The Beginning of Seven Months.

As of the past week this is how my son looks after waking up each morning. It's seriously insane how quickly babies learn something new - which then immediately becomes second nature to them. My son, Sawyer, figured out how to transfer from a laying down position to a sitting up position without any warning! It's really something to wake up and go into his room to find him sitting up, alert and smiling... he's like, "I'm fuckin' ready to eat people!!" The purple box of wipes was left on the corner of the crib (that you see in the picture) so he clearly found a way to bring the box into the crib and begin to play that shit like it's bongo drums! It's funny because Sawyer seems to master milestones late at night in his crib. As soon as I put him down to sleep he begins the usual loud banter to himself, which lasts for about 15 minutes. Almost every night. I wonder if he's talking to aliens? That would be awesome. Anyway, his milestones are usually a complete surprise to me since he practices alone. Also, it's truly amazing how quickly he tires of certain situations. One day he laughs his ass off when I play peek-a-boo, then the next day while attempting to humor him through the same game, I swear to God he gives me a look like "You stupid fool, you look like an moron trying to amuse me." So I decide to tickle his feet and he laughs hysterically. Two days later I tickle his feet and the way he looks at me like he might as well be saying "Mom, I feel sorry for you. You're pitiful." Oh, the joys. I love Sawyer like Democrats love taxes.
