7 Months

Matthew...20 pounds, eats like a horse, has two teeth and is army crawling! It's been a busy month in the life of this little guy! He has also found his voice! And it is...loud! He likes to talk and sing...as much as his brothers and sister so there is a lot of competition for talking time!
We only have 6 more weeks left in our rental house. Not long enough to justify putting holes in the walls with baby gates so we have to get creative with barricading him in rooms where he can't escape. He is quick! His motivations are remote controls and newspaper. If we can keep those our of sight he is generally happy to stay put.
Teething was relatively easy for him as far as teething goes and he continues to almost sleep through the night from 7-7...maybe this will be the month! Matthew's favorite place to be is the bath tub! He loves to splash and watch the water come out of the faucet. He will stay in there as long as I let him! He pulled himself up to a standing position in his crib this month, and was awfully proud of himself but Daddy lowered it to avoid any falls!

He is very happy and beginning to get a little bit silly. He flaps his arms around or burrows his face into people and laughs and laughs. He is so great!
