7 Months of Dayton

Dayton is an easy, laid-back baby boy at 7 months old. He is very happy and laughs a ton! He loves to roll around and grab toys and is super content to do this for a solid hour while I fold clothes or do another chore with him in the room. He is always well-behaved in the nursery at church and with Ashlee, our babysitter, which makes me feel much more at ease thinking of putting him in Mother's Day Out two days a week starting August 27th! He'll be 8 months at that point!

This month he learned to…

sit up great unsupported! *my favorite accomplishment so far

Firsts:
