Dearest Raffie,

7 months and you are such a little super star!

I can see you will be determined and gentle like your sister and cheeky and happy like your brother. Your personality gets more interesting every day and you are just so much happier now that you’ve mastered the art of rolling from your back onto your front! You can also sit unaided (mostly) and you are trying lots of foods. You seem to really like a puree if it’s sweetish and it’s a joy to watch you try new things.

This past month you have done all that extra physical development, seen the proper sun for the first time, celebrated Jimmy’s birthday at Legoland with him, been to your first messy play session, gone into a seat on the buggy and I think you are getting really cross with your gums – teeth are about to push through I know it!

You just make me happy little boy. I feel content when we are all together and you are at the heart of it all. We were just waiting for you Raffster and now you are here we are all the richer for it!
