7 months

Last week Theo turned 7 months old.  7 months since I became a mama. More than half a year.  How can it be?

Sometimes it feels like he's always been here, and then there are times in which I feel like we were just at the hospital welcoming him into the world.  It's funny how time moves - especially when you become a parent - it seems to move at the speed of a lightening bolt. In all other times in my life I have always felt that time has moved so slow.  When I was engaged it felt like eons before our wedding day came.  When I was pregnant it was as if the baby was never going to come.  But he did come and he is more than we ever could have imagined.  He has grown so much in the past seven months - from being our small precious newborn to being a busy, pulling up on everything baby boy.  Since we brought our baby Theo home we have had our fair share of ups and downs.  Joys and challenges.  Times when John and I have stared at each other wondering "what did we get ourselves into?!" But, it's worth it.  Each and every bit of it.  I can't imagine life without this little guy and I feel so lucky that he's ours.

So here's our boy at 7 months.  Some big things...

Eating solid foods - sweet potatoes and squash seem to be a favorite 

Sitting up on his own and wanting to pull up on everything

Giggling at the dog (he's just so funny!)

Smiling at anyone and everyone

Loves music - This in particular  will instantly change his mood when he's upset

Sleeping 8-9 hours through the night (for now....)

Two baby bottom teeth - so cute now - not so cute when they were coming in... teething is no joke

To see how our little guy has grown, here is a peek into the previous 6 months...
