TODAY I AM...

7. months. old.

I can't even take it.

Where does time go? I still can't get over how much L changes from week to week. And let me tell you- my sweet little angel is a livewire. And we are loving every minute of it. Here are some of his recent antics:

• Still army crawling/scooting. He will get on his hands and knees and rock- so I think the real thing is coming soon.

• He is practicing consonant sounds like "ya-ya" "bah" and "deh" and "gaaah." He mainly yells them when he is mad. He also says "heh" which sounds like he is saying "hey." Jeremy is convinced he is saying "hey."

• He also does this very weird "shriek" when he is excited. Sounds similar to a seagull that is off his rocker. He did this a few times when Kelly, his babysitter, took him to storytime at the library. She said everyone turned around and was giggling at him. Funny kid.

• sitting up- although he prefers to be on his tummy.

• bouncing like a madman when you hold him on your lap

• His favorite toys? The remote, cell phone, earrings, laptop, and any other item he is not supposed to have.

• He has been napping very well lately. I think he has realized that his parents are, in fact, pretty boring and he may as well sleep. 

• Being spoiled. When he wants to be picked up he will lay on his tummy and flap his arms and legs up and down and whine like a little girl. He will be perfectly fine until he sees one of us leave the room- then he does this.

• He is starting to pull himself up in the crib. He also pulls the bumper down to see if anyone is in the room- and if we are he grins like a bobcat.

• He is so happy and enamored with everything. He smiles at everybody, toys, and sometimes the air. His little sideways grin melts me to pieces. Precious, precious, precious.
