7 months old!

Wow! 7 months old! You are changing so much! Levi, you are such a sweetheart. Whenever we pick you up, you put your arms around our neck and give great strong hugs. You love to hang out with Dad, often rocking in the chair in your room. You give smiles so easily. We simply have to walk into the room you are in or say your name and your smile erupts! For people you don't know as well you couldn't be more serious though. 

 You said "mama" and "dada" but you mainly just say "dada" now even after the strong and frequent encouragement of "mama" on a daily basis. You really started jabbering this month.  YOU. CAN. EAT. You have tried apples, sweet potatoes, squash, pears, blueberries and carrots with no complaints. You now eat baby food for breakfast and lunch with an enormous portion of rice cereal for supper. You continue to breastfeed every 3-4 hours during the day. You are often distracted by life while feeding. If someone enters the room or simply talks you immediately turn to see who it is. We often have to go into a room all by ourselves so you can eat uninterrupted (which is very complicated with our busy schedule). You are an active eater and often pound mom with your arm and kick your feet. You are very strong. You like to grab anything within reach. You still love your exersauser and jumperoo. You like to destroy paper. Your eyes are blue...I still don't know what to do with that.You are enjoying the soccer season again. Your 1st tooth came through. You (along with Mom, Dad, the Nanas and Papas) survived your 1st time away from us, while we took a quick trip to Las Vegas for Dad's work. Your sleeping hasn't been the same since. You are very inconsistent. Sometimes you sleep all night. Sometimes you get up once and go right back to bed. Sometimes you are up 4-5 times a night. It hasn't helped that you have had a cold/runny nose most of this past month. Your congestion often keeps you up, making it difficult to breath. We are more than ready for spring and no more cold season!!!

 What an adorable bunny!!!

 You love to sit on the floor and play with all of your toys, while soaking in the crazy environment around you. Whenever I pick you up at daycare, you are always sitting very nicely playing with a book or basket of toys. When I say your name, you look up and smile!

 You love to hang out with your sisters and they love you!!! If they get a little too close you hang on to their hair.

You shared the tub with your sister for the 1st time. I don't know who was more excited, but your Dad was terrified and couldn't believe that I would do that. Guess what??? You all survived and had fun too!
