Seven Months Old!

Seven months old...already! We are finally at a place where we have better internet connection so hopefully I'll be updating my blog better, instead of just monthly updates. But, seven months old...his first birthday will be here before we know it! So much has happened this last month:

- Tristan is crawling when he wants to -- he often defaults back to army crawling. He is also go up stairs now! He is on the move -- 24/7 -- unless he is sleeping/napping (oh, those are good times for mom!).
- He loves loves loves the outdoors! He likes to play in the grass, try to eat the leaves, chase the dogs around (not our dogs, our parents' dogs), take walks in the stroller, and just get dirty like a boy should!
- I tried to weigh him on the scale today and according to that, he is around 16 1/2 lbs now, although he feels heavier than that!
- He enjoys eating solid foods -- sometimes he gets a little impatient :)
- He wears some 6-9 months, some 9 months, and some 12 months clothes (mainly for the length).
- He is on the go constantly, but doesn't like to be on the go by himself. He is starting that "needy" stage where someone always needs to be around.
- He is a "drama king" -- he reacts to "pain" much more than he probably should :)
- He is Mr. Personality Plus -- loves to smile, laugh, talk, etc.
- He's a handful and very exhausting, but he is such a joy!


His 7 month picture. Mimi had to hold him still so I could get a picture!


A better picture to show his size now.


A shirt a friend made him -- so true!


Grandparents were happy that he was!


I love to stand -- makes me a big boy!


Yep, I got myself stuck...and mom wouldn't help me out until she took a picture of me! I'm not really hurting...I was just smiling a second ago!


Playing while mom was trying to pack up the house. He wasn't a big help, if you could imagine!


Playing outside with Mom!
