7...

Dear Thomas,

Tomorrow, you will turn seven months old!

My how in love I am with your sweet smile, your laugh, and the fire I see in your eyes.

I can’t believe that you are now closer to being a year old than to being a newborn!

Right now, you are keeping your dad and me entertained at all times. You’re sitting up, rolling back and forth, laughing, and you can’t get enough of Mr. Beau. We’re convinced the two of you will be best friends one day.

You have, I think, the most perfect disposition. You are rarely fussy. You are timid with strangers, but warm up within seconds. You are super cuddly, and are just plain good. This has nothing to do with what we have done...it comes from within.

You LOVE your sleep, and it looks like you're going to be like me: early to bed, and early to rise. You are currently sleeping from 7pm-6am.

You continue to love your bathtime, and it's my favorite time of day by far, to see you love it all so much.

You like veggies a lot, specifically sweet potatoes, corn, carrots, and peas. You LOVE your morning cereal, especially if it is rice cereal mixed with bananas, apples, and pears. You definitely *heart* bananas.

You weigh in right around twenty one pounds, and you are moving into 12 month clothes. You have your first tooth coming in, your hair is a bright red, your eyes are blue some days, grey other days, and sometimes have a hint of brown. Your curls are coming in beautifully.

Each night I rock you to sleep, and I can’t believe God blessed me with you. I tell you over and over again what an amazing gift you were to me and your dad, how special you are, and how you grew in our hearts before you grew in my tummy.

Happy 7 months, Sweet T.
You rock my world.
Love,
Mom
