7 Months Old

Well seven months and one day, but who's counting? I hate to say it but so far my sweet boy's seventh month in this world hasn't started off to great. We were at the doctors office this morning with John Whitten after battling a high fever all day yesterday and last night. He has, yet again, another ear infection. This is his fourth one in three months! We are trying a different antibiotic, so hopefully it will help clear everything up. 

It is hard to believe that time is going by so quickly, and it seems like just yesterday I was writing his "six month" post. John Whitten is such an amazing blessing to our family and I cannot even begin to tell you how much he has enriched our lives. Here are a few little facts about my baby boy at seven months old:

-He laughs all of the time...he has a deep belly laugh like his Daddy.
-He still loves to nurse, and we have not started any baby food yet.
-He still has three teeth now, and two more that you can see under the gum. Poor guy is dealing with double ear infections and two teeth coming in, yet some how he is still smiling.
-John Whitten is quite the chunky little boy. He is in size 4 diapers and wearing 18 month clothes! 
-At the doctor today he weighed 22 lbs and 11 ounces! 
-He starts the night out in his crib and usually makes it until 1:00 or 2:00 before he comes into our bed. 
-Poor Shaun, John Whitten is still very much so a Mommy's boy but he is warming up to Shaun much more these days. 
-He loves to grab my hair and wrap it around his little hands. 
-He makes my heart melt....I cannot get over how much I love this little boy!
