Can it really be that our baby is 7 months old?! Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday were the days of walking around needing toothpicks to hold our eyelids up, trying to adjust to a new little man in our lives. Everyone always says that as each month passes it is their favorite stage...I must say that we completely agree with this! I absolutely love the stage that Edison is in now. He has started to consistently sleep through the night and it's no coincidence that it happened as we began feeding him solid food. He is so interactive now and loves to smile, play, and scoot around (which is only done in a backwards motion; soon enough he’ll figure out how to go forward!)
Some of my other Edison favorites are going in to get him from his crib after he wakes up in the morning or after naps. It doesn’t matter how short or long the nap is his reaction is the same every time- pure and utter joy to see your face! He lights up like he hasn’t seen you in weeks and it makes me smile and melt all at the same time. It’s by far one of my favorite parts of the day. He has also started to wave. Last weekend when we were up at my parents we started doing our jazz hands sign after he finished eating to indicate that he was “all done!” and all the sudden he started waving back! Of course, I was oblivious and Scott had to state aloud that this phenomenon was going on - does this sound awfully similar to me missing the first roll over? - and we got so excited that he kept on doing it! Nothing beats seeing your baby do something for the very first time. Even if it has to be stated aloud!! I can’t wait to see what the next month has in store. Here’s to hoping that Scott doesn’t always have to be the commentator on Edison’s moves and I’ll pick up the next big first on my own!

You should have at least one picture with his helmet on, it is part of his life
