7 MONTHS OLD!

Brayden turns 7 months on Sunday. It is really hard to believe. We feel like he is changing on a daily basis. He seems to reach a new milestone each day! Here are some he achieved this month:

• eating solid food: loves carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, YoBaby vanilla yogurt; hates anything green and cereal (not that I blame him - it looks like wallpaper paste -- we need to try oatmeal I guess)

• can sit in high chair

• sitting up all on his own (teeters a little)

• got his new big boy car seat - out of the infant carrier (yeah! my back is relieved)

• can sit in grocery cart seat

• wants to crawl; all he does now while on the floor is get on all fours - but just rocks back and forth - not going forward yet but he will be soon! I have mixed emotions on this one. I don't think I am ready to chase him around yet. We made a run to Babies R Us this week to get babyproofing supplies.

It's been fun watching him change so much. I wish we could slow it down. Time seems to be flying by. His personality is really showing. He has such a sweet disposition (like me) but he can be quite stubborn and very head strong at times (wonder where that comes from?:) His constant smiling is contagious and always puts us in a good mood.

Here are some pics from the month:

Mother's Day brunch with Nana - cousin Cooper was there too!

Getting sugar from Nana.

Sweet photo of Mommy and Brayden.

The best shot I could get of the cousins. They were tuckered out from brunch.

Not so sure about peas and cereal. Yuck.

Playing with Nanny on the floor.

Yummy! I love carrots!

Hanging out in the sun.

Relaxing with Nanny.

Almost crawling!

I love sitting up! It's so much better than laying on my back all of the time.

Okay Momma - I am tired. Ready for my bath! See you at 8 months!

Fun Saturday

Today Brayden and I went to an art festival with Dad and Jackie (AKA Pappy and Mimi). It was a beautiful day. Thought I would post some pics...

Clearly he can't hold in his excitement to see some art.

Once Mimi sprung him out of his car seat he started having some fun!

I love my hoody sweatshirt.

Proud Pappy and Mimi. I can't believe we got a shot where Brayden is actually looking into the camera.

Time for bed!
