7 Months Down, 100 Years to Go

Today Stetzen turned 7 Months!  This little guy is turning out to be one active man.  He has the cutest way of getting around.  He'll arch his back and push with his feet so his head rubs against the carpet as he scoots.  This doesn't really help the bald patch of hair he's got on the back of his head.  And, if this doesn't seem to get him where he wants to go fast enough, he'll roll like a mad man.  I can set him down and in literally two seconds he's across the room playing with something he shouldn't.  I'm getting nervous for when he figures out the crawling thing because I don't think I'll be able to contain the little monster, lol.

Growth Stats:
Weight:  17 pounds
Height:  27 1/2 inches

As you can see, Stetzen has an emense love (which is highly understated!) for baths.  He can be the crankiest boy you ever saw, but if you stick him in the tub he's happy as can be.  It's actually quite nice.  The odd thing about it, is you don't even have to put water in it for him to love it.  Crazy kid!  He's gotten to the point now, where all he wants to do is splash the water, and if you lay him down to wash his hair or take him out, he gets really feisty!  I guess he should have been born with fins!  His dad calls him his little fish.

In April, my sister-in-law Rachel was hosting the monthly scrapbooking party so we went down a night early and stayed in a hotel.  When I booked the place online, it looked pretty good and was priced fairly low.  I now know to just stick with the pricier places, cuz I thought we might get mugged or something down there.  It was sketchy at best.  The pool wasn't the best, which was a bummer because that was the main reason we got a hotel.  I figured since Baby Ted LOVES baths, he'd absolutely love swimming.  Well, the whole affair was a little disappointing because he was a little indifferent to it.  I thought he'd have a lot more fun, but I think he was held back by all the distractions of everyone else swimming there.  But, it's hard to say either way.  We'll have to see what he thinks next time we go. 

Here's his official 7 Month photo!
