Our little booboo.
These past seven months have gone by lightning fast (time slow down!), you have grown so much + your personality is really shining through. And I love it! You’re the coolest dude I have ever met.
You have grown so much in the last month + your daddy and I have never been more proud! You sit up unassisted, say MAMA and DADA (and for the record, “Dada” was your first word + you often say it when you’re happy and want to play; you say “mama” when you’re tired or teething), you enjoy a few solid foods (we’re still unsure of sweet potatoe but we’re interested in pears, kale, and peas!) and you are on the verge of crawling! You giggle 24/7 and are incredibly chatty (like your mama!), and you are so aware and a wonderful observer (like your daddy!).
You are still rocking size 3 diapers but I think your tushie is almost ready for size 4. You’ve been wearing size 6 months clothes but I think size 9 months is on the horizon. Literally, your big toe was sticking out of one of your sleepers the other day + it was hilarious.
You have your bottom two teeth + your top front teeth are coming in; the top right tooth has finally cut through. I’m really hoping the left one pops much smoother + quicker than the right one as we’ve had a very long three weeks of crazy sleep + some uncomfy days and nights. And oh my goodness, your little teeth are sooooo cute (and sharp! we’re still working on the biting; it is happening less but when it happens, holy moly, you’re a strong boy!).
I am still nursing you on demand and you bedshare with mommy + daddy. I love that I go to bed and wake up next to you. I also really love that I get lots of sleep this way. Oh, and when you yell “DADA” at 6am most mornings + you wake your daddy up and get to smile and giggle with him before he goes to work. Ugh, these are the days. Heart explosions.
And I can’t narrow down just one picture because, holy moly, this boy gets cuter + cuter! Just when I think it’s not possible, BOOM! Cutest! #sorrynotsorry / #yourewelcome
You, my sweet booboo, love: nursing (soooo flipping much and mama loves it too!), eating solid foods + sitting at the table, giggling, cuddling, having your picture taken, bath time with daddy, the occasional paw patrol episode, trying to eat mommy and daddy’s cellphones, story time with mommy (chewing on the books is your favourite!), walks in the stroller, naps on mommy, and kisses. Oh, and you’re absolutely obsessed with the cat. Like, super obsessed + you flap your arms with excitement when he’s around. It’s the best.
You, my darling chubba chub, do not love: being overtired (who does?) and napping solo. Oh, and long car rides.
I say it every month + I am certain I will keep saying it, but time is going much too quickly. I try my hardest to savour + cherish every moment we have together because there is no one in the world who looks at me like you do. And no one who cuddles me like you do. And no one in this big ol’ world quite like you.
I love you George Bear. Keep on rocking it outtttttt my boy! Daddy and I are so proud of you.
XO
PS. This hilarious outtake that I just have to share because it slays me.
