7 Months Old!

Zeb's 7 months old today.

He looks just like his daddy, adorable like his daddy too.  Holding Zeb makes Zach feel a little closer.  Like he's only 6836 miles away instead of 6837 miles away.

 

He's sitting, rolling like a madman, scooting, getting on his hands and knees and hands and feet even in the last couple days, getting close to crawling (Lord, in Your infinite mercy, please spare me for a little bit longer).  He can say da, ga, ma, ba and loves to make himself heard.  He's still not interested in solid foods and still loves to cuddle, though the writing is on the wall as he's enjoying his floor time more and more.  He gives kisses and just started reaching to be picked up which both result in gooey marshmallow fluff where my heart should be.

"Are you going to take pictures of me too mommy?"

Of course.

Those eyes.

That smile. 

Wonderful blessings they are.

Psalm 8

O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouths of babies and infants,

you have established strength because of your foes,

to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Well, I don't believe in that stuff, so I'll change it to thank you Lord!  Both kids went down for naps at the same time yesterday, so off I went with the camera and my new lens (which is wonderful and my hubby's way too good to me) and played around outside.  A couple goodies from that small excursion follow:

Now if I could get good shots to become skill and not dumb luck... then I might have something.
