Being Becnel: 7 Months

Oh My Natty!

It seems like every time I turn around I am writing another blog entry because you are another month older! I call you a big girl at least once a day.....even though I know you are still a baby! You are sitting up by yourself, pulling up on your bed and anything/anyone else that will let you! I am just going to go ahead and say you are crawling because I think you move faster on your belly! You look like a little lizard but thats ok because you can get ANYWHERE you set your mind to.....and you usually do it with gusto and determination. You keep trying to stand up....I don't know if you are trying to copy Delaney who just stands up in the middle of the floor or what but its cute to see you make a teepee with your little butt! You are officially in the big bathtub now. You love the little rubber ducky who you try to consume each time you get a hold of him! You are constantly smiling and "talking" and smiling some more! You do really well in your pack and play or on the floor playing. You can even put yourself to sleep...which I thought would never happen!!!! I am starting to miss tiny baby days a little bit....not the sleeplessness and the screaming...but the little times when it was just you and me and you wanted me to hold you! I know that its all about independance and I don't want you hanging on my leg for the rest of your life BUT I know you will want me to hold you sometimes and I will just savor those moments then! OH and the cutest thing is that you are reaching for people! Even though I know its just so someone will lift you up so you can see....its still cute. Except at dinner the other night when I was trying to hurry up and finish and you kept holding your arms up to me with the pitiful little face :( . It broke my heart but it was ok because you lived!!!!Anyway I know things are just going to get better as you understand more and more. Hurry and grow up but stay little forever!

Love,

Mama

Sitting like a big girl!
