7 Months of Wonder

Your 7th month-day past us by because it was Christmas Eve and that was a little bit of a crazy day. You are now a rolling fool. You roll back to front, front to back and twist and can pretty much bonk your little head on anything within a 3 foot radius of anywhere we put you down. As much as i want you to learn and grow, I'm not anxious for you to be mobile yet.
We finally made it to your 6 month check up, and found out what I had already suspected. You are not fat, your not average, you're only in the 6th percentile for weight. But you're in the 60th for height, so you're a tall skinny kid. I'm grateful for the tall part. I was worried that you weren't growing. You are still crazy about solid food and I try to give you some item of food that we are eating for dinner too. Last night it was spaghetti noodles, but three have also been real carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, potato salad, crackers of all types and basically anything that you can gum to death and swallow. And if you had your way, you would eat everything. I'm surprised you haven't willed your teeth to come in so we'll give you more food.
You are still such a happy child, I hope this temperament is permanent. If you could be the little ball of sunshine to offset your sister's little temper rainstorms.
Christmas was fun, you stayed awake and you could almost start to unwrap your presents, if your sister would have had the patience to to watch you open your gifts, instead of needing to "help" you open them. It's a good thing you adore everything she does.
it's been fun, I'm looking forward to spending more time with you this month. Fingers crossed.

love ya,
Mama
