You are now 7 months old! This year is going faster than I wanted. While you have not yet mastered the art of crawling forward you are getting really good at crawling backwards and in a circle or rolling over to get something. Even though you have been able to roll over for a few months, you have been enjoying rolling over a lot more lately. You love reaching for things, whether you are playing on the floor or sitting in our lap. You also love standing! You can stand holding onto the couch or a chair. You have very strong legs and are enjoying jumping in the Jumperoo as well.
You are very observant and love learning. You like me reading you books and are enjoying doing simple block puzzles. You said your first word which was "Mama!!" I was so proud! :) You say, "Mama, Mom, mah, bah, and ahgoo" pretty regularly. Blue Rock thinks you're saying his name when you say Bah Bah. He'll tell say to you, "yes, I'm your Bah Bah, brother!" In time we will know for sure. I'm starting to teach you basic sign language. You love waving to people.
Some of your favorite activities include: spending time with Mom, Dad, and brother, jumping in your Jumperoo, playing in your Exersaucer, playing with toys on the floor, and knocking over towers of blocks that Blue Rock builds for you. You are full of joy, wonder, and laughter.
We started solid foods a few weeks ago. Like clock work you get pretty excited about the first bite. Then you really could careless about most foods. Although you do have a few favorites that you'll get a couple bites of. Right now your favorite foods are: sweet potatoes, broccoli, peas, carrots, and bananas. I make most of your food using fresh, organic ingredients. You love green popsicles that I made using organic broccoli, kale, and bananas. I breastfeed you every 2-4 hours during the day and at night you'll sleep anywhere from 6-8 hours between feedings. Although it's getting harder and harder to feed you during the day unless we are home. You get very distracted!
You usually take a nap in the morning from about 11am-noon and one nap in the afternoon from about 3:30-4:30. You go to bed around 8pm and wake up around 8am. Sometimes you're up at 7:30am and sometimes you sleep until 8:30am.
You love playing with your brother and think he's the funniest person in the world. He's very fond of you too!
Random people still stop me and tell me how beautiful they think you are. We all think you are beautiful too! Your hair is getting longer and I can now softly brush it. You love it when I brush your hair. You are the sweetest girl I know!
You just got over your first cold. You didn't have a temperature but you had a cough and were congested. Thankfully you recovered pretty quickly.
God has truly blessed us with you! You are our little Princess from our heavenly King!
Love,
Mom
