Late as usual, but sweet pea turned 7 months last Monday, and it was a big one. It seemed like overnight our girl went from barely crawling to full blown mobile. At the six month mark she had crawling figured out but now she is MOVING, quick. She can also pull her self from sitting to standing with the assistance of anything she can get her hands on. She's also let go a few times and had a few solid seconds of free standing before she falls. If she could just master that little baby core and her tippy toes she would be walking. Look out Mama and Daddy cause it's coming quick.
I'm not sure where she is for height and weight, my guess is around 16 to 17 pounds and maybe 27 inches long. She is growing right out of size two diapers, I know because she has gone through more clothes in the past week than in her whole life. It's not that they don't fit they just don't hold!
She still has no teeth but we have tried some real solids and have tried the majority of baby food flavors now. She seems much more interested in our food than the baby food. Hopefully that means she will be a good eater. So far she has tried eggs, Gerber cereal puffs, some bread, avocado, yogurt, sweet peppers and she got her mouth on a piece of pizza. The pepper and the pizza were her jam and she got mad at me when I took both of them away! She hasn't fully mastered her tongue movement and she seems to have a little gag reflex happening occasionally (especially with peas....girl after my own heart, terrible food, ick!)
Other big things that happened this month: she finally has started to jabber. She mostly just says dadadadada. At first I didn't think it really meant dad but she said it when Mark walked into the room yesterday, so I guess he wins for first word. She has also said jabbered something that sounded like mom though too! But best of all she has been sleeping all night and not waking until five or six in the morning! And I really hope I didn't just jinx it!
After this month of new I'm wondering what the next month will bring. Surely teeth and maybe her first steps? I guess we'll find out because this time is flying.
