7 Months- June 9, 2014
Dear Henry,
You hear the term “bouncing baby boy” so often it has become a cliche. You’ll learn as you read your mother’s writing she avoids cliches like the plague until she gets bent out of shape and has an axe to grind and only a good cliche will do. You are our bouncing baby boy. Through and through.
You turned 7 months-old on Friday. To continue the cliches, you are on the move! In just the last two weeks you have started crawling and crawling fast! We have to watch you all the time. You are now sitting up on your own and it is absolutely adorable. Daddy, Charlotte and I can’t get enough of making you giggle. Your new thing is kitchen utensils. You are obsessed with whatever wisk or rubber spatula I let you hold as you crawl across the kitchen. Maybe you will be a chef! Charlotte loves getting in “baby jail” with you to play. That is what we call the Pack ‘N Play. Lately you want to watch the dog all the time. You chased Ginger’s tale yesterday while crawling. It was adorable. This video of you crawling cracks me up. I love your little tushy. Sorry, son. It’s true.
We introduced solids this month. You have been eating rice cereal and jars of baby food in multiple flavors. You are particularly fond of peas. We laugh at the faces you make when you try something new for the first time. You have already splattered the wall with pureed vegetables by flinging your arms and grabbing the spoon.
Henry, you are the sweetest when you fall asleep with Daddy or me. I try to soak up all the afternoons of you napping with me. I smell your baby smell and kiss your head. Daddy and I were just saying how it feels like you’ve always been part of our family, not just for 7 months. You make life worth living. I could go on and on with the cliches. I love you, my sweet, sweet boy.
Love,
Mama

I could eat him up!! He’s adorable. How is time going by so fast?
Thanks! Tell me about it!
He is just too cute. I really need to meet these kids of yours one of these days. If only to squeeze them. 😉
Thanks! Any time! 😉 They love snuggles!
