7 Months

I know you've heard this before, but I CANNOT believe that God blessed us with our little miracle 7 months ago! She changes so much each month. It's so amazing to witness her learning and growth. I never knew I could possess such a deep love for someone so small but I DO! Steve and I absolutely love being parents, especially to such a unique little girl. Each day, I do my best to stop and cherish each moment because I know the next time I turn my head, she'll be WOW-ing us with something new. Here is what our precious bean has been up to:

~ nurses 4-5 times a day ~ has tried all fruits/veggies

~ eats Oatmeal or rice cereal twice a day

~ is practicing holding and using a sippy cup (not very successful yet)

~ sleeps 10-11 hours a night

~ takes two, 2 hour naps and sometimes an early evening cat nap

~ goes to bed around 8:00

~ has perfected the art of sitting and even reaches for toys far out of her reach

~ rocks forward in attempt to reach things

~ knows how to roll over both ways but prefers not to

~ takes a bath in the REAL tub

~ says, "a-da, dah, dah" and "I-da"

~ says "mmmm-um" when she's whining

~ LOVES other children and has giggling fits when she's around them

~ is a bit of a mommy's girl

~ is very sensitive to loud sounds

~ is very curious about Rosie, our cat

~ loves being outside

~ sits like a big girl in her stroller

~ is fascinated by everything that's not technically a toy

~ passes objects back and forth between hands (still working on the pincer grasp)

~ smiles when I baby sign to her

~ only has her pacifier at naps and bedtime

We love you baby! Happy 7 months!
