Duncan: 31 Weeks Old

Dear Duncan,

You are a strapping 31 week old baby boy today! We've had another fun but busy week. We did a lot of housecleaning, got out for a couple walks when the weather was nice, and enjoyed some time with friends. You are getting to be such a big boy! You turned 7 months old this week and your appetite is growing right along with you. You are a bottomless pit these days!! I think you might eat us out of house and home soon. :P With all the eating, you're outgrowing a lot of your onesies. Today, I put you in this super cute romper from Papa Gary & Nana Mary (your cousin Logan's grandparents!). It is SO cute! Mommy is a sucker for tractor apparel. And just look at that belly! :)

Our good friends, Andrew & Lee, came over for dinner on Friday and they brought you a super cute plush puppy from Harrod's (Lee brought it all the way from London)! You love him and we all decided to name him Bob. You sure loved playing with the guys, even though you haven't seen Lee since December! You were still fussy back then and he was so amazed at how happy you are now. :)

You're doing so great at sitting by yourself this week. Although you are sometimes still crazy about just throwing yourself backwards or sideways on a whim with complete disregard for the well-being of your head or face, you do sit and play for long stretches at a time. You still prefer being on your tummy and moving yourself around though!

You have such personality, Duncan. You crack us up everyday and keep us on our toes for sure! You're testing out your temper recently and often try to get what you want by throwing mini-fits of rage. We do our best to not give in, but you sure can be loud and persistent! :P

But most times, you are still very happy and goofy. So hopefully, the tantrums will pass soon (fingers crossed!).

Well, Mommy's gottta go make you some more food since you are going through our freezer stash like crazy now. We did discover that you don't like roast chicken and mashed potatoes, so now I'm wondering if you are really my kid. Haha! :P

Thanks for another fun week, little man. Love you more than you could ever know, Duncan. :)

Love,
Mommy
