7 months old

Time is a thief.

Matheson is seven months old and that tiny baby we brought home from the hospital is now a 20lb/29" big boy.

Teething has been happening for awhile now, which means drooling and gnawing on everything. The tip of a bottom tooth is now visible (and super sharp!), but it has not come out yet.





I have been grateful that Matheson sleeps the entire night. He is in bed between 7-7:30pm and wakes between 6-6:30am. Some nights I need to go upstairs and do a binky rescue, but the last week, I haven't needed to as he will put himself back to sleep without a binky. Naps are still pretty consistent. Morning nap is 2 hours after he wakes up and afternoon nap is around lunch time. In the evening, around 5pm, I need to walk him around the block for a quiet siesta.

The noises this boy makes is something else. Matty growls and shrieks and babbles/whines all the time. He definitely makes his presence known. My mom used to tell me that you never knew there was a baby in the house because I was so quiet. NOT my son. hahaha

Matty sits and plays with toys... ALL the toys. There is freedom in the ability to put in a shopping cart and aimlessly shop at Target. He loves to be outside. We've had nice weather this Spring. Beautiful weather with no humidity. He and I will sit outside on a blanket or I will bring the activity center and PNP on the patio. Something about watching him look up at the wind blowing through the trees and bushes makes me smile. I tease Nick that this one is going to make him go camping. Ha!

Right now, I am getting ready to turn our study into a playroom for Matheson. His toys are starting to take over the living room giving me anxiety as I don't like stuff and clutter everywhere. I am excited to start painting and decorating the room!
