What Hardy Likes: Hardy loves Peek-A-Boo!

He will start laughing so hard sometimes

that he has to catch his breath. You can

play this game over and over, and he

just keeps laughing. It's adorable!

What Hardy Dislikes:

Waiting on his food to be made.

Hardy can be quite the impatient fellow

when he is hungry. He wants to eat and eat now!

Best Moment of the Month: Hardy's First Christmas!

What a special day! I loved all his different

facial expressions as we showed him his new toys.

7 Month Highlights:

You have become incredibly active in your crib.

You roll from one end to the other. Rolling

has definitely become your mode of transportation.

You slept on your tummy for the first

time on December 14th. You often sleep

on your tummy with your little booty up and

your feet tucked underneath.

It is so cute, and I have taken tons of pictures

of you sleeping.

You have developed a fond affection for you lovey

whom we have named Bobo the Hippo. You sleep

with Bobo every night now and snuggle up with him.

You have become a social butterfly. You are

very aware of other people in public, and you

will blow bubbles and grin to get their attention.

You started eating bananas and sweet

potatoes this month, and you are a fan of both.

You sometimes get teased and it is so precious.

You will give a big grin and then hide

your sweet face in my shoulder.

You have started to reach for us

and put up your arms when

you want to be picked up.

You always play with your foot when

I am feeding your bottle to you. Those little

toes are still fascinating to you today.

You are becoming more independent,

and sometimes you try to

hold the bottle yourself.

After I feed you at bedtime and lay you

in your crib, you poke out your tummy

and do a big stretch. I think it's a sign

of complete satisfaction.

Your biggest accomplishment this month

was you learned to wave! You waved for

the first time on December 29th as were

leaving CC and Papaw's house. When you

waved on command for Dr. Sanford he was so

impressed and we sure were proud parents!
