7 months!!

Yikes! He's 7 months! He's now closer to being a year old than not. This...is not okay.

The other day Justin and I were at Target and saw the sweetest board book called "If I Could Keep You Little." It's basically about how much we love our children and want to savor every moment of each stage of their childhood, but at the same time there are so many great things for them to see and do and become as they grow up. The last line of the book reads, 

"If I could keep you little, I'd keep you close to me. 

But then I'd miss you growing into who you're meant to be!" 

Get me the tissue box please.

7 month photo shoot and collage

I also thought I'd throw in this picture of his cousin Beck at the same age.

He's started clapping and it's SO cute!!

He's also started babbling - like more than just cooing and making noise. It really sounds like he wants to say something now. I had to video tape the wall with him in the background because he stops whenever he sees the camera haha.

How he wakes up ♥

Why do we bother with a play pen when a laundry basket will do??

Justin gave Nolan his very own phone (his old one) to try to distract him from trying to take ours. Is this a terrible thing?! (no need to answer haha). It's pretty crazy though how much he loves phones already. Yikes!

He loved mom's mashed potatoes! Good thing or Justin might have requested a paternity test.

Our cutie
