7 months old!

Well, this peach is 7 months old! When did THAT happen? I was planning on commemorating her 6 month birthday with a lovely post, but that date came and went. So, I am a month behind. Who cares, at least I am getting this done! Just ask my sister if SHE has any pictures in her baby book. It's all I'm saying.

I just LOVE this baby stage! She sleeps through the night, takes good naps, and every time she sees me she just gives me the biggest, gummiest smiles. I love this girl. So do the boys. They think is hilarious when she "talks" and giggles. G is babbling up a storm. She loves using her voice, and likes to screech when she is in a good mood. When she wakes up in the morning, she just chats. No more crying. She loves being tickled and thinks it is hilarious when Maylie sniffs her face.

She continues to eat everything I give her. Her latest additions include carrots, plums, beets, and peas. I have some left over pot roast that I plan on pureeing for her. We will see how she likes that. The girl still doesn't have any teeth. Not even a bump on her gums. E was late to get teeth, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

As far as mobility, she moves. Fortunately (for me) she isn't quite crawling yet. She rolls wherever she wants to go, pivots, and scoots backwards. She is capable of getting to where she wants to be. Sometimes she backs herself into a corner or up against something. She is rocking on her knees, but for now she is content to be on her belly. I need to start to be better about the boys and their Legos. Now that she is moving about on the floor, the legos can't be there. B is getting better about it, but E still likes to just drop things wherever he is.

She is definitely a Mama's girl. If someone else is holding her, she will crane her neck to be sure she can see me. We don't have any separation issues yet. She doesn't mind being with other people. But if she is tired and ready to nurse and she happens to see me, she will throw a fit until she is in my arms. I love how her biggest problems are so easily solved with nursing and napping. Wouldn't it be nice if all it took were a nice nap to wash our worries away. Babies are great that way.

I can't believe that less than a year ago, she was a newborn blob. At least she had hair back then. I wonder when that will grow in. Perhaps along with her teeth!
