Westley is 7 Months Old!

Yes. My little guy is 7 months old and has two little teef.

Does every mother look at their baby and think to their self, "I must have made the most adorable sweet baby ever in the entire world."?

Today we went on a chilly 2 mile jaunt around the park and halfway through my bundled up babe fell asleep and I couldn't stop staring at his angelic face. Only his button nose, flushed cheeks and rosebud lips peeked out from all the layers I swathed him in. He looked like a wintry baby cherub.

We also went shopping for Christmas presents today. Just Westley and I. Every person we came across smiled at him and said things like "What a good little shopping buddy!" and "He is so calm! Is he always like this?" To which I would say "I know! Yes he is just wondeful."

We drove home with Christmas music playing while he dozed snug in his car seat and I soaked it in because it was moment I dreamed of and hoped for. Just driving in the dark with my healthy babe and Jingle Bell Rock playing.

What I am seeing more and more in Westley is that he is a lot like his Daddy. Easygoing, sweet, more of a listener than a talker. He is looking more and more like his Daddy too. Haaaandsome.
