My Valentine!!!

I can't help but think of how God has truly blessed me over the past 5 years. He gave me a wonderful husband who has never treated me any less then his queen.

I can't help reminiscing our dating days, wedding, and our happily ever after. I can't say we haven't had our share of trials, but the blessings are more than we can even begin to tell. I look forward to the years ahead if our Lord should tarry. We have been blessed with our 2 beautiful babies and life is so sweet in this little house.
In honor of this Valentines day I am just going to go back a few years and share thru pictures our little journey since we said "I DO" 5 years ago. Enjoy!

7 Month Update

Weight: 20 lb 4oz.     Height: 28 in.

* Feeding habits: My big boy can now pick up foods off of his tray. I started giving him some Gerber Puffs and he has mastered them quickly. However, he does now think that whenever anyone else is eating he should be as well. :)

* Daily routine: 

    Things have been kind of crazy the last few weeks and so not much of a routine has been kept up. He still takes 2 naps a day, morning and afternoon. He is still getting up twice a night which is so unlike his pattern of sleeping a few months ago. Still not sure what is contributing to this arrangment, but I am fully ready for him to get back on an all night sleeping track or at least once a night.

* He is now scooting on his hands and knees and getting everywhere he wishes to go. Yesterday he did move forward on his knees. Just a matter of time before he will be crawling everywhere.

* He can stand up on his own if holding on to the couch or chair. Big surprise to me! He is one strong boy.

* He has started making sounds like GOO and DA. Troy is certain he is saying his name. :)

* He loves every minute of play time with Julia. She can get him to smile instantly. He sure loves her.

* He can move everywhere in his walker.

* He is able to sit up on his own with very little falling over.

* He is still VERY curious about everything.

* He can make smacking noises with his mouth now and I just take it that he is sending us kisses. ;)

I do believe he is growing way too fast and he will be walking before I know it. 

He is in a very clingy stage right now, but I love every moment of it.
