Wow, 7 Months!

I can hardly believe that my Michael Man is seven months old today! I look at the little guy sometimes and he doesn't even look much like a baby anymore. He so big and solid that it feels like you're holding a toddler when you give him hugs, kisses and squeezes. The Pear is great at sitting up now and will lunge forward onto his hands from a sitting position when he wants to grab something. He's still not a big fan of playing on his tummy, so I think this might be how he figures out how to crawl.

His strength amazes me sometimes. He's been able to stand up while holding onto to something for awhile now and can keep his balance while holding just one of my fingers. Someone joked yesterday that he's a future nose guard. The kid is solid - not really chubby, but big. I've pretty much retired the Bjorn because he kills my back now!

He's such a fun and happy baby a lot of the time. He gets so excited when Mike, Taylor or I walk into the room and he adores Champ. He's a good baby in so many ways **if** things are the way he likes them. Boy, does this child have a temper! If you force him to do something he doesn't want to do, like sit in the highchair or play in the floor while I use the bathroom, look out! He can scream like the best of them and it's usually a "mad" scream. He's strong willed, but I'm okay with that. I think it's a personality trait that will serve him well in the future. Like father, like son.

I love my little guy so much and I thank God for blessing us with him!


He looks so old here!

Standing like a big boy! Taylor sneaks into every picture of him.


A rare picture of just Michael.

Until next time,
