seven months

My sweet baby boy is seven months!

At seven months, Brady is a curious little wiggle worm!  He is quick at rolling, scooting, turning around on his belly, army crawling, and finding his way into trouble.  He especially likes to army crawl his way over to the TV stand and reach for the knob on the drawer to which he can pull open.  He is in the stage where he is fascinated by lap tops, cell phones, TV remotes, and any other electronic that he is not supposed to play with. I can't even imagine what the world looks like through his eyes!  So much to discover, touch, taste, see, and hear. He loves touching everything in sight, feeling textures, and putting everything in his mouth. This is really such a fun stage of discovery for him and a fun stage of watching him grow!  However, I do have to be more cautious because he is in to everything!

Last week was my first week back at work.  Brady was in good hands with family, but I sure did miss spending the whole day with him.  I didn't cry too much or worry too much, but I think that was because he was with my family.  If I had dropped him off into hands of strangers at daycare, I know that it would of been harder on me. 

Brady is such a happy baby! Occasionally he throw his tantrums and shows his feisty side, especially when you take a toy away from him; but for the most part, he is such happy baby.  Strangers have made comments to us that Brady smiles with his eyes and it is so true!  He does have this sparkle in his eyes that shows the joy within! He is such a loveable and hugable little bear!
