Blur.

Seven months, gone in a flash! I'm taking the advice given by all accomplished mothers and clinging to all the baby-love before it slips away forever. It really is going by so fast!

Leo is Seven months old now and crawling everywhere. The day after he started really crawling he began climbing as well, now he is just beginning to cruise furniture. He has four teeth, the last of which finally emerged fully this morning. He has said "mama" and "da-da". He is very funny, happy baby. He understands the command "no biting", though often cannot resist. His current favorite word (and nickname) is: Bacons. If you say it to him, he'll giggle like a goofball. Leo LOVES his brother, and Uly seems to love Bacons a lot, too. He's especially excited to teach him how to pillow fight and wrestle.

Uly is currently totally obsessed with signs of any and all kinds. You can't imagine what the walls in our house look like. Every available square foot is plastered with homeade and store-bought signs of every conceivable variety. We have no-smoking signs, bathroom signs, signs telling you how to get to Asheville and Chattanooga, Don't Go This Way, Don't Go That Way, No Tresspassing, and well, the creme d'la creme: CAUTION: WET FLOOR. Oh yes, we spent 10 minutes in Food City this morning coveting the Caution Wet Floor cone. I think this is going to teach him how to read, seriously.

Uly is also very funny, though usually it's because he is so serious. Earlier in the week he tried to convince me to buy him a half sweet/half un-sweet ice tea (like daddy gets) and I told him it was a grown-up drink because it had caffine in it and that caffine can make a person a little weird. Uly declared that he "would like to be a little weird." Touche.

The other really fun Uly stuff goings on are song lyrics. "go to sleep little boy-boy, go to sleep little boy-boy, candy red shoes on, me, mo, butter-butt boy-king".

If you know what song this is and the real lyrics I'll buy you an ice cream cone.

Let's see, what else? I know I'm missing about four months worth of updates but wow, I almost don't want to document it. I want to savor it and enjoy every minute as it goes by. My boys are good people, all three of them (had to include Gavin!). Looking forward to updating with more pictures!!!
