7 Months Old!

Dear Elliott,

You seem to have gotten so very grown up these past two months. Your beautiful Auntie Joanna inspired you to roll again from your tummy to your back last month, and you haven't stopped since!Also last month your Granny and Aunts minded you all day while your Dad and I were at a wedding. Our amazing friends, Phil and Katie, got married and it was so lovely to celebrate with them knowing you were in safe hands and having a ball. Those 12 hours were the longest I have EVER spent away from you. Initially it was really tough. Much tougher than I thought it would be. But I stuck with it and kept reminding myself that you were having a great time so I might as well enjoy the day too.

Last month you started blowing raspberries and are singing your cute little la la songs more than ever. We started spoon feeding you and introduced you to lots of yummy foods when you were five and a half months old. So far you've had baby rice, sweet potato, pear, carrot, apple, butternut squash, broccoli, banana, courgette and more other foods than I can remember right now! I think your favourite is sweet potato and pear, not together though! And you make gorgeous yuck faces when I give you courgette, this makes me laugh!

You've also started grabbing EVERYTHING you can reach! Having you sit on our laps at the table is proving super difficult now.You may have even eaten a fistful of grass yesterday as a result of this new found skill..mommy fail. You got your very own high chair last week (thanks to some great friends) and are loving it! Now if you could just master not dropping your books and toys off it you'd be doing great..

Your little personality seems to be shining through more every day. You are one of the most laid back people I know. You love to chill out with your toys on your play mat and watch the world go by. You love the outdoors and our evening walks before bedtime. You love cuddles and you seem to love us too. We are amazed by you Elliott. Hanging out with you is so much fun. When you meet people initially you are quite shy but once you have them sussed you're happy to be yourself. You make us laugh with your goofy faces and beautiful songs.

We love you Elliott James. Keep being you,

Love Mama x
