7 months

Benjamin,

Sweet boy, you are seven months old now. You are growing up so much it is crazy how quickly you are learning and changing. Every day is a new day and you are always surprising us with your new tricks.

Over the last month you have been working so hard on learning how to crawl and just in the last few days you have got it completely figured out! Now our job has really started with keeping you out of trouble! But it is so fun to watch you move around and explore.

You have been sleeping great lately! You are taking 2 to 3 naps a day, usually about 4 hours total. And then sleeping at night from 7:30pm to 6:30-7:00am. I don't have to worry about you at night anymore. You very rarely wake up. That is such a huge blessing!!

We just lowered your mattress in your bed so if you sit up you don't go tumbling out. We have seen you do it once and know that within the next few days you will probably have it totally figured out.

You are still a great eater with 4 bottles a day and 3 meals of fruits and veggies. You are also now feeding yourself some finger foods. You really like the Gerber puffs and Mum Mums to snack on.

You have started clapping your little hands it is so cute. You are also really experimenting with talking and figuring out how loud you can be. It is pretty funny.


We left you for the first time a couple of weeks ago while we took a little vacation. You stayed at home and your Mummu came to stay with you then your Nana and Grandpa came the last few nights. You were so good while we were gone!! We were so so proud of you. Coming home to see you was the sweetest part of the trip!

You were baptized last weekend! It was very special and you looked absolutely adorable! You were decked out in a little khaki suit and bow tie. Oh I just wanted to eat you up. The whole family was there to celebrate. You are such a joy to everyone and I hope you know just how much you are loved!

Love you always and forever,

Mommy and Daddy
