Dear Reagan - 7 months!

This month has seemed to fly by!

It seems like I JUST did your 6 month update.

But time doesn't stand still...so welcome to 7 months!

You aren't such a chunk anymore. 

You have dropped out of the 100th percentile for height

And your weight is only in the 70th now.

You wear mostly 6-9 month clothes.

You started army crawling everywhere!

Our doctor said that some babies don't crawl, as long as you are mobile and can get where you want that is all that matters! Which you can do no problem...you are a quick little guy.

We are still holding out for seeing you crawl though :)

And due to your recent events and how quick you are...our gate for upstairs came just in time!

And in typical fashion you think its a new toy to play with.

You have also been caught numerous times laying by it and tossing your toys down the steps.

You have also recently started trying to pull yourself up onto stuff.

You aren't quite strong enough yet, but you will usually get yourself about halfway up and just hold that position for awhile and then drop back to the floor.

I was going to do your whole 7 month photoshoot in plaid and overalls to get in the spirit of fall. But you are getting a little more difficult to take pictures of. You don't sit so still anymore!

But seriously. You make an adorable country boy.

We started brushing your little teeth.

You think it is absolutely hilarious.

We've gotta keep those pearly whites nice and white!

You also have been going through this phase for the last 2-3 weeks where you wake up everynight screaming...for numerous hours.

This is so new to us. 

You have ALWAYS been a good sleeper.

So we have been some tired parents.

We thought it might be teeth.

We thought it might be growing pains (turns out babies really do grow the most at night...who knew?)

But last night you slept from 9pm till 7am again.

So who knows.

But I will gladly welcome more nights like last night :)

I used to think you were a mama's boy. 

That was probably just because I was the food source, I suppose.

But you LOVE your daddy something fierce.

Which is no surprise. He is SUCH a great daddy.

You really are blessed to have him as yours.

You light up whenever he is around.

I chopped your tuft of hair off.

Those 10 little hairs were getting SO long and kept getting caught in stuff...something had to be done.

And you are SO CUTE.

I am probably the only one that can really tell, but I love it!

You have started sucking your thumb again lately.

Don't get caught up staring at those baby blues though...you were using your thumb-sucking as a disguise to stuff grass and sticks into your mouth.

We are looking forward to what this next month will bring with you.

All the different challenges and milstones you will reach.

We are really praying it will bring a little more sleep though

love you my sweet boy, 

mama
