Yep, crawling all over the place these days!

Check out that pout! Okay, baby, you can hold on to that camera strap as long as you like.

Take one last look at this head full of curls:

This has been a month of indecision regarding The Hair. I have been so hesitant to cut it because I love those curls and he’s so small, and scissors are sharp, and a million other excuses, but once it got to the point where it was actually covering his eyes, we had to do something.

First, we avoided the inevitable by combing, slicking, gelling, and finally slapping hats on to keep him from getting his dinner in his curls.
Eventually we even tried headbands (Rambo-style! See the iPhone roundup) and while I thought that was pretty adorable, it didn’t really work as well as we hoped. So yes, The Hair has been cut. (Pictures coming soon, technically they belong in next month’s post. I am a little behind on my blogging as usual.)

We had to lower the mattress yet AGAIN, as SOMEBODY has learned a new trick of pulling up. (and check out the knee-callouses from all of the crawling he’s been doing!)

iPhone roundup:

Cameron’s seventh month brought teeth, sitting up, and lots of rolling, rocking, and almost-crawling!

He started with some shaky sitting up at the beginning of the month:

(TIMBER!)

But now he’s an old pro:

(I got this, Mama.)

The hair, it is getting longer and curlier by the day:

Holly and Cameron are on their way to becoming fast friends:

We had to lower the crib mattress this month after I found him lounging with his feet propped up on the rails (see top right corner on the iPhone roundup):

iPhone roundup:

There is no doubt about it, I am going to cry when we eventually have to cut his hair.

I love how he smiles with his whole entire face, mouth wide-open. It’s the best.

Yes, this is March, and those are Christmas lights. I am slowly but surely getting caught up on blogging some of my sessions from the past few months. (Clients, don’t worry- I am actually much more punctual when it comes to delivering photos to you. Bradley’s photos were actually delivered back in December- when they were taken!) I just have a hard time choosing to blog over snuggling and playing with my little booger :) He’s napping now though, so this is a perfect time to catch up!

Anyway, enough about me! This post is about Bradley! Remember this sweet newborn? He has grown into such an adorable little boy:

This child’s mouth is always open. He screams, he laughs, he babbles, he blows raspberries. (And several eye-witnesses have heard a definite “Mama” escape from those lips.)

(one of the best videos we’ve gotten of his cute little quack-laugh. From a farting dog. Of course:)

I love everything about this kid.

The eyelashes:

The curled little toes:

The snuggles he doles out when feeling generous:

The determined look on his face that says, “Mama, you can no longer trust me to stay within the confines of this mat.”

Oh, boy. Time to start baby-proofing.

(have I mentioned he likes to jump and kick and drum with those little legs of his?)

iphone roundup:

I took so many pictures this month, I am just going to dump them here, willy-nilly, in no particular order:

Yay! Cold weather means we finally got to break out the bear suit! (We debuted it at the grocery store and accessorized with the Baby Bjorn. It was a HIT, according to many complete strangers.)

How many shots do you think it took me to get one with his legs outstretched, instead of curled up in a ball, hands locked in a death grip over feet? If you guessed ONE MEEEELLION- well. You are close.

Cameron is finally old enough for some of the more fun baby gear! Jumparoo! Bumbo! Other things that are not actually real words!

Oh REALLY?

As usual, I was stumped by the monthly iPhone roundup and sad that I had to narrow it down to ONLY sixteen.  Just trust me, there were a lot of cute ones that did not make the cut. Sad.

I will leave with this (super short, promise) video that I could (and do) watch over and over and over again.  Nothing groundbreaking here, but I love it:
