7 Months Old and Baby Dedication

Jensen at 7 Months Old

Hey little man! You are a {mostly} happy seven month old baby. We did a weight check for you the other day and you weighed in at a ginormous 22 pounds! I love every single squishy baby part of you.

These are actually your official 6 month photos, but I never got around to posting them! You have become awesome at sitting up this month! No crawling yet, but you do scoot backwards and around in a circle. You can roll over but you don't like to roll as much as Eva did. You are quite happy to sit on the ground with a basket of toys to explore. 

That face. It gets me every time. This month you kept doing what you do best - eating! Lots of fruits and veggies, along with some yogurt, oatmeal, quinoa, and scrambled eggs. With all that food you nurse slightly less but probably at least 5-6 times a day. The one not so fun change in you this month is that you STOPPED sleeping through the night. What happened, little man? At first it seemed like teething {although we've yet to see any teeth}, then a cold, and now.....????? You've been sleeping through the night since you were 8 weeks old so this has been quite the unwelcomed change.

Some of your favorite things to do this past month have included splashing naked in our backyard kiddie pool, taking baths in the big tub, and riding in your new big boy car seat! 

Last Sunday we had your  baby dedication at Bara Church. You were the cutest little ham up on stage, trying to take the microphone from Daddy. 

We prayed over and for you. We love you tons, Jensen Bruce, and pray that you will grow up into a man of faith who loves Jesus and leads others to Him. 

All of your family was there to pray for you too - Mamy, Baba, Nana, Papa, Uncle Greg, Aunt Melody, Kiersi, Kayden, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Brian, Mallory, Great Aunt Janice, Dede, Great Grandpa Hank, and Uncle Peter! And that's just a handful of the people who love you and have already been praying for you in your 7 months of life. I wish we had thought to get a big family photo. We were just too busy being excited for you! I do like this one of you and Dede. Yeah, you are just as chubby as you look in this photo, don't blame the camera for that one.

With Great Grandpa Hank. Here is your great grandpa at 95 years old. He loves the Lord so much and I hope you grow up to be as wonderful as he is. 

Ah! I couldn't choose because both of these photos are precious. You loved giving him hugs. Happy 7 months Jensen! Here is to better nights of sleep, more baby giggles, and lots of love!

love, Mama
