7 Months Old!!

To think about the fact that my baby is 7 months old already makes me want to cry.  I'm already thinking about his first birthday and all of the planning to do!  I was just telling my husband that in 5 months he'll be 1 year old already!!!  The first 7 months have flown by so I can't even think how fast the next 5 are going to go.  I'm thinking a lot will happen this month, scooting or maybe even crawling....we shall see!

As I was driving down to Scripts to close last night I noticed that it was still really light outside at 5:30pm!!!  This gave me a huge sense of excitement to think that warm weather might be just around the corner.  Even better.....SUMMER!!!  I can NOT wait for summer to come.  I see so many cute things in the stores now for spring/summer but I'm refusing to buy just yet, as it will just sit in a closet for at least 3 more months!  That's what usually  happens, I buy things, stash them away, and keep buying things.  Then when its time to dig everything out I realize I have a ridiculous amount of stuff.

Soooo on Valentines Day, as I was getting Jack's dinner ready for him I heard him say "BA BA BA" - his first consonant sound!!!!  I looked over at him and he was (very carefully) making his lips in the shape that would allow him to make this sound, and was very softly saying it to himself.  It was SO stinking CUTE!  Then as dinner progressed he got more confident and got louder and louder.....hahaha I love the little face he makes when trying to talk.  I LOVE when he smiles with his lips together and doesn't show any teeth, its hilarious to me.

Another first....we all have colds in our house.  Jack has his first cold, I don't think its all that bad though, runny nose, I can hear slight congestion at times when he breaths, but other than that we've been extremely lucky when it comes to getting sick.  In fact I think he's who I caught my cold from since I kiss him a million times a day.   In addition to not feeling well his top front teeth are coming in!!!!  This makes for no sleep for momma and a cranky baby.  I feel so bad for him, his gums are VERY swollen, his drool has increased to a ridiculous amount (for Jack), and I can tell they are really bothering him.  I catch him rubbing them with his thumb.....poor baby :(  Just hoping they pop through soon so we can be done with this for a while.

I'm thinking I want to paint my china cabinet in my dining room, its not my style and I don't like the color.  It was given to us for free so I'm thinking why not??  It has doors on it and I think I'm going to have Johnny remove them, this would look better in my opinion plus make for easier painting.  Only problem is that its a big project and I'm not sure I'm in the state of mind to tackle something like this right now. I'll save that decision for another day :)

Here is a pic of my little monster on V-Day.....

Valentine for Jack!!
