Connor 7 Months Old

(These monthly pics are getting harder and harder to 

capture because little man is everywhere!!)

Connor is so much more mobile now which means my little active baby is always on the go! Rolling and scooting everywhere! Getting on all fours and rocking back and forth. Bouncing like crazy. And at the very last week of month 7, he has crawled a few steps and pulled up to stand! Time please stop!

So what has Connor been up to this month? Connor had his first swimmers ear. Poor baby may have ears just like his daddy. He doesn't let it stop him though because he is still my happy and smiling baby! He has also tried a few new foods including zucchini, peaches, and puffs. He is able to rake the puffs off of his tray and put in his mouth all by himself. He is trying to feed himself with the spoon but ends up getting food everywhere! Such a fun experience :) Oh, and he loves limes.. no idea why but everytime we go to eat Mexican he sucks on the limes! He went to his first family reunion this month as well! Of course everyone adored him and wanted to hold him. And he is such a friendly baby and will go to anyone with a big smile. He did so good being that it was 90+ degrees outside and barely a breeze. He was glad to get in the car in the AC though! We had to lower his crib down this month because big boy is pulling himself up to stand on it! We go outside A LOT! Between swimming, boating, and stroller rides, we seem to live outside and he loves it!
