7 Months!







Every day I wake up and look at my son, he's grown, again. Now that baby boy is eating solid foods, he's packing on the pounds and getting cuter every day. He's so cute right now I really can't stand it.

We estimate he's about 15.5 lbs., and probably grown another inch. In the last month he's become fully and efficiently mobile, even jumping right into pulling himself up on low things (like his mom sitting, or toys or duffel bags...). He loves playing with his toys and reading books (less eating of books now which is fantastic) and crawling around as much as possible. He also looooooves water - bathtime, pooltime, drinking water, everything!

Things that rate highest on Alpin's list (other than his mama and papa): kids, puppies, solid food, peek-a-boo, and Yellow Submarine (still).

Alpin is the life of every party, we just went to Frank and Erin's wedding yesterday and he bonded with almost their entire crew of friends and family. It didn't hurt that there were bubbles, puppies and other kids there. He also took another camping trip (Hendy Woods) after Labor Day and we had so much fun. He really loves the tent and crawling around.

Alpin also has a greater sense of self and his personality is blossoming. He still makes ridiculous facial expressions (concerned...surprised...smile) and has quite a babbling vocabulary to go with it. He also lets us know when he doesn't agree with what's going on, and thinks he should be able to do something else.

If you want to make him laugh, just play peek-a-boo or takes notes from this video:



Or watch this video to see how crazy and talkative our son is:
