7 months

Our little guy turned 7 months old in January. I'm not sure what the exact date would be, but we are getting close to having this guy with us for half of his life. That is crazy.

He can sit up on his own (most of the time). When he falls over he just keeps on playing and is still happy. He can hold his own bottle (YEA!!). He is getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. It is only a matter of time until he starts crawling. He rolls all over the living room. Yesterday he rolled over to the tv and grabbed the tv cord. Davin told him "no, no". He looked at us like he couldn't not understand why we would say such a thing to his cute little self. Before Davin could get to him he unplugged the tv. I can tell life if about to get interesting!

He is really attached to me. If I am out and about in the evenings and he falls asleep before I get home he will wake up a couple hours later and get so upset. The only thing he wants and the only thing that makes him happy is snuggling with me. Davin has started not even putting him in his bed even if he falls asleep before I get home because it is just best for me to wake him up a little bit and love on him so he doesn't wake up scared and upset.

I think he is having nightmares again. He had a couple when we first got him but they mostly consisted of a stressed out face in his sleep with a little whimpering, now he wakes up screaming and crying with a volume of voice I never knew he had. I hate that for him. I just snuggle him and love on him until he calms down. How horrible to have nightmares at 7 months old.

People can not believe how happy he is though. He is probably the happiest baby I can ever remember meeting. This weekend at Alea's volleyball game Davin was holding him and sitting behind me on the bleachers. Whenever I would turn around it was like he forgot that the person in front of him was me and he would laugh and smile and reach for me. The rest of the parents on our team kept getting distracted by his sweet personality. I think it is pretty obvious, but I'll just go ahead and put it in writing...I am madly in love with this guy. Yep, that is going to hurt later!
