Seven Months

I can't believe it either. Carson is seven months old. My mom said yesterday "he's almost been alive as long as he was in your tummy!" That is so mind blowing to me! This seems to be going by so much faster!!! He's turning into a little boy. Brian and I are amazed daily at things he does. He had his 6 months check up a little while ago and our doctor said "whoa, he's long isn't he!" He's in the 79th percentile for length...but only the 35th for weight! He's a little string bean like his dad was! The doctor said that his weight is pretty normal...and that it may even go down a little bit more due to his rising physical activity level.

He's taken to rolling himself all over the house...getting where he wants to go. He continues to reach and grab for everything. We're pretty sure crawling is just around the corner. He'll get up on his knees a little...so it seems like he knows there's gotta be a better way to get around, he just hasn't quite figured out what it is. He's even started throwing little fits when anything is taken from him, or when he can't get something he wants. It's pretty cute...but we're hoping he grows out of it! Still NO TEETH! But that certainly hasn't stopped him from trying new foods. He's a great eater! Sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, peas...he's yet to find anything he does NOT like! And, in his mom's humble little opinion, the greatest thing he's begun doing is what she'd like to think is his way of giving kisses. When he gets excited, he'll grab your ear, hair, neck, or face (whatever is most convenient) open his mouth, pull you toward him and put his open mouth on your cheek. It is so stinkin' cute.

The other day, he, Tayler and I were playing her room. She has a car for her doll house that has a radio that really plays music. He was sitting up in her room, and every time we'd push the radio, he'd begin "dancing". He'd rock back and forth to the beat...then stop when the music stopped. We were laughing so hard! He's also decided that he LOVES the computer. Even when our lap top is closed...he reaches for it and taps on the top of it like he's typing. We let him play with Tayler's barbie laptop the other day too, which he really enjoyed.

We're still couldn't be happier with our little guy....and can't wait to see what new things he has in store for us!
