7 months-a lot late

Dearest Jack,
This month you learned to sit by yourself!  This was a huge deal because now we can sit and play with you, roll balls to you, show you your animals without worrying about holding you too! 

You think that your feet are a second set of hands.  It is so cute.  You will grab a ball with your feet and pass it to your hands.  We kiss your feet and when we stop you lift them up to us again.  You chew on your feet now... I am pretty sure you are ready for teeth.  We call you drooley cooley.  Your shirts are ALWAYS soaked.  If we hand you anything it goes directly into your mouth and comes back soaked. 

While you were in America you tried some not so healthy things like Nana's Ice cream or the breading in a donut.  You loved all of those things but i think it is just because your momma has been trying to feed you beets.  I love you my little boy.  I love watching you grow.  I just wish it would all slow down.

Dear Jack,
Where does the time go?  You are HUGE now.  You don't look like the same baby i gave birth to.  You giggle but you make us work hard for it.  You chomp on ANYTHING.  You Roar.  You stick your foot in your mouth.  You say momma.
You ate your first bits of food this month.  Grapes, mangos, apricots, bananas, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, peaches...
I love you my little boy.  Stop growing please.

well...

So my goal was to make a stuffed animal for every letter of the alphabet...

So i made one but um this does not look like an alligator it looks like some sort of fish or salamander...

Um FAIL

But, i think at least attempting it counts for something right?

Try, try again.

On another note, check out the cool embroidery by new sewing machine does by itself!  :)

Dearest Jack,

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
You had your very first giggle on April 1st :)  You are so fun.  You smile all the time now.  I love lifting you up like in the lion king and then blowing on your big ol' belly, especially when you sqeel.  Or blowing in your neck, or helping you "wrangle some cattle" or make monkey noises while you play with your sock monkey.

You do not want to sit down EVER, you stand all the time, you wobble and dance and i love it!  You drool EVERYWHERE!  You blow bubbles with your spit all the time and will entertain yourself for a long time doing just that.  You make me laugh all the time.  You smile when you see yourself in the mirror, and you LOVE when i brush my teeth.  Is my breath that bad?

You roll continually, you do "Thunder Slaps" (what Dad calls them) when you slap your thighs with both arms at the same time.  You grab anything you can, eyes, noses, ears, lips.  You pretend you have a cough to get attention.

Yes, your feet are still the cutest thing around.  We love you.
