7 Months Old

At the Home & Garden Show, and this is how I found Ryan after I went and checked my email. He had scootched backward under the couch.

Ryan turned 7 months old this past week! I can't believe how quickly they grow. We are always told, "it goes by so fast," but how true it is! He's actually at the age where you start thinking about the next one - but that's all we might be doing. There aren't any plans yet. But it's never too early to be praying for wisdom and when to plan for the next one. Ryan can now successfully roll from his back to his tummy, crawl (inching around) backward, and I now often find him in his crib having rolled to his tummy and moving around the crib, blankets askew and Curious George faithfully soaked from drool. It's quite humerous, however, I still want my baby to fall asleep. I'm not quite sure how I could teach a 7 month old not to party... I might have to go back to swaddling!

We also got some work on our house done. We exchanged the sliding glass door for a set of french doors, and we switched out our front door for a new one. They look nice and are much more energy efficient and block out a lot of the road noises. So far we have enjoyed hosting a couple of dinners already and look forward to having more friends over! We love our house and I can't wait until we can paint the walls and do all the upgrades we hope for. That will be years, of course. Enjoy the pics!
