Being on the go makes you exhausted! I'm 7 months old!

There are just some days when I would love to be like this:

I guess being on the go really wears the little man out! Other times, he enjoys spending time in his high chair... with some Cheerios.
And babbling... hence the funny face.
Remember this bear? Yeah, that's the original Mr. Bear... my my how much the bear shrank!!!


Contemplating his moves...
Along with being constantly on the go comes pictures that are no longer perfect. Ruston turned 7 months on April 25th, and here's a few pictures of the difficulty I had while getting Ruston to hold still with Mr. Bear for his monthly bear picture!
I even tried to coax him with a couple of other toys...


...still didn't work. Below is the best one I got, I think. :)

Either way, he's fun to play with. Ruston has been babbling like crazy (including da da, ba ba, ma ma, and na na), is ALL over the place with the fastest Army crawl I have ever seen, but would much rather be standing. He thinks he can walk, but has horrible balance... haha. I'm sure it won't be long now.

Playing with Taco

Ruston enjoys rolling around, army crawling, and playing with Taco.
In an attempt to catch him on all fours, but he didn't stay there for long that day... and this was mid April, so almost 7 months old and VERY mobile.
Trying to take Taco's ball, but Taco wasn't having much of it. Although it looks like he's biting Ruston's arm, he's actually just licking it.
Taco puts up with quite a bit from Ruston... and I'm sure it'll only get worse.
Another attempt at all fours. He likes to use his toes to get himself places.
And this is what his face usually looks like while he's on the move because he's talking the whole time. :) Cute kid, if I do say so myself!

Gardening

I have a few planters hanging from our deck. I finally put some flowers in them, and got a little watering can to water them. Ruston decided he wanted to help me water the flowers... or himself.

I realize I haven't taken any pictures of the flowers, but Ruston's cuter anyway!
