John Warren is 7 months!

Wow John Warren! You are seven months old...well, actually 7 months and 10 days if you want to be technical. You are growing so quickly. When we went to the doctor on the 10th, you were 28 inches and 18 pounds!

Your first tooth finally broke through around 6 1/2 month. It took a few days for it to break through completely, and now you have sparkling white tooth staring at me every time you open your sweet little mouth. Your second tooth broke through your gums a few days after your 7 month birthday! You have been such a good little boy and haven't bit mommy even once. :)

Your personality is growing. You are the sweetest baby. You love to be hugged and cuddled. Your baby kisses are my favorite. You love to touch everything. Last night, you even grabbed my sweet potato and ate part of it. You love playing with an empty or full water bottle, and if you want something that I take away, you will show it by letting out a little fuss.

You love eating, but you would rather me hold you and feed you than sit in your high chair. You love potatoes, sweet potatoes, peaches, pears, apples, bananas, and sweet peas.

Bath time has become playtime for you now! You love to play with your little ducky and your light toys. You will pull up on the side of your baby tub and love to grab at the metal parts of the tub. You like to eat the rag and drink the water, so I have to be careful and watch you very carefully!

My favorite part of the day is coming home to you because you always greet me with a huge smile. Sometimes I even get squeals of joy when I walk through the door. I hope your enthusiasm for seeing me never changes.

Even though you aren't crawling, you started pulling up right at 7 months. When I'm on the floor with you, you crawl all over me and pull yourself up so that you are standing. Now, you want to pull up on everything! You have become quite a handful, and we love it!

Mommy still nurses you, and you love that time that we spend together. Many days you spend much of the afternoon and evening nursing. I love holding you close and knowing that I'm providing for you and giving you a healthy start. You are only going to be a baby for a short time, and I want to do everything that I can for you. There is absolutely, positively nothing in the world that I love to do more than nursing you.
