Dear Asher: 7 Months

Dear Asher,

Happy seven month birthday! A lot has happened this month. You've gotten two more teeth and you started to roll! Poor you though; all of these changes must have been hard for you because you were a lot more unsettled than usual. You still had plenty of smiles to give though.

Not only are you rolling, but you're also up on all fours and "scooping." You can move backwards a little bit, but still haven't figured out how to go forward. And, you can stand while holding on to furniture. Any day now though you'll be on the move.

I love your big, slobbery kisses. You reach for my face with both of your little hands and plant one right on me. I hate to admit it, but I kind of like the fact that you save these for me. You're very stingy with kisses for anyone else. Sorry daddy.

We are experimenting even more with food now. You're still not really eating a ton, but you love trying new foods. At this point we give you whatever we have--including pickled ginger and lentil stew. You do so well with new flavors and textures. Your sister is even getting into the act. She loves feeding you Cheerios.

We love you and can't wait to see what the next month brings--including a hair cut, probably! Happy 7 months Asher!
