7 Months Old and Loving Life

I cannot believe that Ryland is already 7 months old. I feel like he is growing up so fast and he is definitely becoming his own little person with his own personality.

Below are a few things that he loves and is into right now ...

* He still loves his exersaucer! It is his favorite thing to play in every morning before he goes to school. And it is the first thing that he wants to do when he gets home from school in the afternoon.

* His JJ and MiMi brought him a jumper a few weeks ago and Ryland loves it. Right now we keep it in our bedroom or bathroom so that he can play with it while we are upstairs. It is so funny because he cannot stop jumping while he is in it, even if he is getting tired and wants out. He just keeps jumping and whining and laughing all at the same time.

* Codi cracks him up all the time :)

* He loves reaching for Bailey and grabbing a handful of fur. Surprisingly, Bailey is great with him. He just lets him pull on his fur and when he gets tired of it he just jumps down or walks away.

* Ryland is now drinking water out of a sippy cup. A lot of it still goes all over him but he definitely knows how to pick it up and put it in his mouth.

* He loves all remotes, cell phones and house phones (and pretty much anything else that he is not suppose to have). And he can grab it and have it in his mouth in a blink of an eye.

* He is a great eater and has loved everything that we have given him so far ... oatmeal, pears, apples, prunes, bananas, sweet potatoes, peas, avocado, peaches.

* We started giving him Gerber Puffs recently but he is not too sure about them yet.

* He can sit up, roll, scoot, crawl, lunge and pull up on his knees.

* And his smile can definitely make your heart melt :)
