The 7 month conversation

Mom:  James, you are 7 months old now.  How does it feel?
7 months? Pretty good I guess?

Mom:  Do you want to know your stats?
I don't know --- do I?

Mom:  Lets Start with your weight
17 pounds?

Mom:  Look a little closer
17 pounds and 6 ounces?

Mom:  Yes, you are getting big and strong.
Ohhhhh, I like Big and Strong
 Mom:  Let's do your height
 
 I'm nervous
 Mom:  Don't be nervous it doesn't hurt.
 
 Mom? 
Does it say what I think it says?



 .5 inches shorter???????
Mom: It is safe to say that all measurers of height are NOT the same. 
Whew - Thanks mom.


James measured 26.5 inches at his 6 month appointment and only 26 inches this time.  We didn't have an official measuring at the Dr's office so we aren't officially counting these stats...especially height.

James is getting better about being on his tummy - we aren't anywhere near crawling and I am fine with that.
He loves to give kisses
He loves to be held 
He loves to people watch
Church is getting really hard as far as napping goes
He eats any veggie we give him
He loves to touch other kids his size
He loves to taste/give big kisses to other kids his size
He loves it when dad comes home
He loves to jump
He makes so many funny noises
He gets REALLY focus on things that he is doing and if something doesn't go his way he gets REALLY frustrated and lets us know.  
He loves to go on walks
He loves to come home from walks
He is in nap transition - no fun
He wants to do whatever mom is doing.
He is sleeping 11-12 hours a night
He LOVES all things technology
He LOVES to taste all things technology 

Trying different things with the camera - that's why all the photos are different color variations.

That was probably the best blog post I've read all week. You are so creative. I LOVED all the pictures too! Wow. And to think, you loaded all those at once! ;) My favorite pics were the first (for lighting) and the big and strong one, oh and of course, the .5 inches shorter one. :)

I LOVE all the faces! What a cutie! How did you get him to sit still so you could capture all those faces? Everytime I get the camera out to capture something they either stop doing it or just try to get the camera so they're blurry and moving toward the camera in every picture.
