7 Months

Colbi,

You are seven months and 5 days old. 

You are on the move now, which is why your seven months picture are all blurry! You are not crawling yet, thank goodness. Mommy is trying to take it all in and not rush you growing up. 

You are a rollie poley! When we put you on the floor, you will just roll all around. We love to watch you.

You are talking more and more everyday. You've been saying "Mamma" a ton this week, which is music to my ears. Daddy is anxiously awaiting to hear you say "Daddy". 

You still love to hear the ABC's, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Jesus Loves Me, and This Little Light of Mine. Singing is one of your favorites things, even Jenn tells me you will sing all the time at daycare.

You are wearing size 2 diapers still, 6-9 months clothes, sleeping consistently thru the night, and eating solids twice a day. You are eating every 3-4 hrs, sometimes you will go five hours during the day without eating. You are just too busy exploring and singing to stop and eat! 

Mommy and Daddy love you so much. We talk about all the wonderful things you did that day together. Sometimes we even argue about who gets to feed you or rock you. Bath time is typically done with Daddy, while Mommy and you spend mornings together. We eat breakfast and then you play while Mommy gets ready for work. 

You aren't quite into anything specific yet, as far as a favorite tv show or toys. Anything that lights up or you can chew on is always a favorite. 

Colbi,

You are officially closer to being a one year old than a baby. I so enjoy watching you grow up. Everyday is something new and I can't wait to go get you in the mornings because your smile is the best thing on the planet. You bring more joy and happiness to my heart than anything else I could ever imagine. I pray for you daily. I pray for safety, I pray that we raise you to be someone of integrity and good character, and I pray that God uses you to do great things. While I can't wait to see all the amazing things you will see and do over the years, right now, Mommy is still excited that you love her and want to cuddle. It's still my most absolute favorite thing to do. 

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy
