7 Months

7 months. Wow, I can’t believe it. You were just 6 months 4 weeks ago and now 7 months? Hmm. I don’t know if I like that very much. Why won’t you just stay little?

In month 6 you perfected sitting. You sit so well, you hardly ever fall over. And when you do, you mosey over to the toy you fell on like you meant to do that.

In month 6 you perfected the tummy spin. This involves you on your tummy and using your hands and knees to spin in a circle. I had you up on the bed yesterday and you did like 2 full circles all while babbling on about not wanting to take a nap. You are ridiculous. Ridiculously cute.

In month 6 you spoke a sound. “Ba ba ba” That’s all. And I cried and thought it was the most wonderful “ba” I had ever heard. And then I started whispering “ma ma ma” to you and I do it everyday A LOT. But you just smile and think about saying it and don’t. I think you already know how but are teasing me and waiting for the perfect moment.

In month 6 your legs grew longer, your cheeks grew fatter and that 2^nd tooth finally came in.

You lay in my arms at night, snuggle in for bed and I feel how heavy you are. I think about all the times I held you when you were a brand new baby and how you felt on my shoulder, next to my cheek so tiny. I kiss your face, whisper a prayer in your ear and wish you sweet dreams before I lay you down.

Now it’s month 7! And month 7 is going to bring us even more insight into your personality. Yesterday you got up on your knees a bit. I see it happening. You are about to take off! If you can just push your chest up with your hands you will be on your way to crawling. Each month, the exact day you turn a new month, you do something new. First tooth at 5 months. Sitting at 6 months. And now on your knees at 7 months. I can’t wait till month 8!

We celebrated your 6 months by getting your picture taken. Elizabeth, you won’t believe me but you are absolutely breath taking. You had me and Daddy singing and dancing and clapping and ball bouncing to get you to smile and laugh and you went right along with it. You were a perfect angel, bare butted and such a doll in tutus, pearls, ruffle pants, and flower hats. I saw the pictures and I cried. I see you getting bigger and more beautiful every day. It hurts my heart, but in a good way.
