wennerfamily: 7-8 Months Old

We started off your 7-8 month journey sick. Your first cold. You learn a lot as a parent and I think the first cold or sickness is one of those growing moments. You doubt if your ok. You doubt if we are doing what we should. If your getting better or worse. Every sniffle, every cough, every snotty heavy breathing. But don't worry we only took you to the doctor twice hahahha. Mummy got sick first then you and then we shared it with dad hahaha. Sharing is caring right :-P We spent like 2 1/2 weeks at home. Didn't go out hardly at all only just for doc apt. We played, we slept, we snuggled and we watched movies with daddy in bed on the weekends.

Playing in the cave (Under Mum and Dads doona in bed)

Oh how i love your little fingers and hands. So cute, chubby and fabulous!!! :-)

You know you a parent when you bring all the toys into the bed so you can still sleep for an extra 5 min on a weekend :-P and then find toys in the bed that night.

You got your two top teeth also during this time. So by 7 months and 8 days you had four teeth :-) Your whole face looks so different with each teeth that come through. So cute!!!

I had to share this photo again cos i think its just so cute :-)

Your Cousin Noah had his first bday party and we skyped in to see him open his presents and eat cake. Yumm. Aunty Tiff and Uncle Daniel had an awesome set up with a slide and a pool. You and your cousin might be 6ish months apart but you are both summer babies which makes it fun!!! So seeing him having his summer birthday makes us excited for your end of spring/earlysummer bday. Yes Mummy and Daddy have already started brainstorming and organising certain things about it. Seems that we are having all the first bithday parties start now from the year you were in the womb. Its exciting. We had Annabelle's this month too. The first one from all your little friends here.

You on skype with Noah as he opened his presents

Us all ready to go to Annabelle's party

Ilia, Annabelle you and one of Annabelle's friends playing together.

I think this is STILL your favourite place to sleep. and you sleep this way every time with your arm through daddys arm letting it just dangle.

Lil Ilia just loves you i think lol. Good to see your not fazed hahahaha. Good thing or bad thing that your not we shall need to see in the future :)

You and I enjoying her party. Mummy ate all the fairy bread :-P

You and I really like Fridays because its bible study morning at Aunty Hannahs. I get to see Hannah and you get to see your BFF Silas. :-) This day we went and hung out afterwards at Tuggerah with them and on the way stopped and had lunch with Daddy at work.

You two are too cute together.

So glad we both had boys :-)

Lunch across the road from Daddys work.

Ok. So anyone would think you two would prefer to be inseperable. Hayley cries when she hasn't seen you or Aunty Mel drives past the street to turn off to our house. You get sooo excited when you see her and you follow her with your eyes everywhere she goes. I think when you can walk it will be quite hilarious to watch you chase her. I love the little love relationship you and Hayley have. It totally warms my heart :-) You totally know who she is and you smile, giggle and look so happy when she is around.

The three cousins all together :-)

You both look very mischievous in this pic!

All I can hear is Hayley saying : "Eamon stop it. Stop pulling Hayleys hair"
Me: Eamon say sorry to your cousin. He doesn't understand just yet what he is doing and that he hurts you. Sorry Hayley."
Hayley to Eamon : " Sorry Eamon."

Both contained... both mummies can sit and have a cuppa.

Hayley was asleep so you had some down time with Aunty Mel and your LITTLE cousin. Crazy to think your a big cousin :-) There will be about 11 months between you and your boy/girl little cousin that Aunty Mel is Baking :-)

We had your baby dedication at church this month. All the cute little babies all your little friends (girls) too. Boofy, Nanna, Ma, Aunty Mel, Uncle Scott, Kristy, Chris, Ali, Johnny, Jeni, Scott and their two boys Rylan and Spencie, Laura, Cristiaen, Hannah and Silas and also Kate (your student midwife we had) came to share in the special occasion that dont usually come to church with us. Then all the people who already love you so much at HOP. Little man you are abundantly loved!!! We are so honoured to be your parents that God has given us this responsibility to love you and bring you up in a Christian home to love the Lord. We also are so blessed to be in a church family that are always there to encourage us and support us in the good and the hard moments. There are so many people who share wisdom with us in raising you. It was such a special occasion for us to dedicate and commit you back to God. :-) Your dad talked about his experience as a father now has helped him realised the love God has for him. He got all teary and made me get all emotional :-) Doesnt take much for me. Afterwards we went down and got fish and chips and just hung out with those who could. You had your first hot chippy.

Uncle Dot - that chippy is mine thankyop

You and Spencer were born 10 days apart. We met Jeni and Spencer in DAU because we both had complications. You boys are way too cute together :-)

Here are some pics from the month that was 7-8 months :-)
