SEVEN

Will's seven month birthday came and went without even being recognized on the blog. I guess this goes to show you how incredibly insane this past week was leaving me exhausted! The start of school and all that comes with it left me with such little spare time that I chose to spend it with Will and then sleep rather than blog. But I am back. I have had 2 naps today-I am on Will's schedule :) - and I feel much better!

Will was 7 months on Thursday...

He changes every day and is so much fun to play with. He sits up like a champ now and has learned how to balance himself if he starts to fall over. Bathtime is so much easier too now that he can sit up. Each morning when I go in to get him up as soon as he hears the door open, his head pops up and a huge grin spreads across his face. He is definitely a morning person! We still haven't found anything he won't eat...other than peas...he still shudders. He has learned to fake cough. If you cough at him, he coughs right back. He can sort of wave bye-bye. He holds his hand up more like a high five and usually the other hand is the one he opens and closes his fingers with. It is hysterical. Each hand does a little bit of the work. He still takes a morning and afternoon nap and is sleeping from 7:30-7. We are so spoiled! He loves being in his exersaucer or jumperoo. He favors his right foot. He jumps primarily on his right foot and his left foot just kind of hits the ground each time. He has 2 teeth right next to each other on the bottom in the middle. He smiles all the time and you can see those cute little teeth! Bentley is still hilarious to Will and he smiles and belly laughs every time he is around. He loves to be read to-his favorite books are The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss, Any of the Froggy books, and The Napping House. The reason these are his favorites is because John does an awesome job with noises and different voices. This has become our bedtime routine-bath, books, bottle, then bed! His favorite toy is a plastic bag. We do not give him these, but when he gets his hands on them he thinks they are the greatest things ever. Then we take them away and he throws such a fit! We are probably in for it down the road with tantrums. This is all we can think of about our sweet little boy! He has blessed us more than we ever imagined! It seems he has been a part of our family far longer than seven months.
