George 7 months

Mr. George, you are getting more and more fun every day. You are so pleasant and chill, even if we miss a nap or delay a feeding while we are out and about.

The evenings are hard, I won't sugar coat it, you often need a lot of bouncing/nursing/more bouncing to get to sleep and then you don't stay asleep for long. I remember Charlie doing the same thing at this age- waking every 45 minutes or so in the evening. It is rough. I predict some sleep training in our future. Despite that one thing, you are a dreamy baby. You take nice long naps in the daytime and are content and happy almost all of the time.

You officially sitting up! You can sit for several minutes without toppling over, unless you start reaching for a toy and then it's all over.

You wave hello and goodbye and say, "Hi" when someone walks in the room or starts talking to you. It's so incredibly darling.

You survived a day away from me (with one nursing break around 1 pm). I was a delegate at the county convention and Dad took care of you and Charlie all day and did a great job! He even parked the car downtown and shlepped you both over to the Salt Palace with only a single stroller for you and Charlie on his shoulders. He found me in the crazy convention hall with thousands of people and I nursed you at one of the candidates' booths (who was a friend of mine, thanks Snelgroves!) It was a fun break for me to do some community service, be involved, and reconnect with a lot of my former political connections- thanks for being so good for Daddy.

This baby loves to eat and be naked (who doesn't?)

You love apples. I love those chubby hands. 

Hmm, do you think you've outgrown this bouncy seat yet?

Hi, handsome baby

Fake cry but still a cute baby

You decided to like pacifiers all of a sudden! What? Some babies wean from binkies at this age! So far, you don't seem to want them when you are sleeping or crying so it's not that helpful but maybe you'll get more into them.

Your hair is getting long enough to start to curl! Your hair is so thick and handsome. 

Starting to read binary code already ;)

You experienced sitting on the grass for the first time and it definitely gave you pause. You were trying to reach a toy in front of you and every time you touched the grass, you stopped and retreated and then thought about it for a minute. You did it over and over again- not ever crying or getting frustrated but seeming very perplexed by that poky grass every time.

This face cracks me up. You are studying that grass so intently!

You are our sweet Georgie pie, Geo, Jorge, baby brother! We love you!
