Dear Cricket,
Wow, just like that you are seven months old! How did that happen? Happy 7 month birthday! In case I haven't told you in the last thirty seconds, I love you SO much! You are the exclamation point in our sentences and the bounce in our steps. Your dad and I simply adore you to pieces!
Your personality blossoms more and more each month. You continue to be such a happy baby. You still love standing up while we hold your hands and you can officially sit up all by yourself now. You are very excited about this new skill, as well you should be! In other milestones you have started to say "da-da" A LOT! It is so darn cute. I feel like all of these happened in a matter of days. It is so exciting and so much fun!
You still enjoy you mama's milk, fruit, veggies and just today got your first taste of yogurt. That big smile tells me you wholeheartedly approve! You are so curious these days. You can finally sit in a shopping cart and are having a blast looking around at the grocery store.
Last week, we took a trip to Fresh Market where you sat in a cart for the first time. You were so excited, smiling and waving your arms around. I was so proud of you! We had lots of fun picking out treats for our lunch date with Marlene. Nice people said hi to you and waved, which made your day. We have so much fun together, little Cricket!
We caught you mid cough, cutie pie!
"Who me?"
Fall is on it's way. Your dad and I love the Autumn season and are so excited to share it with you. Pumpkins, apples, crisp leaves - we have a lot to share with you! You were in an especially good mood when we took these pictures. I like to think you were overjoyed with the perfect weather, fall leaves and soft grass. We hope you enjoy the outdoors as much as we do!
You are such a joy, Cricket! Our days are full and meaningful with you in it. You are teaching us to treasure simple pleasures and live each day to the fullest. These truly are the best days of our lives thus far. We thank God for you each and every day.
We love you to the moon and back!
xoxo, Mama

Every milestone in Cricket's life is such a joy...but don't you wish you could stop time for just a bit to savor every minute?? You and Mr. are so blessed to have such a precious little girl to make each day even MORE special! Give her a hug for me....
ReplyDeleteOh, Diane you are SO right! This month especially I have just wanted to stop the clock and soak up every wonderful minute with Cricket. She is so vibrant and delightful. The days go by much too fast. She will get an extra big hug just from you! xoxo
