Our little Spud is growing like a weed - a "Dyl" weed I guess! He is now 7 months old and 70 times cuter than I thought possible! We can't get enough of this guy and we spend a good portion of each day telling him and each other how much we love him and how we can't believe how cute he is.
On March 3rd he learned to sit all by himself! He probably could have done it a little earlier had I thought to try it! He balanced really well from the first try and wants to be sitting anytime he isn't sleeping! If he falls over, he does a continuous crunch until someone helps him back up.
Grandma & Grandpa Hanson came for a visit from Ely in March. Spud is so cute with them, I love how he is looking at Sam in this one! 
Grandpa Sam put shaving cream on his little nose. It was so funny watching him try to look at it and wonder! 
A great shot of Spud & Daddy! He LOVES that daddy!
I took him for his 6 month appt (a few weeks late) on the 23rd of March. He had only gained a half pound since he had RSV in Feb! The doc thinks the RSV (which he handled like a champ)just slowed him down a bit. He weighed 16 lbs 12 oz - 24th percentile (he had been in the 42nd in Feb). He was 27.4 inches long - 70th percentile (previously 55th, so I guess he is long and skinny). His cute head is 17.1 inches around - 31st percentile. He had been right down the middle with everything, now a little small. He eats like it's nobody's business though - so we don't mind him staying little! He loves pretty much everything I try to feed him - except MEAT! He hates any of the baby food with meat in it. It is hilarious to watch him eat it. He takes a few bites and then starts gagging a bit and twitching uncontrollably. He also will not take anything somewhat solid. He does the twitchy/gag thing with the tiniest bit of bread or anything!
Here he is on the 23rd - pretty happy for a kid who just got 4 shots. I guess he was in a tylenol-induced daze! The sweet little man is just getting more fun! He laughs and smiles all the time. People always ask me if he ever cries - I am spoiled! He does cry, and he is starting that "spoiled cry" these days and giving me fits for taking things away from him or not feeding him immediately. I take pretty good care of the kid - he has nothing to complain about, so he'll just have to deal with it! We are working on clapping hands - which he does a little. And he seems to be waving at people the last couple days - I'm not convinced that it's on purpose though. But, I think he is a genius anyway! .jpg)

He is too cute Steph! It was fun to play with him at Liz's wedding but we really should get together more often! And yes we like Nick because it may be the closest I get to naming a baby after my sis seeing as how Jack and I can only manage to make boys:) PS I love that little chair you got him for Easter where did you get it?
He IS growing like a weed, isn't he?! It is so fun to hear how strong and how smart he is getting! I didn't even know about the RSV - I'm so glad that he's ok. Your house is looking super cute in the background of all of those pictures. My favorite is that one of Dyl Pickle and Steve - my heart is officially melted. We need to hang out! :o]
I have the cute Easter pics to send you. I just need to spend some time making the files smaller so I can email them to you! It was so much fun to see you guys. Your little guy is too cute!
He is growing so fast and still just as cute as ever! We are back in Utah and would love to see you guy! Can't wait to meet your little man!
