Whit's First Fourth of July

If this doesn't stir your sense of American pride, I don't know what will! Whit may have been a little too busy playing with his holiday gear to look at the camera, you still can see that he was feeling VERY patriotic on the 4th. Thanks to Nana and Papa for the perfect photo op!

Seven Months Old

Whit was seven months old on the 3rd. Here is a picture of him celebrating! These days he's also busy cutting his third tooth. The top left tooth is coming through now. And we did our at-home (and not entirely accurate) method of weighing him a few nights ago, and it said that he was 20.2 lbs! Hard to believe. He's certainly growing fast.

Whit had a huge time staying with his Nana and Papa last week. They did a great job of taking lots of pictures, but this is one is my favorite. Not only did Papa let Whit have the sports page first, he even gets to use the razorback mug for his coffee! ;) He looks like he's loving his new morning ritual.




Speaking of things that Whit loves, his new favorite things are graham crackers. Dr. Lucas told us that they were a good food for him to try feeding himself. He was right and Whit loves them. They still make a pretty big mess for now, but it's totally worth it.

He still loves his jumperoo...

He's also getting a lot better at his crawling. He isn't all over the house quite yet, but he's getting close. He gets stronger and more mobile everyday. He now crawls forward and then sits up from the crawling position. He tries pulling up, and he's a great independent sitter now. It's amazing watching him learn new things all the time.

Climbing and lovin' on his Papa...

He still hasn't been the biggest fan of bath time. While he was at my parents' house, Nana figured out that he enjoyed a sink bath! I guess he is self-censoring the picture. :) Thanks for the discovery, Nana!

It was pretty clear that he had a great time during his stay!
