7 months old!

Drew is growing and changing so much! I feel like sometimes he goes through little surges of change and last month was one of them. It just seemed like all the sudden he was so much more aware and interested in everything. He's trying to grab everything and open things and explore anything he can get his hands on. At a little over 6 1/2 months he started rolling everywhere. He goes fast too...he'll roll from one side of the apartment to another in no time. I have to always have him in my sight now because if I don't he will bonk his head on the wall or our furniture when he rolls into it! He is also up on his hands and knees rocking and scooting backwards. He recently started getting really good at navigating his way around better. With the combination of rolling a scooting he can go around things and get to where he wants to be. He can roll in both directions so if he gets to a wall he rolls back the other way now. Drew has started trying to sit up on his own too. Every time I try to lay him down he puts hi elbows back and tries to sit back up. It's nearly impossible to change him these days with him trying to sit up and rolling and turning! Jared said it best when he said "it's like trying to put a diaper on a little hog"! He is also making lots more sounds and facial expressions and even talking in his sleep sometimes which is so adorable!! He loves to be held and be apart of whatever is going on. He never wants to be left out of anything. A friend of ours gave us a walker and I put him in it sometimes. Drew just loves it! We play a game where I push him to one side of the room and then go to the other and have him chase me...it's so cute to see how excited his face is when he's running across the room! He bangs into things on the way..it's so funny. I love this little guy so much and can't wait for his first Christmas!
