Seven months: a letter

Dear Morgan,

You are growing too fast! I cannot believe how quickly time is flying! You are becoming less baby and more and more moving into looking like a toddler. I DON'T like it, I wish you could stay little forever! You had a BIG7th month. SO many new things!

Growth:
- You weigh approximately 18 or 19 pounds. You are really starting to "fill" out. Ie you are getting lots and lots of rolls!

- You are in size three diapers and filling out 9 month clothes
- Your personality is really starting to shine through. You are so so so happy and most everything makes you smile. You particularly like when your sister jumps up and down in front of you. You for some reason find this HILARIOUS. She loves to make you laugh.

- Your biggest accomplish this past month was rolling over! The first time only Gaga witnessed, and I will be honest, I didn't believe her. Well, I didn't want to believe her. You are with me 99.9999% of the time and the few seconds you were out of might sight over you went! But the next day you showed us your trick, several times from back to front. You were so proud. About a week later we were all discussing when you would go from your belly to your back and there you went. You must have known we were talking about you!

Food:
- Another big accomplishment this month was eating food! From the first time you ate like a pro! And we haven't found a food you don't like yet! After every bite you say mmmmmmm. You have had avacados, sweet potatoes, carrots and oatmeal.

- You still nurse about 5 times a day. I feel like you are eating two hours, which explains why you are filling out so nicely.

Sleeping:
- You are still a sleeping rockstar. You take 2 naps a day, morning and afternoon. And go to bed about 8 every night and sleep until 8-830 in the morning. Sometimes I wake you up at 9! You need to teach your brother your ways.

- You are still sleeping in your swing. We need to break this habit, but you do so well its hard to end a good thing!
- You don't really like to be rocked and snuggled, this makes me so sad. I am not ready for this to be over. But sometimes I get a few snuggles in :)

Activities:
- Mommy officially quit her job this month in order to stay home. This was hard. I had been at the same place for 10 years so it was hard to say goodbye, but I am so happy and lucky I get to spend my days with you! We have so much fun together and I just want to cherish every moment.
- We did lots of swimming. You love to sit in the water and splash.
- We celebrated your brothers 3rd birthday. You were a cute little pirate.

- We also celebrated fathers day, your dads first fathers day with three kids! And since it was Landon's birthday too we went to Ichiban! Family fav!

- We celebrated your first fourth of July, you were in bed before the fireworks started.

 

I cannot believe you are growing so fast! You are still the best baby ever and have made our family complete. I love you to the moon and back.

Love
Mommy
