7 Months Old!!!

My little peanut is already 7 months old! I cann't believe it! His whole life has really flown by, but the 6 to 7 month segment has gone by incredibly fast. It's amazed me how much he has changed, but I think he has changed the most from 6-7 months. We took a trip to Ohio to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and their cute girlies over the week he turned 6 months, and I have found that to be a real turning point for him. When we left for Ohio he was barely starting to sit up, when we got home he was sitting up like a pro. When we left for Ohio he was showing interest in moving and crawling, when we got back from Ohio he started moving ALL over the place! He would roll/army crawl/scoot/push with his feet and could get himself anywhere he wanted to be. When we left for Ohio he was starting to say a couple of sounds, now he's a big ol' talker! It's all going by too fast, slow down Blakey!

7 Month Blakey Interview:

Favorite Food: Apple Sauce! It goes into just about everything I eat! Mom and Dad have to buy me a giant jar a week!

Favorite Word: "Da Da" Mom is offended that I don't say "Ma Ma", but "Da Da" is so much fun to say! Sometimes she gets her feelings hurt because she thinks I like to talk about Dad and not her, but I'm not talking about Dad, it's just something I can say. Truthfully, it's Mom and I's little inside joke. I just learned how to whisper and Mom will look at me and whisper "Da Da" and I will whisper it back. I love it when we can communicate!

Favorite Passtime: Crawling around and destroying whatever I can get my little hands on. Especially anything that lights up or sparkles (everyone says I take after Mom that way). My other favorite thing to do is sit on Moms lap while she's doing her makeup and play with all her makeup in her caboodle! Playing with makeup sure is fun, but there is nothing more interesting than whatever Mom has in her hand and is trying to put on her face.

Favorite Toy: Trash, junk mail, and empty bags (don't worry, mom won't let me suffocate on bags). Mom and Dad keep trying to buy me toys, but I would rather play with trash. Especially Dad's brightly colored empty starburst jelly bean bag.

New Developments: I've learned to crawl!!! I've been pretty mobile for a month now, but I decided it was time that I started crawling. That way, I can get into anything I want and pull myself up on things! I haven't discovered the stairs yet, but Mom is scared that I'm going to soon.

I sure am cute and have the funniest personality in the world! I am very social and like to have people's attention, and I know how to get it! I can be REALLY loud when I want to. I'm not really a cryer, but I've got the high pitched squeel down to an art. I don't like to be left out. If anyone around me laughs, I stop what I'm doing and laugh too. I'm not sure what's funny, but I like people to think that I'm in on the joke! I keep Mom busy and entertained all day long, she can thank me for it later.
