7 months

 

This little guy just keeps getting bigger. 

I have so much I need to catch up on... photo-wise and laundry-wise...

but I can't let this kid get any bigger without writing down what he's doing.

Ford is a smiler. He smiles all the tme and is quite possibly the happiest baby I've ever seen.

He can crawl, and he's pretty fast. He doesn't get up on his knees yet, it's the army crawl, but he's really good at it.

He has gorgeous dark blue eyes with almost a caramel/green center that is so pretty to look at.

He's got some allergies (peaches and squash so far) and lots of skin sensitivities. Still haven't figured out what it is that makes him get little blisters all over, but we're trying everything we can think of. Eczema is the norm around here and we just slather him in all sorts of creams and lotions... and the pediatrician told me to keep the hydrocortisone close at hand and not be afraid to use it.

Ford thinks Bridger is about the funniest thing around.

Ford loves Porter and quiets down as soon as Porter is close to him.

He sleeps through the night for about 8-10 hours... can't really ask for more!

Ford is getting into everything, The cabinets, my nightstand, my purse...anything and everything he can get his hands on.

Cords are is favorite toy. He will drop anything he's holding to grab a cord.

He loves solid food and gobbles it down whenever he sits down to eat.

Ford won't take pacifiers or his thumb. If he is really sleepy, he'll latch onto his wrist and suck. It's left him with a few hickeys :) 

If you've held Ford, you should also know that he's a jumper. I don't think I've met a single person who has held him and hasn't asked, "Do you have a Johnny Jumper?"

Yes, we do. And it is used daily!

He loves to take baths. You normally end up just as wet as he is by the end of it.

I can't believe how quickly he is growing up. I love this stage, he's just so sweet.

Not to mention that I could just eat up those chunky cheeks!
