Southern Belle of the West: Lawson at 7 Months!

Well, he couldn't get much cuter! I'm loving this new stage of giggling and cooing. Lawson has such a personality if you can't tell from these photos. Our healthy boy is currently 21 pounds and 28" long :) He is fitting more into 9-12 months and 12 month clothes!

He can now fully sit and play on his own in his play pen which he loves because I have it loaded to the gills with toys and mommy loves because she can get some work done. His new favorite thing to do is to play with paper, any kind of paper, paper towels, newspaper, mommy's magazine papers. Basically anything that makes cool noise when you crumple it, he thinks is the greatest thing ever.

He has also started to stand with help and yesterday when we were getting his passport actually pulled himself up on one of the waiting chairs all by himself - nothing like the USPS waiting room for such a milestone memory, haha! He hasn't started to crawl yet and honestly shows no interest in it at all, he just wants to stand and walk, so I'm thinking he might be one of those babies that skips crawling altogether and goes straight to walking, but we shall see. I still need to get prepared for either!!!

Lawson's favorite foods right now are peaches, yogurt and oatmeal, he also likes pumpkin as long as it is paired with one of those other foods. We have finally caught up with the bakery schedule now and things are going better with that, so that's good. We look forward to our weekends when we get to try to relax and spend family time together with daddy and watch lots of football! Getting excited for it to cool down and start feeling like fall, I've already been making pumpkin everything, I need to blog some of those recipes next :)

Here are some photos of Lawson from over the past month...
