7 months and still growing...

Okay so I have been horribly bad about taking pictures of my son. I used to give my mom such a hard time for having about 10 pictures of my childhood and now I just think well our third may only have 10 pictures too.. So needless to say I have been trying to get better at taking pictures of him.
He just turned 7 months on the 12th of this month and I have a BIG boy on our hands. He is weighing in at 22 pounds and I actually can't remember his length, but he is in the 98% for weight, length, and head. The doctor just laughed when he took his measurments and states "Well you have a proportionally BIG baby." I laugh and think yup I am pretty sure I realize that since I am the one who carries him around all the time... but it is a great workout!
He is turning into such a great little boy. Once we settled into our house he has been so fun. He LOVES his sister. She acts as if he is a doll and dresses him up while he just sits there and laughs. The other morning I walked into the kitchen where Jake was playing with his toys and Allie had put a boa around him, a crown on his head, and a bracelet on him and she is saying to him "you're such a pretty little girl". Well I guess we all know what she wishes jake was :) So I am trying to put sports balls in his hands as much as possible :) He is eating solid foods now, I have made him, Sweet potatoes, peas, broccoli, squash, and applesauce all of which he scarffed down, not surprising! He definitely loves baguettes and any type of roll he can pull his direction. He is also a crazy scooter. He can scoot himself anywhere at this point. He finally figured out how to get from a sitting position to on his belly and he is very happy about that. I have got him and his sister on the same napping schedule, which makes this mama VERY happy and he is sleeping a solid 12 hours at night. I think my body is making up for some seriously lost sleep and I am enjoying getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep now. Some cute jake-isms : He is doing this cute thing where he wraps his hands around my face and gives me this sloppy drooly kiss, it cracks me up every time he does it. So crazy cause the other night we were sitting at the table after dinner and playing peek a boo with Jake and he looks at me picks up his napkin and puts it over his head and we say peek a boo! and he puts it down and laughs. Rob and I looked at eachother in amazement thinking theres no way he just did that.. but sure enough he continued to each night after dinner. too funny.

I feel so blessed to have two healthy beautiful children. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for His blessing. There is always some rough days, rough moments, rough hours, but there is always a time to be thankful to kiss those big chunky cheeks and to feel honored that God called me to be his mother.
