We have a tooth.....and other exciting things.....

So this week Talent's tooth FINALLY broke through his gums! He isn't quite sure what to think of it and he keeps running his tongue over it. It's pretty funny to watch. He is just the cutest thing with that one little tooth poking through!

Also he's pulling up in his crib and standing in it on his very own! He walked from one end to the other today holding on to the side of the crib while he babbled to me. He's getting SO big! I just don't know what I'm going to do. Time is going by in a flash.

He's also learning that there are other babies in the world. He found a girl at church that he wanted to hold hands with. She's about 5 months younger than he is but he wanted to "hold her hand" at church Sunday. He reached out and touched her little hand so sweetly. Then later as we were sitting across the room from each other he kept smiling at Lily and she looked at him and batted her eyes and smiled back. It was the cutest thing ever. Lily's mom & I thought it was great. We are good friends and wouldn't mind our babies growing up & falling in love. 

Talent also got a new baby cousin this last week. On November 20th my baby brother had his first child, a son, Flynn Bazil. I'm not sure where they came up with Flynn but Bazil was our Pawpaw's name. Talent wasn't real sure what to think of Flynn so he pretty much just ignored him. I'm sure one of these days they will be good friends and and Rhyan (my sis in law) and I will be in big trouble.

Here are a few pics of Talent and then one of my new nephew, Flynn. I will try to update more often. With the Teething it has been a little hectic around here.

7 months and a big boy seat....

Today my baby is 7 months old. I still can't believe how fast this year seems to be flying by. It seems like just yesterday we were meeting him for the first time and now here we are watching him grow like crazy.

Talent is pulling up on anything and everything right now. He wants to walk so bad. He isn't interested in crawling at all. I am amazed at how strong he is. He grabs my shirt when we sit in the floor to play and he's able to pull himself to a standing position with NO help from me! Makes me so proud but so sad....he's getting big!

Today he got his big boy car seat. He is way too tall for the infant carrier we brought him home in 7 months ago so I ordered him a new seat and it arrived today. He loved it! He gets to sit up and he can see out the windows of the car. He just kept grinning while we drove to his grandparents house tonight. He was digging his new seat! Oh the exciting world of a 7 month old!

I am so happy to be a mom....have I mentioned that? Even with him Teething and waking up because his little mouth hurts....I love being his mom. It really is a joy I never expected. And I think Seth is enjoying being a daddy too. He's been really playing and snuggling with him lately. I think this parenting thing has been a blessing for us both.
