7 Months Old and Growing So Fast!

I was thinking today that I cannot believe it has already been over 7 months since the day we welcomed Brendan into our family. I often replay that day in my mind, remembering the moment I saw his sweet face for the first time. It was love at first sight. My attachment to this little baby is incredible! I think Moms to one often wonder how they will ever love another child as much as their first. Well, I am here to tell you that you just find all this extra love inside you. When I am with my boys, my heart just wells up with love and joy and pride for these two amazing, beautiful kiddos that I get the great opportunity to raise. Talk about some major blessings! I wish he could just stay this little forever but I know B has to grow up. I often wonder what kind of toddler he will become. Brendan was the missing piece of our puzzle, the whipped cream on our banana split! I cannot imagine life without him and feel so blessed to have another baby in the house. Everything comes so much easier the second time around and we are enjoying watching him grow and develop. His little personality is just shining! He has been meeting all his milestones on time (ahhhh. HUGE sigh of relief!) and we think he is starting to put on some weight finally. We have a weight check in 3 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed!
At 7 months, Brendan:
-loves Mommy, mommy and some more mommy!
- is like a little koala bear...he is so into cuddling and hangs on so tight to me!
-goes to bed at 7:15pm and sleeps all night (with a wake up or two each night for his pacifier)
-adores his big brother and can't wait until he can take off after him.
- gives his biggest laughs to Daddy!
- likes swinging in the baby swing at the park.
- gets really excited about bath time and lets brother pour water all over him the whole time.
- is finally getting into baby food.
- pats my face while I am nursing him and tries to give kisses when you kiss him. SOOO sweet!
- doesn't seem close to crawling at all, but can stand up holding onto furniture and toys.
- is getting more hair and will be getting his first tooth this week (probably....it is ALMOST in!)
- gets a kick out of toys, especially his Taggies car from Nana and Granddaddy.
Here are a couple of pictures from today.
