Ari is 7 months

 It has been a bit since I have done an official Embrace The Camera post even though I have been making sure to take pictures with the kids. So this post is my official one for the week, although Anthony is the lucky parent this week that is embracing the camera....I love you honey!:)

Ari turned 7 months on January 30th. He has not felt very well though so I did not take his monthly photos until today. When he does not feel well he is just a crabby little boy! Needless to say it is now a workout and required the help of his older brother. He is on the move and nothing stops him so to get his usual comparison pictures for each month I literally had to put him on his stomach have Eli hold his arms for a second while I got ready and said Eli let go! Then I got what I could. He is halfway across the bed before I could even get a nice sharp focused image.  These would be the results..........

 


His top two teeth have popped through in the past couple of days. He also is trying to stand on everything. He is fast as can be and very vocal. He also decided to sit up fully on his own. He could sit up if I put him down. On his own he would always prop himself up with one arm until yesterday where out of the blue he started just sitting up. He loves his brother and sister and they love him. I can't believe he is 7 months already! I have yet to do his official "6 month photos." There is a reason for that and I hope to have them done this weekend:) I am waiting until I get my new camera to do all the kids photos as I need to be able to practice and get use to it. Soo the goal is to get it on Friday hopefully I am able to. Ari also has another appointment with the urologist on friday. I can't believe it has been 6 months since we saw them last!! When I scheduled it I thought it was so far away! Sadly, it has flown by. We will know more after that appointment.

 

The kids played Candyland with Anthony tonight before bed. I worked on bouncing my flash and am pretty impressed with how well it turned out. I should have worked on that a year ago. I love natural light but at night I need my flash inside and always avoided it until now. 

 

Take time to Embrace the camera with your kids!
