Seven Months...

My goodness we are already closer to his 1st birthday than we are to the day he was born. Wow! This last month has brought forth quite a few "firsts!" We got to hear his first word, "Dada." Andy was quite pleased and I was on a business trip, so not sure what to think about that! ha :) But it is really cute to hear him go on and on about his "Dada!" Next step is teaching him that Liddy, his food, his diaper, his crib, and every other thing he is calling "Dada" is really not his dad...we'll get there!

He's also about two seconds away from crawling (exciting and scary all wrapped up in one). He has figured out how to move his feet and knees, but can't quite coordinate moving his arms yet. We'll be putting up baby gates soon though I'm sure.

Adam has also had a great month experimenting with new foods. He's a big fan of pears, applesauce, bananas, squash and sweet potatoes. He could live without peas and green beans, but we continue to fool him into eating them. The last thing we want is a picky eater! (like his Aunt Kathleen) ;)

He's become very loving and cuddles up with us and is starting to reach for us, which I LOVE! On the downside, he's started to feel a little clingy and "strangers" are starting to bother him a bit, but we're not too concerned. After a few minutes, he warms up to whomever is trying to pay him attention.

He is so playful now and really gets into his toys. He is babbling up a storm and we have even seen some signs of dancing when he hears music---look out Greeley family, we may have a new addition to the dance floor! :)

To commemorate his 7 month birthday, we made a big cookie cake and had a little photo shoot with Uncle Mark.

Happy 7 months Adam--you continue to make our days! :)
