My little Evan, your two lines on a stick took me by surprise, to put it mildly. I cried in the doctor’s office when, at 16 weeks, there was no doubt that you were all boy. I spent every moment of my pregnancy terrified that we were having a third child so quickly.
And then you arrived. Painlessly and easily, and that was that. You won me over in an instant. Since this blog is serving as your baby book, here are a few tidbits I want to remember about you at seven months old:
Your favorite food, oddly, is salmon. You are sitting up and thisclose to crawling. You are clapping your hands and your giggle is just the sweetest sound in the world. You put everything in your mouth and drool constantly. When you are sleepy, you grab on to my face with a fierce intensity that is sweet, irritating and painful all at once. I finally moved you to your crib this week and despite knowing it’s the right thing to do, I miss having you next to me. You are more attached to me at this age than either your brother or sister were, and although it’s annoying at times, I can’t help but love it.
I know how fleeting this time is. You are in such a hurry to keep up with Lily and Ben, and soon you’ll be joining in their games and mischief. And that will be fun too. But I love this time now, when your needs are so simple and easily met. And I’ll never be able to say I didn’t enjoy every moment.

My little girl has totally outgrown the baby phase and I really really miss it. It’s great having no more nappies, or high chairs etc, but it is such a gorgeous age and you are so right to record it all on your blog.
He sounds precious! How are you feeding him salmon? Our Bri is ten months old and thisclose to walking. She skipped crawling. They grow up so fast!
Those cheeks are just ridiculous…how do you deal with not pinching him black and blue?
That child is just beautiful – in every way.
The twins were six months on Friday and I still can’t bring myself to move them to cribs. They are firmly planted in the co-sleeper…right next to Mommy.
I love this age. Your little pumpkin is just too sweet.
Salmon?!
Maybe at least he’ll end up eating “adult dinners” with you and Jeff….
He has much better taste in food than the big kids. It’s bizarre.
City– I’ll just feed him bits of baked or grilled salmon. He just can’t get enough!
And Noble- I actually gave him a hickey from kissing his neck so hard and often :)
This post is so precious.
Too cute that he loves salmon…that is pretty upscale for a little one!
I love the chunk!!! The 3rd ones do seem the easiest going don’t they?! They probably don’t have much choice in the matter!
This is oh-too-sweet!
How precious :) Angel still sleeps with me at 8 months. I cant bear the thought of not having her next to me. She’ll move when she’s ready.
So cute! He looks like a little man. You can see the joy in his eyes. :)
He is the sweetest! And the boy has good taste. If we could just get past fruit snacks and chicken nuggets here ;)
***blush*** you totally made my day about the blogroll!
Pass the tissues please. He is so beautiful.
