7, yes SEVEN!!!!! Months

I feel like every month I post about how I can't believe my Bubby is a WHOLE month older!!!! LOL  But it is sooooooooo true.  I really can't believe how much time flies.  I'm sure that any of you readers who are parents understand!  James and I are BEYOND blessed to have such a wonderful, happy, healthy baby boy.  I thank God everyday for such a great gift! Some aquantiances I have found out today during an ultrasound that their baby has some complications/defects, and it has really weighed heavily on my mind.  They aren't sure of the extent of the complications yet... they have to see a specialist... they could be fixed easily with surgery, or it could be more serious.  Its so sad, and really had me thinking about just how precious each baby is, and how LUCKY I am that Connor is healthy.  I absolutely cherish every moment I have with him!

I can't believe this was 7 months ago!!!!

This is me just after they started the pitocin drip to induce me.  I didn't know what a rough 19 hours I was in for!!! LOL

This is Connor James meeting his Papaw Benham for the first time.  I LOVE this picture!  It looks like Connor's opening his little mouth to talk to his Papaw, and those little eyes are just taking everything in! So sweet!

Connor was offically 7 months this past Sunday, on February 20th.  He has been cracking me up at this age.  Everything he does is so cute and funny.  Today, I got out one of the canvas bins we store his toys in, and he turned it over and practically sat in it taking one toy out at a time.  He was so funny examining and eating each toy and then moving on to the next!

Connor went to the doctor two days ago for a fever... turns out he had a touch of a virus, but he is doing much better now!  He weighed 21 lbs. 13oz.!  Nice and healthy... and even didn't gain but a few ounces from his 6 month appointment!  On the way home, however, I noticed that his baby carseat has a weight limit of 22 lbs!!!! Eeek!  So, needless to say, we will be switching to his convertable carseat this weekend!!!  I was hoping for it to be warmer before we switched so I could continue to use the JJ Cole "bundle me" insert, which keeps him warm and toasty.  I don't want him to freeze when I take him in and out of the car in the mornings! :o(

My bubbly 7 month old LOVES peek-a-boo!  I wish I had a video to show you what he does, because its hilarious!!!! I will have to try to make one!  When James jumps out and says peek-a-boo, Connor jumps a mile-high like you scared him to death, and then he giggles and squeals!  It is priceless!  Look for a video in the future!

I had Connor in his exersaucer next to me playing in the kitchen a couple of days ago while I was putting away and organizing his baby food drawer.  I started taking out pouches of baby food and placing them in the drawer when he started screaming in protest!  I thought he was just fussing, but each time I put a jar in the drawer he freaked out!!!  He started leaning over the edge of the exersaucer trying to reach out for the jars!!!  It was so funny! He was trying to tell his Momma he wanted some food!!! So, we took a break and he got some yummy apples and strawberries!  LOL

Bubby is becoming VERY moblie! I am going to have to do some major babyproofing soon!  He army crawls across the carpet and rolls to what he wants.  He even turns in circles on his belly! LOL My pediatrician was pretty impressed with how moblie he was.  He says that chunkier babies have trouble sometimes, but once they are on the move... you better watch out! LOL

Here's a picture of my ADORABLE 7 month old!

Happy 7 months Bubby!  Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back!  You are our world and everything in it!  We love you!!!! xoxo
