7 months old!

I know every month I say..he's already _ months old...but really, its so amazing how fast the time flies! Christian is definitely not a newborn anymore! Last Saturday, Ben, Christian, Mitchell and I went to the last men's basketball game at WSU. It was entertaining to go and Christian didn't seem to mind all the noise. Afterwards, I had to go to work, so they came in to the hospital and we weighed Christian. He was 18# 12 oz with clothes on and all. I guess that would explain why carrying the car seat in and out of the car with him in it is getting to be a more serious task. He eats his food much better now, we have tried most vegetables now I think and just beginning the fruit. Anything new, he makes the scrunched up face and acts like he will spit it out, but after he tries a couple bites usually he does pretty well with the rest. We all had the "crud" this month, including Christian. We didn't have to take him in because on the 10th day he was starting to get better, and the doctor's office said if it lasts 10 days bring him in. Very grateful to have a healthy family, and our nights are restful again!

Here are some of the latest pictures of the growing baby....

He loves his little activity toy. It is pretty entertaining to watch him rock back and forth in this..he thinks he is BIG stuff!

He still loves bath time. And of course if his feet are available, they're going to be pulled up to his face.

Happy with Daddy. He is laughing more everyday. He gets a bit shy around other people doing it though. For now, just trust me that its pretty cute :)

And one with mama :) I do love my little boy. He is a pretty big fan of attacking my face with an open mouth. I'm going to guess this is a form of "kiss"..or he just wants to eat my face. He won't do it to Ben even when given a prime opportunity..I told Ben maybe he needs a smoother shaven face :)
