Pictures as of Lately

Some recent photos of Murray at 6 - 7 months-

We reached some milestones this month. Murray is sitting strong and rarely even falls over. He's still a little slow no the crawling front, he will first have to be willing to be on his stomach for more than 10 minutes to even allow this skill to be aquired. I get called "Mamamamama" a lot lately. It is still mostly in babbles and occationally when I leave the room. He continues to eat more varieties of food- peaches, pears, an occasional chance to suck on pickles (only when neither of us can handle screaming any longer), oatmeal, peas. He claps a lot and squeals in delight.

But... our proudest accomplishment is Murray's ability to now make the sign for milk. He definitely knows how to let us know when he's hungry (it seems like every time he sees me he makes the sign for milk). That's the only sign language he's caught onto, but we continue to make a few other simple signs for him to learn.

he loves listening to music and singing (even my voice that can barely carry a tune)

As for Adam and I....

Look at this picture of Adam and you can see just how much sleep we're getting lately. Just try and ignore the chocolate cake that he so proudly made and look at those bags under his eyes. I speak for us both when I say,

I feel like I haven't slept in months.

If only Murray felt the same way.
