Dear Ehren: Seven Months

Dear Ehren,

The months are just flying by. I can't believe that there are only 5 months left in your first year! Right now this is you:

- You do the worm to get around, but you're well on your way to a proper crawl

- You are fiercely independent and want to hold your own bottle and spoon

- You rarely giggle, but when you do, it's the best part of my day

- You are teething and no longer sleep through the night
- You are very difficult to get back to sleep once you wake up in the middle of the night. Very difficult.

- You are stubborn and demanding and you are louder than mom.

- You still get what you want, including nursing at 3 am (which I said I refused to do)

- You cry when mom and dad leave the room with you in the bouncer

- You follow mom and dad, by doing the worm, if they leave the room with you on the floor

- You talk A LOT by saying adadadadadadadada over and over again

 Sweet son, you are an amazing part of my life. I'm constantly in awe at how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. The future months hold more change, I'm sure, but right now is so darn sweet.

I love you forever,

Mama
