Happy 7 Months Kate!

We are having so much fun with this little girl! This month's post doesn't have pictures or video since my house is a mess, my bag is still packed from my vacation, & I need to get some work done before I turn in my time sheet, so it's mostly just for my benefit of not forgetting. More pictures to come soon...I promise!

--Loves peek-a-boo

--Loves songs with motions

--Studies new people very carefully, but warms up soon

--LOVES to eat. So far we haven't found anything this girl won't eat: cereals, bananas, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, avacados, carrots, pears, peaches, & apples. Squash will be added this month! We laugh because we're not sure if she would ever stop eating if we would let her. She is ALWAYS ready for more!

--Very observant of the world around her: she is constantly checking things out.

--Started some finger foods: puffs, small bits of bananas & avacados - still working on the "pincher" motion. Sometimes she gets it sometimes she needs help

--Scoots backwards - still no forward crawling - but she moves all over the room & reaches so hard!

--loves to be thrown in the air, bounced, etc.

--Moves from her tummy to sitting independently

--found the remote to the TV

--puts more syllables together - it's noise all day around here

--still sleeping at least 11 hours @ night & taking 3 naps. The first two are still 2 hours, but the 3rd one is fading - just an hour. I'm sure it'll be gone by next month

--no more teeth yet

--easily expresses dissatisfaction when she doesn't get what she was hoping for :)

--flaps her arms up and down when she is excited

--mimics things we do: motions, sounds

--holds her hands above her head & waits for you to clap when she does something she is proud of (sitting up,etc)

-pulls to standing holding our hands (and once on the crib!)
