What's he up to?

Well, I missed the official 6 month mark, but I'll just do a little "Brody is almost 7 months now" update. (For my own personal records...:)

And I'll make the obligatory, "Wow, I feel like he was just born!" Because what kind of mom would I be if each day actually felt like an eternity to me in this household. Just kidding, only one or two days a week actually feel like an eternity :). Really though, Zac and I were talking and discussing how each day feels so long, but the week is over in a flash. How is this possible? Anyone else feel that way about life?

Back to Brody...

He's still a big guy. Tall and somewhat chubby.

He's sitting up and can do it alone, but will eventually get frustrated or tired and just snap back onto the floor. He doesn't cry when this occurs, but looks scary to me, thus, the Boppy pillow around him for protection :)

He's eating squash, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, and those little puffs. He looks like an old man without his dentures when he gums those things, it's a hoot. If I was a more adept videographer, I'd post a video.

He rolls. Everywhere. Now I have to be really careful about all of the little toys the boys leave around because he's also at the age where everything goes straight to the mouth.

He's a pretty quiet guy. Not lots of babbling or laughing, although I swear he said Mama twice last week. And at Bible study last Friday, he was sitting on the floor next to a one year old boy and couldn't stop making all kinds of noises. The mom said to me later, "Wow, he's quite a talker!" "Not really, that was the most he's talked in his entire life combined, he just likes your son!" It was strange. I think he's just learned that it's pretty tough to get a word in around this house so he may as well not even try yet.

And my favorite--separation anxiety is beginning. All of my boys have had some serious bouts with this. I like to think it's because I am so irresistible :), but I now have a child semi-permanently attached to my hip. I say semi because occasionally he will be entertained by the boys on the floor, but then one of them will scare him or a "give" him a toy a little too enthusiastically, and then he cries again.

But all in all, he really is SUCH a sweet baby, and we thank God for his blessing to us every day!!
