7 Months

Bode is now 7 months old and he is probably the most active 7 month old I know.  He by far is my smallest baby.  I get so many comments on how little he is.  He is crawling, hands and knees now, and has gotten quite fast at it.  I am slightly fearful of the day he decides to walk. He pulls himself up on pretty much everything he can.  We had to lower his crib and move it away from the wall recently because he figured out how to pull himself up and play with his blinds so instead of taking naps I would find him peeking out his window and playing pickaboo with who knows what.  Because of him being so active and he was starting to lose some weight I was forced with the decision to either continue breastfeeding, knowing that I wasn't enough for him and he would want to eat again not long after eating off me or just to stop.  I decided to stop and I feel like he is a much happier baby because he is full.  It has been extremely difficult and such an emotional roller coaster ride.  He wants to eat everything in sight and loves just about anything we give him.  He sure is a special little boy and we just love having him in our family!

Silly Faces

1st Lost Tooth

We found out at Corbin's dentist appointment that he had his very first loose tooth.  He was so excited and spent a great deal trying to wiggle it.  Finally after a couple of weeks he just kept telling me that he really wanted it out but I refused to pull it.  I HATE teeth with a passion.  Loose teeth give me the hebbie gebbies so I did not enjoy touching it.  The first Sunday of the year he finally told Kyle to pull it out.  He was nervous but held super still and before he knew it his tooth was out.  I have to admit that I did tear up a little bit.  My boy has grown up so much this last year and this is just one more thing to add to the list of not being little anymore.  He has loved telling everyone and showing anybody and everybody that he has a missing tooth now.

So sad!

New Camera

For Christmas Kyle and I got a new camera from my Father in law.  I've been wanting an SLR camera for awhile and am thrilled when we got one from him!  I've been just playing around a lot with it and trying to get the hang of it.
