7 months


ok, prepare yourself for a butt load of pictures.
I think I have a problem.
I can't stop taking pictures of this guy.


Little man is 7 months old today.
 SO Crazy!!


He is sooo much fun and I LOVE that I get to hang out with him every day.


I got him weighed last week and he is only 15 pounds 7 ounces 
(and that's with clothes on).
10'th percentile.
So he's a small fry.
Hard to believe he came out at almost 10 pounds.
But all my baby's have been scrawny so I'm not too worried.


I started feeding him solids about a month ago.
He LOVES bananas, HATES squash (seriously, when I feed him that, he cries and will just hold it in his mouth - refusing to swallow). 
I've never had a picky 7 month old.


He loves his toes and whenever he's laying on his back he's chowin' down.


He's just starting to sit on his own, but still tumbles over sometimes.
As you can tell from his shirt,he's a drooler.
It's pretty much a constant stream coming from his mouth at all times. But I guess I should just be grateful he doesn't spit up  (he seriously NEVER does).
I'm still waiting for a tooth to pop through, but nothing yet.


He is such a happy baby and I am in love with his laugh.
Nothing better than a hearty baby laugh.
We took him to Nashville a few weeks ago
and he was a champ.
He was so good and was so much fun to have there.


He gets mauled pretty much 24/7.
Maysa thinks that she is now big enough to carry him around.
Yikes!


He is the most inconsistent sleeper I've had.
He'll sleep through the night for a few nights, 
and then he will want to nurse all night for a few nights.
I've tried everything to get him to be more consistent, but nothing makes a difference.
It's driving me bonkers!!
But I have to admit, I don't mind the extra snuggle time :)


Ever since he discovered his bottom lip, he sucks on it contantly.
It's so stinkin' adorable!









My goodness I love this kid!!

cattle drive



I know I've been pretty pathetic in the blogging department.
And I'm pretty sure no one reads this anymore.
Life with 5 kids and pinterest has proven to be somewhat busy :)

Anyways, so during Christmas holidays, we had to move some cattle closer to home to get ready for calving season.
The hubs likes to do that when the kids are off school-
it's like having 3 hired men in his own house :)
And the kids (and me) LOVE it!


I can hardly believe that these pictures were taken in January.
The weather has been down right freaky this year.
But I'm not complaining one single bit.


the hubs in action.
There's something about a man on a horse.
Mmmmmm.
Love it.
