Graham is 7 Months old!

So we hit another little milestone in the first year of Graham's life. He turns seven months old today. It is hard to believe our little guy has changed so much in such a short amount of time. He has two more teeth coming in. This time they are on top. He is becoming so curious about EVERYTHING! He is picking up his bottle and putting it in his mouth. He can roll over and this is his favorite mode of transportation right now. He is trying so hard to crawl but right now mainly just rocks back and forth and scoots a bit. I'm not in hurry to see him take off just yet. He is sitting up on his own which means he can play independently a bit...like 3 minutes at a time:) . It seems like the stages are going too fast. Faster than I can keep up with.

Taken today...Seven Months Exactly!

 BTW...he's looking at his daddy in this pic below...

Sitting up...

all by himself!

I promise those are prunes on his face, not chocolate, Dria!

We've had a great month with a trip to New York, being with family and just routine life. We also discovered the hard way that Graham can't have mangoes yet. He got a terrible rash from them but he is doing great now.

Some videos of that amazing laugh...

Prayers for our little Graham this month would be that he would know Jesus and walk with him every day of his life. That he would be a leader with a humble spirit. Prayers for us parents...that we would have patience and wisdom in how to care for our growing, curious little guy.

Bethany took some shots of us on our trip to New York. Here's a sneak peak. Thanks so much, Bethany. I'll share more of them in another post.

Oh...here are 2 pics of me around this age. He definitely looks like me at this age!
