7 Months, Really?!

Yep, it's true. Kyan turned 7 months old this past Tuesday. It really is as little unbelievable isn't' it? I mean 7 month olds aren't little babies anymore. Actually it seems like they are well on their way to 12 months. Can this be true? My little Kyan has left the little baby stage? I guess he has, but I'm still not saying that he is an old baby. He is right in the middle--standard baby.

No matter how old he is though, he is the sweetest thing around. I swear this kid is going to melt hearts his whole life with how sweet he is. He is so content with life too. Whatever is going on, he is ok with it. Pretty awesome characteristics to have I think. I love this little guy so much!

Kyan, here is what you are up to at 7 months....also a few things I just adore about you at this age:

*You sleep amazing! About 11.5 hours at night and still 3 naps (2-2 hrs and 1-1hr).
*You eat amazing! You will eat anything we give you and you love to do it!! :) You take 4 bottles a day and 3 meals of baby food.
*I can get you to laugh at almost any moment.
*You are very ticklish! This always brings on the giggles.
*You give the best snuggles!
*When you are sleepy (including every night when I put you to bed), you snuggle in on my shoulder, put your thumb in your mouth, and your other hand in my hair. Melts my heart every time.
*You roll anywhere and everywhere. You have picked up the skill of pivoting too--no longer getting stuck! :)
*You sit up all by yourself without constantly tipping over anymore.
*You love to investigate toys, and of course, stick them all in your mouth.
*You got your first tooth four days before your 7 month birthday (bottom right).
*You finished your first whole month of being watched by Aunt Crista while mom is at work--you love her, so you did great!
*You blow raspberries all the time! It is super cute too!
*You are very observant. You watch really closely things you are interested in.
*We started sign language with you this month. Obviously you haven't picked anything up yet, but you watch so closely!
*You are a constant smiler! :)
*You are babbling like crazy.
*You love to be sung to.
*You still think Mckinley is about the best thing in the world.
*You give your daddy HUGE smiles the second he walks in the door!
*You weight 19.8 lbs and you are 28.5 inches long!

We just love having you two kiddos so much. It is amazing how much joy can be found in a crazy night at home with messy dinners, bath time, stories, games of chase, tickles, and playing on the floor. Happy 7 months baby!

 Looking at your sister of course!
