7 Months
Happy
7 months!! Say what?!?! 7 months??
That means you’re closer to 1 than newborn. Closer to being a toddler than my little
baby. Noooooo! Just the thought makes me want to cry. So we’ll focus on the positives. Another very eventful
month filled with lots of firsts… First Cubs game (you loved it!), first time
meeting Da Bears head coach (you were asleep, but still counts), first time on an
airplane and first trip away from home, first time in a pool, first time
meeting your friend, Kellan, first time using a sippy cup (you haven’t mastered
it, but A for effort). You’re sitting up
really well with only an occasional tumble. You’ve tried lots of new foods and like nearly
everything. Exceptions include bananas
and avocado. You’re not quite used to
textures and prefer purees. We suspect
you’ll begin to crawl soon because you move and squirm all over the place when
we hold you. I suppose mom and dad
should start baby proofing. Yet another
amazing month in the books. We love
you!!
6 Months
Happy half birthday!! Wow, 6 months! Already!
The best 6 months of my life. I
think your dad would agree. This past
month, you began taking long naps in your crib (thank you Grandma W!), started
sitting unassisted (but often topple over), started noticing Addie (and laughed
hysterically at her), tried solid food (you LOVE pears), and you went to the
zoo (the penguins were your favorite). You still put EVERYTHING in your mouth…
including those cute toes! You’ve also
started visiting your grandmas at their houses every week and it sounds like
you have a blast.It’s also worth mentioning that mommy survived an important milestone… being away from you, in a completely different state, several hours away. Whew!
Hard to believe that just 6 months ago, we met you for the first time. You’ve grown so much since then – from a tiny newborn who wasn’t gaining weight fast enough to a strong little man who rolls, babbles (shrieks), laughs, grabs, and eats a ton!! We love you so much and are so happy/grateful to be your parents!! You are our everything!
5 Months
Happy 5 months!! I really wish you'd listen every time I tell
you to slow down! Before I know it,
you'll be heading off to college. This
was a really fun month! You laughed for
the first time, started rolling quite a bit, met your Great Uncle Bob, and
found your feet. You were also baptized.
It was so very special to have you
baptized in the same church mom was baptized in, surrounded by close family and
friends. You also had your first ear
infection (boo), but overcame it like a champ!
When we're out and about, people love to comment on your red hair (it
gets redder by the day!), how cute you are, and how happy you seem (most of the
time). We love you so much and look
forward to new adventures!
4 Months
Happy 4 months!! I say it every month, but you’re getting so
big! This month, you rolled over for the
first time (back to tummy), met your Great Grandma, explored your Exersaucer,
watched the Cubs with dad, started to put things in your mouth, and you’ve
developed a love for the Cookie Monster song.
Everyone who meets you instantly loves you – church friends, mall
shoppers, nursing home residents, people at the grocery store, etc. Who can blame them? We have so much fun introducing you to new
people and activities and we enjoy watching you learn and grow. We love you, little man!
3 Months
Happy 3 months!! We've had quite an eventful month!! You're quickly growing out of your cute little
clothes and turning into a little man! This month, you started consistently sleeping
8+ hours at night (thank you!), you figured out how to turn your entire body in
your crib, you repeatedly roll from side to back and vice versa, you met the
Easter bunny, and mom returned to work . You’re a very mellow guy for the most part and
only get angry when you’re hungry or overtired (who can blame you?!?). I love our "conversations" and the
way you “dance”. I can’t imagine life
without you. I'm so happy to be your
mom, little man.
2 Months
Happy 2 months!! We've really enjoyed getting to know you these
past 2 months. We love learning your
personality, your likes and dislikes.
You're such an amazing little guy and we already know you're going to
make us so proud. We love you, little
man!! The world is so much better with
you in it!
1 Month
Happy 1 month!! You’re such a sweet baby. You’re sleeping 6-7 hours every night. You’re gaining weight and your bilirubin
levels have stabilized, which means less doctor visits… yay!! We’re having so much fun getting to know
you. You’re the best thing that’s ever
happened to us and we love you so much!
