7 Months

Baby E,

You're 7 Months old and its time to fly again. We're going home to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They cant spend Christmas with you so we're going to see them early!! You got to see your first snow fall on your 7th month birthday on our plane in Albq!! You loved staring out the windows of the plane the whole time, so I am quite sure that even though you didnt know what the snow was you liked looking at it!! This month you pulled up for the firs time and stood with help from us!! One morning we walked into your room and there you were standing in your crib. Now mind you this was pretty scary considering it was still on the top level and you very easily could have leaned out. Thank you Jesus that you did not!! I have to say that this was the first time you felt old to me. Now that you can stand, you seem quite independent, and well...Im not sure I like that!! But you're still up for wonderful morning cuddles!! This month you also finally reached for me. Before now you would only reach to your dad to be held, and expected me to do all the work. You gave in this month though and reached out to me...you love me!! This month was also your first Thanksgiving!! We spent it with some of Dads colleagues and of course your second favorite girl, Maggie Sue!! You spent most of the day just watching the other kids. You could spend hours watching other little people! In fact this is still what you do every time we are out and about in town. No matter where we are you're always watching the other kids, wishing so bad you could be playing with them. Dont worry little man...soon enough, soon enough. Happy 7 months, we love you!!
