7 months old!

We've had to go old school and use our film camera to document Jasper's progress these days. Poor thing, he'll have about 30 photos from his entire 8th month of life (in contrast to something like 300 photos from his 1st month of life).


Jasper is now 7 months old.

Here are some updates:

• Jasper has moved up to his convertible car seat from his infant car seat. (Mom and dad are glad for the break from carrying that very heavy car seat with an even heavier boy in it. However, we will really miss being able to transport him into/out of the car without waking him when he's sleeping.)
• Jasper has FOUR teeth. The fourth (upper right) came in at the end of last week.
• Jasper has learned how to roll over from his back to his stomach.
• Jasper is learning how to crawl ... slowly.
• Jasper is eating green beans - a little. He also smacks his lips after he takes a spoonful. It makes Drew crack up.
• Jasper took a nap in the church nursery this morning - on his tummy, in the crib. He generally has cried at home when he is in his crib and gets turned over onto his tummy and can't get turned back over. We were totally surprised that he slept and on his tummy. Hopefully this will be a good pattern for the weeks ahead, since Drew and I are going to teach Sunday school starting in August. That means we'll be at church for about three hours each Sunday. Jasper continues to amaze us in how agreeable he is!

Check out my teeth!

He looks kind of confused here, doesn't he?

We're still feeding Jasper while he sits in the Bumbo seat. After he has cereal and green beans, he gets a "top off" of milk. He leans back, kicks his feet and swings his arms as Drew feeds him. It's pretty cute.
