My Campaign for a New Camera Starts Today

Today is Roman's 8mth birthday, and yes I wish I got to have a birthday every month too! Each month I celebrate our special day by taking pictures of Roman in the same chair with the same toy. What can I say, we really know how to party around here! I typically take a few extra shots for his album of our daily goings on...I thought I had a few award winning shots. I thought this because the screen on my camera told me so, however at closer inspection Gary Olsen would not approve! Check them out....feel free to e mail my husband and let him know that you agree. We obviously need a new camera...

I Keep Biggering and Biggering....

I haven't posted anything in FOREVER! I was thinking maybe the whole blog thing wasn't for me, but at a Memorial Day cookout I found myself professing my love of blogs. I thought it deserved another chance. SO, here are Roman's 7 mth birthday pics....and yes, your math is correct...Roman is now 8mths old, but I told you it had been FOREVER. I promise to post his 8mth photos soon!

At 7mths Roman is a great sitter. He is able to sit on the floor and play with his toys for a good while. I've loved this new ability! He can see a few more things and he just looks so darn cute doing it!

At 7mths Roman weighs in at about 21lbs. We didn't have a doctor's appointment this month, so I can't give you the percentile...but I can tell you he is a big boy! I can say that with authority because when I tell older women how old he is they ALWAYS respond with, "Oh wow, such a BIG boy!"

At 7mths Roman is not crawling....and it is a-okay with us! He is able to get around using the roll and rotate method of travel. He rolls to what he wants and once he gets there he does a hand over hand maneuver to turn in a circle....kind of like an alligator :) 

At 7mths we are trying to soak up all of the baby goodness we can. We know it won't be long before he will be running around the house and we will wish he was still doing the old roll and rotate.
