7 months of baby girl

I always have a handle on when the 9th is coming up.  I sort of plan what I want to write about our girl and usually I have it waiting to publish a few days beforehand.  That being said, this month I was shocked when I clocked in today and saw 9-9-11.  Seven months.  Honestly this month feels like she has been 7 months forever.  Not because she has been a handful or difficult but because she is still just sitting around smiling and babbling just like last month.  Not much has changed...which is nice.  No new mobility milestones, no new schedule throwers, no new Dr appt stats, regardless she is 7 months old and this is what she looks like this month. 

*Yes, that's her first 'toofer' you see and just this last week one more pushed it's way up right next to it.

*She is sleeping like an old pro again (ha!) going to bed by 7:30 and waking around 7:00.

*Most nights she is quiet all night, but she might be to be plugged with her Nuk a few times here and there.

*She is eating at 7:30, 12:30 with solids, 4:00 with solids and then 7:15.  Six ozs except for the solid feedings then it's 4 ozs and practically a whole container of apples, peaches, carrots, squash, anything but peas! 

*She will hold her own bottle.

*She is on her way to being a great napper within the last few weeks sleeping anywhere from 2-3 solid hours midday and then another hour in the evening.  Everyone took naps this last weekend and I expected to be awoken by one of the children when we went down at 11:30 but was shocked when Lyssa started talking just after 2:00!  I was supposed to get laundry done but whatever! 

*She is wearing 6 month clothes and I went out to by the 9-12 month sized clothes and just wasn't ready.  They looked so big next to the NB size and I am also in denial about the cooler weather so we are going to wait until she actually needs the bigger size.

*She loves to give hugs.

*She loves her some Deuce.  She just stares at him watching his every move.  It's hairy, wet (slobbery kisses from both) and weird to think that this was Riley not that long ago! 

*She is saying "dada" and now "mama" which is so exciting!  Mama only seems to come out when she is super frustrated but I will take it! 

We all love having her around.  She completes us in a way I didn't see coming.  Happy 7 months baby girl!

Loving the dainty way she has her hands folded!

What is up with our kids and having their tongues out!?

Why do you always have that camera in front of your face 'mama'?

She is giving Riley all of her smiles : )  She looks so grown up!
