much happened over the past month. For starters, your Aunt Stacia came to visit you over Easter - and you loved all of the attention. You got your first Easter basket, too. A couple of toys and a few teethers - Even your first set of Legos! (which you can't play with until after you're 3, but Daddy had to get them anyway)

this is my aunt stacia


You've started enjoying your baths more and more. You love to splash in the water, and you smile and talk the whole time you are in there. You even cry now when we take you out, because Darnit, You weren't done playing!

see my tooth??


You've got two teeth now. You started cutting your first tooth the day after Aunt Stacia left. It only took a couple of days to pop through, and two weeks later your second tooth made its appearance! You handled the whole thing much better than Mommy could have expected.



You've mastered sitting up. You can even sit up by yourself from your tummy if you try hard enough. You're officially crawling now too, you started that just a couple of days ago. You've been scooting along for a while, but now you're picking up your hands and knees and you are on the go! Daddy and I have got to finish babyproofing now, because you are one curious little man.

Buster, I am truly amazed at all that you do, and how fast you are learning. We are so lucky to have you in our lives! We love you so much, little man.

beautiful boy


Love,
Mommy

Wow! He is growing so fast.
What a cutie he is and I know how much fun you are having with him as he grows and learns everyday.
Hope to see all of you soon.
