{austin} at 7 months

sweet, sweet baby,

first off, i cannot believe that you are already seven months old. this month flew by! you are such an amazing little boy. you have mastered sitting up and you are actually really close to crawling. i think it's because your brothers move so fast- you feel the need to keep up. please don't. you have plenty of time for that. ;) some things that you've done this month: started eating baby food {fav. is bananas and you HATE peas- i have a funny picture to prove it!}, you roll over ALL THE TIME! {tummy to back & back to tummy}, you "scoot" to move around when you are on the floor, you started moving around in your walker and you love walks around the neighborhood in your stroller {although the weather keeps tricking us- warm one day and snow the next}. you are still such a good sleeper. you love your turtle night light that shines stars on your ceiling. you have the cutest {giggle}! we all love it and try so hard to get you to do it more. just this week, your brothers and i were on the couch with you and we had you laughing so hard. it was the cutest thing. i was making kissing noises at you and you thought it was hilarious! :)

you have no teeth yet, and no signs of any in the near future. that is one of the things i don't want to forget about this age- the {toothless, gummy grins}! AND open-mouth kisses from you. that, and your chubby little baby fingers. now that i'm thinking about it, your feet are quite chubby and cute, too! i can't resist kissing those feet after your bath, either. that also makes you giggle; you are extremely ticklish {you get this from daddy, you'll see}. i love that you let me sing to you and that you will sit still for a minute or two to let me read to you before bedtime. i know that is asking a lot out of an infant, so thank you {i also know it helps to show you the pictures}.

you also have this talent: you are crying one second and the next you are laughing. it is very musing.

happy 7 month birthday, austin! i love you, little bug.

p.s.- B is already trying to protect you from getting hurt. ;) they both love you SO much!
