It has been a while

I have been so busy growing up lately - I have forgotten to tell the world about it! I just turned 7 months old a few days ago. The day after I turned 7 months old I got my first tooth! It was bugging me for a while....I was chewing on anything and everything. Daddy bought me this big shark that I like to chew on. But my tooth is finally here. Mommy says I will start to get more grown up food soon. I sure wish it was coming faster - I want to eat all the colorful stuff mommy and daddy eat. I sit in my special chair every night and watch them eat the grown up food.

I have enjoyed my summer with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Nick. Aunt Sarah (and Uncle Nick when he isn't working) and I play every day while mommy and daddy go to work. Aunt Sarah takes me on long stroller rides (I have the tan legs to prove it!), to the pool, we hang out in her bedroom, we go to the store and I watch Aunt Sarah cook some yummy grown up food. I sure am going to miss Aunt Sarah and Uncle Nick when they leave in a week to go back to school (what is that?).

The next trick I want to master is the "crawl". Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Sarah are always putting me on my tummy and making me sit up on my knees. One of these days I will start to move more with my knees. I think I like standing more than trying to crawl.

I feel like such a grown up boy now...I graduated to the big bath tub! I got so big I didn't fit in my little tub - so now daddy gives me baths in the big tub. I LOVE IT! I get to splash around, play with my duck, pig, sheep and daddy is teaching me how to drink the tub water out of a cup! I look forward to my baths every night with daddy.

I also sleep lots during the night now. I go to bed about 8:30 or 9pmish and normally wake up around 7-8am. When my tooth was trying to come I woke up a few nights crying - it was hurting. Mommy came in and gave me some love and some medicine and rocked me back to sleep. There were a few nights daddy did it too.
