7 months Old

Mr. Wyatt Bear you are SEVEN months old today...holy smokes time flies!  You are know officially closer to being one year old then you are to the day you were born...speaking of, I still think about the day you were born (on a daily, if not more frequent, basis) and can't believe that your easy going attitude and smiling personality were present from the moment I went into labor and only had to wait two and a half hours to meet you!  You have been a happy baby since your first moment of life and for that, I have created a favorites list for your 7 month birthday!  Here are seven of your most favorite things!
1.  Your big brother- Your eyes light up every time he looks your way, tries to make you giggle, or wants to play peek-a-boo.  You also know when to shutter when he gets too wild and you know you're sitting right in his line of fire, oh brother!
2.  Your daddy- You can't get enough of this silly guy who loves to toss you in the air and give you big ticklely kisses when he gets home from work.  You've been known to wake up in the middle of the night and just hang for a bit to see your daddy when he's been gone for long days at work.
3.  Your mommy-  I am your mommy and my heart melts every time I see you smile and curl out your little tongue.  You are old enough now to recognize me and to look for comfort in my arms when you're sad or tired.  It also helps that you LOVE to nurse and I've cornered the market there.  You love to hang with me, whether we're playing with toys or just chilling on the floor, it makes you smile.
4.  Anything you can eat-  I wanted to say food, but then I realized you don't discriminate between a cardboard box or an apple slice, you can eat either one and you're happy no matter what as long as you can chew on it.  You want to eat ANYTHING you see people around you eating, but you still have no teeth so mommy is pretty strict with what you actually get fed.
5.  Your dogs-  You take after your brother on this one.  You love to watch the dogs wrestle and have already figured out that dangling your food over the side of your highchair is a GREAT way to make doggie friends.
6.  Bath time-  While some may be a little concerned that you don't bath everyday, you more than make up for it with the length of your twice a week baths- you are happy to stay in your bath until the water is cold, not tepid, cold.  You love your little bath tub and have discovered the joys of bath toys.  I love giving you baths at the kitchen sink, it saves my back, and you don't have to worry about staying afloat with brother bear.
7.  Life-  You love everything we do everyday.  You are excited when a stranger talks to you in Costco and you're super jazzed when I put a xylophone on the ground and you get to army crawl your way to it.  You love interacting with the people and world around you- your happiness is contagious and we're so lucky you're spreading it everywhere you go.

Happy Seven Month Birthday Mr. Wyatt Bear- in just five short months you'll be celebrating your first birthday...Mommy is not ready emotionally to accept her baby is growing in to a toddler, and not ready logistically to begin planning your big day!  Time to decide on a theme and get to work, STAT!
