My Amazing 7 month old!

Allen is officially 7 months old on Monday~ I just want to grab hold of a corner of time and hold onto it so tight it stops for a while. He is growing up so amazingly fast.

He is sitting, crawling, laughing, babbeling, growing and just being an amazing little guy. I am so blessed by him! Amazing little guy let me tell you!

He has taken to liking to eat some things. Recently he tried fresh apricots and loved them. He was just a happy little guy to be able to eat them. So I have been giving a few bites every time I can get some. But the fresh apricots off the trees isn't going to last long. He also has a liking of french fries LOL totally not a "food" but he can grasp them and chew on them and is serious about no one taking them from him and will squack if he drops one he is gnawing on.

He is getting to be a big boy. His little legs are chubby and he has the most adorable little chipmunk cheeks. He is in 6-9 month old clothes now. I had started to wonder if he would ever get out of the 3-6 month size. Of course my other kids (with the exception of Elizabeth) all were on the small side.

More growth and changes are on the way~ he has learned how to scoot his walker around the room now when he is in it. He has decided that dogs are his friends. Our neighbor has a large dog that loves babies and Allen will giggle and reach for her every time he sees her. They have become friends.

So that is our update for now... I'll post more in a few days!
