Seven months old!

It seems like time is on fast-forward lately! Somehow seven months have passed since Josiah was born but I don't see how that's possible since it seems like yesterday! He is continuing to perfect his sitting skills and can now "roll" down from sitting onto his back/belly. He still isn't crazy about being on his belly so no real progress in the way of crawling yet. He will straighten out his arms and hold his upper body up for a few minutes but then decides it's a lot of work and rolls to his back:-) Ah well, it will come soon enough and then we'll be missing the days when he wasn't mobile, right?! He has really found his voice in the past few weeks and his favorite sound is still the ear-piercing scream but he has also added some really sweet babbling to the mix. As of Sunday, he continually says "da da da da da" He doesn't understand what it means but does know that it makes us smile and will repeat it when we say it to him. He is starting to get "pat-a-cake" also, he did it for the first time yesterday for Grammy Cindy! He is really enjoying his daily "big boy" meal of cereal with fruit/veggie mixed in. He tried apple blueberry this week and LOVES it! We will be revisiting the green veggies later in the week, hopefully that will go better than the first time when he gagged on them:-) The other big news this month is that Josiah will have a new cousin!! I will post later with details and hopefully a picture or two! Here are a few pictures from the monthly photo session with Josiah (maybe Carhart needs a new spokesbaby??):
