7 months old and growing like a weed

Calder is now 7 months old and I wonder where the time has gone. I mean, it's gone so quickly! People are starting to remind me how little time I have left before I go back to work, and really, I rather they didn't, because it just reminds me of how little time I have left with him before I have to leave him in someone else's care.

That's what sucks the most, and that's an understatement. I do so wish I could spend another year with him, but looking on the bright side of things, at least my line of work has plenty of vacation (all together about 4 1/2 months!) so I am not going to whinge on about it too much. This is the way it has to be! For now I am going to enjoy my baby boy and take every day as it comes. But, I am looking forward to nicer weather (as we have seen some lovely glimpses of it!) and doing a lot of things outside together.

Here's Calder's 7 month/Easter picture...he's starting to look more and more like a little boy lately. I was saying to Gary last night, he seems to almost have turned a corner in his maturity, if that sounds weird - yesterday he'd be crawling around - I would call his name and he would turn around and sit, give me this beautiful little look followed by a smile and wait for me to say something. It made my heart just melt!

Have a wonderful day!
