Caleb at 7 Months

Our baby is already more than 7 months old!  He's closer to a one year old than to a newborn!  He likes to roll over (mostly to get out of the dreaded Tummy Time), sit (with a little help), stand while someone holds him, play with his feet, and squeal (and sometimes scream) when he's excited.  Each morning, we wake up wondering what new things Caleb will be able to do that day.  He's still trying to "talk" by making all kinds of interesting noises - everything from screaming to making juicy raspberries.  If you're around when he's attempting to engage in conversation, watch out - your ears are likely to ring and whatever was in his mouth (be it formula, food, spit, or spit-up) is probably now on your face and/or your shirt.  Typical boy!  And he will of course chew on everything he can get his hands on.  His favorite toy is the exersaucer, which he has pretty much mastered at this point.  He loves it when Mommy tickles him and when Daddy makes him "fly," and he responds to both with his infectious laugh.  The sweetest thing about him is still his precious smile.  Often I will be feeding him while also reading a book, when I realize that someone is staring at me as if to get my attention.  I'll look down and, with the bottle still in his mouth, Caleb will give me the biggest smile (with formula running down his chin, of course).  It's enough to melt this mom's heart...each and every time. 
Here he is playing with his feet and practicing for his first trip on a roller coaster (with his screams):
