Month Seven

My littlest Miss, how you keep growing. Seven months have come and gone and next week will be taking your 8 month shots! Crazy. Time as usual is just flying by us at warp speed.

You are much more expressive now, and you are loud! Doesn't matter if you are happy, sad, angry, joyful, it all results in screaming and being loud. 

 You were so not impressed with the cute little tutu. You looked really sweet though.

Happier days seem to be happening more often lately. You don't cry as often, or fuss as much, and that makes momma so happy. If we are home, you will likely have a little nap in the morning and afternoon, and the smiles that follow are so great. Sleep is good for everyone!!!!!

And speaking of sleep, you went to Grammys for 5 days while mom and dad went to Las Vegas, and you actually slept through the night. The first day in Vegas getting the text message that you slept from 9pm-6am, almost had me falling out of my chair! What?!?
I guess you decided that since Mom wasn't around, you didn't need to snack all night. Yay. The only downside to your sleeping, is that most of it is done in the swing. Left alone in the swing, you will sleep all night. So as much as I don't want that, I don't really have a choice right now. You are sleeping. Something we both need desperately after 7 long months. So once you get used to sleeping all night, no snacking, no waking, we will work on getting you into a bed and not a swing. Otherwise what is our next option when you outgrow the swing? A hammock? lol.

You get up so happy in the morning. Some mornings we get til 7. Other mornings it's closer to 6. But we get up, you nurse, then have breakfast and by that time, your sister is definitely up. And the day just rushes by. You love to eat!!!! Man can you pack it away. I have never seen someone so small eat so much. You will also pretty much eat anything. There isn't much you turn away. Not a fan of mango or pineapple, but when they are mixed and hidden you will eat them. You love broccoli and cauliflower. I have just been cooking them up and cutting into small bits and you love to feed your self. Your little pincher grasp has developed and you can pretty much pick up anything little now.

You watch your sister like a hawk and love to watch other kids. I think you have just as much fun at soccer as Audra, who is actually playing. You are almost crawling. If there is something behind your feet, you will push off. You roll around constantly and can now spin yourself in a circle. So if something falls behind you, you can get it. It's so cute seeing you scoot around.

I think we have finally turned a good corner my little Miss, and I hope it stays. You can be so fun and adorable. Excited for the summer and all the fun things we are going to do and see.
