7 months!

Xavier,

Can you slow it down a bit please?  We swear you seem to be getting bigger and bigger and learning more and more new things everyday.  Where's our tiny, little baby?

In the growth department:

You now have two teeth on the bottom and they are adorable.  Grandma got you a little toothbrush to brush them with at bathtime.

The other big news to report is that you are fully crawling now!!!  You can crawl about four feet before resorting to a mixture of army crawling, rolling and crawling to get to where you want to go.  You are one determined fella.  You are also trying to pull up on things and we had to lower your bed.  This development has lead to you really enjoy standing up and holding onto your musical table that you got for Christmas.  You like picking up the phone and opening and closing the computer over and over.

Other new toys you like are your jeep and your Lil Zoomers spinner.  Its so funny to watch you push the lever to get it to spin around.  You could watch it for hours.  You still love your bouncer, office, frying pan set, ring stacker and Marvin as well.

The weather this month has been gorgeous and we've enjoyed a lot of time outside as a family.  You love riding along as we rollerbrade and bike and also have enjoyed going to the park and swinging in the swings.

You've had a good time going to school while mommy and papa go to work and you made your first art project for Valentines Day.  Of course its on the fridge.  You still don't really like for people to touch your feet and Miss Kimmie said that you really didn't enjoy getting your foot covered with paint but the end product was too cute.  Speaking of school, you caught your first virus this month and had a fever and double ear infection.  Boo!  You're all over the virus but we're still working on the ears.

You've tried all different kinds of food this month.  Your appetite kind of tanked while you were sick but its back and better than ever now.  You've enjoyed: apples, pears, butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots, peas, papaya, banana, plums, oatmeal, turkey and chicken (You absolutely love turkey!).  You've disliked: green beans and avacado.   

This month has been so much fun (except for the sickness part).  Thanks for continuing to be the best baby that two parents could ever ask for.  We love you.  We love you. We love you.
