7 Months

At 7 months:

*The girl can really get around. She just lays on her tummy and scoots ever so slowly. She can roll anywhere, and although she doesn't really make it very far, she is NEVER in the same position I put her in.
*She is all over the place: You are holding her and she wiggles trying to reach anything she sees. You put her down and she tries to get anything she sees and acts like she would rather have you holding her. It's a lose/lose but she is still adorable, so it's okay!
*Loves to say MAMA!! Yes!!! She babbles "Mmmmmmmmmaaa mmmmmaaaaa" all the time! In fact, toward then end of month 6, she has pretty much stopped saying dada, which Ryan is very upset about. I think she'll be back to saying it in no time, though!
*Pulled herself up!! Can you believe it! It was in California when we were home for Christmas and she just held on to this little toy piano and up she went to a standing position! So strong and so cute! She really is growing up!
*Pretty much never eats in the middle of the night anymore. (Unless she is sick and needs it.) She goes to bed around 7:30 PM and gets up around 7 AM. We are still working on consistent long naps, but she normally gets 2/day in. The morning one is shorter lasting only an hour, but the afternoon one is normally closer to 1.5-2 hours. Again, she is mostly all over on the times and such, but oh well, it works for us!
*Size 3 diapers, 6 month or 9 month clothes
*She is SOOO close to actually crawling! It's amazing. She really has the feet motions down, but her hands don't move. Normally its the legs kicking with her face on the ground (can't be comfortable). But the last 2 days she has actually started to move her hands a little more. I wouldn't be surprised if she was crawling within a week or so.
*She has started to chunk up again.
*She will eat anything. She tolerates baby food, but she really likes real people food. She loves eating Cheerios and can even pick some up and get them in her mouth half the time! I would say one of her favorites is soup. She really likes that. I would name the food she has had but it would take too long and I can't remember them all. Basically, if we're eating it, so is she! She still nurses 4-5 times a day.
*LOVES to stand up. She is going through a phase of not wanting to sit down. It's hilarious! You try to put her in her high chair and she does everything she can to keep standing up. She loves to stand up and hold on to things to steady herself.
*Likes to read until her attention goes elsewhere. She will start to fake laugh when you open a book to read it to her, like she is so giddy! It's adorable.
*Loves little kids. She will laugh and laugh when there are other little kids around. It's too cute! She has the time of her life when we are around her cousins. Adorable.
