7 Months

This month we continued our swimming lessons! Max is loving the water more and more every week. He loves floating on his back the most and has been know to fall asleep while floating. Only our little water bug would do this. It has also been helping him sleep at night, as it just runs every

ounce of energy out of him. We are continuing to try new foods and with all of the baby food Max is really packing on the pounds. He is up to 18 already! Getting so big so fast! I am starting to train for a half marathon so we are on the hunt for a new stroller so that Max can ride with me while i run. I am doing this with some girls from work, so i think i will be held accountable. Max is sitting up all on his own this month! He could do it some last month but he now has it mastered. It is a little scary to think that crawling and walking will be next. 

Fun things we did this month: 

- Started going running at least twice a week, most of the time 3 times a week. Both mom & dad are training for the shoreline classic! Brad is doing the 5k and i am doing the 15k (as training for the rock n roll half marathon in October)
-We went swimming
- We played with toys and Max got a new snail musical toy that he loved to play with.
-We have been outside more this month. We have been swimming, running, and working on the yard.

My must haves for moms:

- a good jogging stroller....we are on the hunt for one! I will post an update next month on what we choose.
- a good photographer! I have a nice camera and have done pictures for others but would rather not shoot my own child for his pictures. We have found an amazing photographer that we LOVE!!! She is about 2 hours away but i can not say enough good things about her! She is ahhhhhmazing to say the very least :) Unforgettable Photography by Anna
