Seven Months Old

(It's getting more and more difficult to get this little man to sit still for a picture!)

To be honest, this was the roughest month we've had. Starting with our trip to Colorado - he had some major sleep regression. He still has never slept through the night, but he would wake up screaming in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. Naps were also hit and miss - it has been exhausting, but I think we are finally having some "normal" days. 

What we did together this month

-Spent a week in Colorado for my family's vacation.
-Went to the lake house with the Bertram's and Nolen's
-Celebrated the 4th of July with Honey and Papa visiting.
-Lots of swimming
