7 Months

Dear Ezra,
Just when I thought your smile couldn't get any cuter, your two bottom teeth popped up!  After months of drooling, chewing, and fussy minutes, your little tusks practically appeared over night.  You enjoy rubbing your tongue over the top of your teeth, but thankfully haven't figured out the power of your bite... Your mouth is a steel trap when a spoon makes its way to you (unless it has yogurt on it).  Most of your food ends up either on your cheeks, shirt, or spit in my face. While I know it is only a matter of time until I can hardly keep up with your food wishes, for now you have your momma a little perturbed with all of the food we are wasting! The little bit of food you are digesting has really messed with your bowels.  Your daily poop has now turned in to a weekly poop!  This means you have pretty rancid gas for a week and an extremely loaded diaper on Fridays. I'm not complaining about changing one poop a week, I just get worried that you are backed up! Now that the weather is nice, you like to go on walks and runs in the stroller.  You are always wide awake and interested on these adventures.  I hate that we can't look at each other during our strolls, so I often pull over and love to look at your wide eyes mid walk or run.  You can sit up all by yourself now!  It is fun to watch you sit and explore. When you investigate your toys your face is the cutest!  Your chin is doubled, eyes crossed, lips pursed, and most often drool is dripping from your mouth- it is the most precious face. One of your favorite toys to investigate are your socks, especially in the car.  Thankfully the weather is getting warmer because your socks end up soaked with slobber and your toes go bare.  You love new faces, can't get enough of your cousins, go ga ga for your grandparents, and are always excited when Dad gets home.  But, you are a Momma's boy through and through, and I'm not complaining!  Love you forever, 

Mom
