Lately

Axel, 2013

After a two week long cold, Axel finally seems to be back in stride. He's as busy as ever. I'm not sure if this is what all babies are like at 7-ish months, but Axel plays furiously. He doesn't have much time for cuddling unless he is nearly asleep. Otherwise, it's all about exploring, all the time.

I fear we're in for a few months of bruises and bumps.

His latest trick is pivoting around on his belly and occasionally scooting from here to there until he's stopped in his tracks by a chair leg or the like.

This week he's tried blueberries, chicken, and plenty of parsnips. He's also starting to give Will and I even bigger grins when we get home from work, like "Hey! Oh, I like you guys!" It's not that he didn't react before, it's just that now it seems more...personal?

What a little nut.
