Click here to check out Kirby's 7 month pictures and milestones. Like I said, very different kiddos. Yet they look so much the same. When CR and I were laughing (and a little bit crying) while reading Kirby's 7 month post last night, he said "That's Patton with a bow!" Go remind yourself how cute she was ... well, is.
At 7 months Patton
- is scooting backwards and sideways
- gets up on all 4s and rocks
- has 2 bottom teeth and 2 top teeth are trying to make their way in
- eats mangoes, papaya, cereal, Granny's homemade yogurt, zucchini, carrots, apples, avocados and wholly guacamole
- understands "more", "eat", and "sleep", but only attempts to do "sleep" - he actually did the sign on me this morning before I laid him down for his nap!
- weighs roughly 20 lbs
- wears 6-9 and 9-12 month clothes
- laughs hysterically at himself in the mirror, his sister, and his parents
- smiles all the time
- babbles a ton.
- naps about 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon; sleeps 12 hours or more each night.
- content most of the time; very easygoing
Patton Luke is a joy. Yesterday before I laid him down for bed at night I got all choked up while I was praying for him. You see, I have always wanted a boy. I love Kirby and I am so thankful I have a daughter. Being from a house of girls, and only one boy cousin on my dad's side, I longed to have a boy. I prayed all the time for a boy, before I was even married. I would be perfectly content with a house full of boys along with Kirby and I. CR gets nervous when I pray for a "quiver full of boys" ... but that's my heart. There is just something about boys and their mommas. I already see it with Patton. It is a special bond. Kirby and I for sure have a bond, but it is different. Already at almost 3 and at 7 months I can see that. Not one that is better than the other, just different. And that is the way God intended it.
"Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:5a
