7 Months

As of yesterday, Jase is officially 7 months old.  What the heck?!  How did that happen?!  He is getting so big, and changing in so many ways.  I can't believe how fast it all happens.  But it's been forever since I posted, and I thought the many people who love him might want to know a few things about my baby boy, and how awesome he is.

• He dislikes carrots with a fiery passion.  Don't even try to hide them in his other foods.  He will find out, and he will not be happy.
• Other than the dreaded carrots, he loves food.  Any kind of food.  And if you feed him, you will be his best friend (for as long as you are feeding him).
• He has an intense hatred for being on his stomach.  I believe this is why he isn't crawling.  He'd rather sit up than lie down.
• He has already started pulling up on random pieces of furniture.  So far, he's only pulled himself up onto his knees, but that's enough to make his mama extremely nervous. 
• If you let him hold onto your fingers, he will pull himself up to standing, and then he will start walking.
• He has a huge desire to be moving, but can't quite get there yet.  He can turn in circles while he is sitting on his bum, and he can use his knees to scoot along on the floor (sometimes) but he hasn't figured out a good, consistent way to get where he wants to go.
• He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney Channel.  
• His giggle makes everyone else giggle.
• He no longer needs to be swaddled at night, and for the most part is a fantastic sleeper.  He takes great naps and falls asleep all on hi sown.
• He gives awesome little hugs and kisses.
• He is most definitely a mama's boy.
• He has 2 teeth.   And teething kind of sucks.
• He is his mama's best friend, and is loved fiercely by everyone who knows him.

So far this summer has been awesome.  We went on our first vacation as a family to St. George for the eclipse in May, and Jase absolutely loved spending time in the pool.  We have so much planned, and hopefully I will stop being a slacker and update more often so everyone can hear about what we've done.  We want to take him to the zoo, to Wheeler Farm, swimming, and on at least one more mini-vacation before the summer is over.  I plan on taking at least some pictures, probably nowhere near what I would like to take, but better than nothing. 

And because he is so fantastically adorable, here is a picture of my little guy:
