Halloween

October 31st, 2010 was no only Silas' first Halloween but also his 7 month birthday!! Gosh, really...7 months old already???

He is quite the little man if I do say so myself. He sits up very well on his own and his second tooth is thisclose to being completely through. He took his first bath as a "big boy" last night - no baby tub, just one big boy sitting up on his own, splashing in the tub. He was very proud of himself and really enjoyed playing with the cup and watching the water hit his hands. I had held off on letting him sit on his own 'cause I wasn't so confident in his ability to sit but he has proven that he is capable and LOVES it! His favorite phrase is "DA-DA-DA" but we've been working diligently on "Ma-Ma" too. :) Silas loves mango, squash, peaches, & sweet potatoes and his new favorite toy is the remote....typical guy! Ha! :) He is working very hard on the thought process of crawling. So far he just rocks back & forth on all fours but hasn't quite figured out how to go forward. When laying on his stomach, he does go backwards and can turn himself in a circle. He does love to stand up like a big boy while holding our hands and will bounce every opportunity that he gets. Although I think he is a ways away from walking, I guess he could walk before crawling since he loves to stand so much. He'll grab for our hands and try to pull himself up. Such a big boy!!

For Halloween Silas was a lion. Have you ever seen such a cute lion?? I'm a little surprised that hats don't seem to bother him at all - he just smiles and goes along with whatever hat I put on him. :) Thank goodness, 'cause I bought a lot of hats!!
