My Baby is 7 Months Old!

It's funny to think that 7 months ago today I was finally a mommy after waiting [im]patiently for 9 months. I was in active labor at the hospital for 12 hours then had to push for 2 more until my little man was born at 3:02 am, March 27 2010.

Evan was 7 lbs 6 oz and 20.5" long. He was so strong even then. That day and the next day, he amazed us all by lifting his head up off my shoulder a number of times. Looking at him now, playing in his high chair, it's crazy to think that he was so tiny. He's a big boy now.

He really is the light of my life. I'm so lucky. He's almost always smiling and happy, he laughs when we play, he will snuggle and be cozy, he makes happy sounds often...he's just pretty much the perfect baby.

I absolutely adore my little Bear. Chris and I did a pretty damn good job, if I do say so myself.

Being his mommy is a dream come true.

I love you Evan.

Love always,

Mommy

Better Late Than Never!

I've thought about starting a blog for/about Evan for a while and never got around to it. Well, I finally decided to get it done. He's grown and changed so much so fast it amazes me.

He's 4 days away from turning 7 months old and it's crazy. I can't believe he's so big. He sits up so well on his own now and is so close to crawling. It won't be long and he'll be zooming all over the place.

He's such an incredibly happy baby. Always smiling. It's just the best thing in the world. He has the cutest little laugh and it seems like it always surprises him when he giggles. I love it.

I never knew being a mom would be so fun and rewarding. I was so excited when I found out that I was finally pregnant. We had been trying for a little while and it was getting to be a little discouraging. It's so fun to watch him grow and learn new things every day. He loves to chew on everything and wave things around.

I just adore watching him and being with him. He makes my life so much better just by being in it.

I love my little Bear.  =]
