Seven Months Old

Jax,
We now call you our sleeping baby and it is a beautiful thing.  Sleeping is by far your biggest accomplishment this month.  You are such a big boy now that goes to bed on his own.  We still watch you on your monitor and love watching as you snuggle down to the corner of your crib and go to sleep.  You are so peaceful to watch.  When you  awake, I go into your room to be greeted by the biggest of grins on your face and you are ready to play.

You are lots of fun to play with and we fill most of our days with peek a boo, songs and lots and lots of climbing!  You try to climb up us all the time and are really adventurous. You seem to test the boundaries of what you are physically able to do and that sometimes results in a face-plant into the play mat below.  Right now, as you aren't very mobile yet, I am able to catch you most of the time.  I can't imagine what you will be doing once you are able to be on the go.  Your father already is saying "safety first son, safety first" daily and I think he will have the hardest time coping with your daredevil personality.

You are still babbling constantly and we always wonder what is going on in that little head of yours.  This week you have started to enjoy story time.  Until now books have been more like teethers for you.  This week, however, as we were preparing for bed you laid your head on mom's chest as she read the story of Little Hoot to you.  It was one of the sweetest moments and we look forward to many story times to come. 

This month we will be preparing for Christmas.  We have been asked what we want for Christmas this year and we haven't had an answer.  This is because you have brought us more joy than we could have imagined and you are the best present we have ever been given.  What more could we need this year?

Much Love, Mommy and Daddy


See that little tooth!


It wouldn't be complete without a "serious baby" pose!
