Christian is 7 Months

Our little joy!

Christian and his Easter puppy from Nana and Papa.

With Daddy at Isle of Palms Beach

This past month has been an exciting one for all of us:

• We were "reunited" with Steve and have really enjoyed being together again despite the not-so-fabulous TLF living. (We CANNOT wait to have a place of our own.)
• Christian has become very active and strong! Now that he has the hang of rolling over we find him all over the place. He enjoys sleeping on his tummy now, and flips right over when I lay him down for naps/bedtime.
• He loves taking walks in the stroller and enjoys two, sometimes even three walks a day. South Carolina livin' really agrees with him so far. (And us as well.)
• He especially enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa R's visit this past month. Christian is generally very easy going and loves interacting with others. He is developing such a fun personality.
• These past couple of weeks he has really been babbling, so fun to hear him say "ma-ma," "eh-meh,"and "bay-be"...although I know it probably doesn't quite qualify as his first words just yet.
• Christian has always loved it when we sing to him in the mirror, and now he loves to giggle and smile at his own reflection.
• He is mostly a good little eater, and his solid food repertoire includes: pears, peaches, bananas, sweet potatoes, apples, and carrots. We kinda took a step back with the solids this week, as poor little guy had a fever and would only nurse. On Tuesday at the doctor office (hooray! for a GREAT military pediatrician) Christian weighed 18 lbs. 13 oz.
• He absolutely loves his daddy and it has been fun to see them together.
• Christian has the most beautiful smile and contagious giggle. He is really starting to look like a little boy to me, especially now that he has his two bottom teeth. It is so fun to see him growing and learning. We love our little man!
  

Look! Toes in my mouth! Yum yum!

Always ready for an adventure!
