Cru @ 7

Seven months. So much closer to a year old than a newborn. Times are changing. He's growing up so much, so fast. And I'm loving every minute of it. How could I not? This is Cru...95% of the time!
I'm a lucky mama.
Mr. Buckets-Of-Drool pushed through two more teeth this month. Can you tell?

You may remember the blue suitcase from his 9-day old photoshoot. (photo by my friend Amy)
I meant to use it in his 6 month and 1 year photo shoots as well...whoops. Was that last month? Here it is...a month later than planned. It shrunk just a bit.
I tried to limit my pictures...honest, I did. He's just too.darn.cute.

Things we love about Cru @ 7 months...

• this "Alfalfa" hair thing he has going on. It's all natural, baby.
• his deep belly laugh...especially when he's laughing at Katy. It's the best!
• the way he talks to his doggie that is in his crib
• his wet and enthusiastic kisses
• how he lays his head on my chest for a snuggle
• his "yelling"...it's not sad, it's just noise experimentation
• his mellow nature
• how he responds to the sound of my voice...even over the phone...and gets excited when he sees me from across the room
• those blue eyes (no eye brightening actions were used...they are just THAT blue)
• his enthusiasm for food, especially for squash and sweet potatoes
• his sleep habits
• his coping ability
• his unique rolling-pushing-squirming form of mobility (and the fact that he's NOT crawling yet)

Oh, how we love you, Cru.
Good night.
