seven months old

My, oh my sweet baby child.  You are seven months old!



At seven months you:

  • Babble constantly.  You started out saying "mama" but shortly after learned "dada" and "baba."
  • Will occasionally scoot forward if you see a toy that you really, really want.
  • Sit up like a champ.
  • Fall asleep in your car seat.  Like, all the time.  Who would have guessed?  
  • Don't need a helmet!  We had our appointment with the pediatric neurosurgeon on Tuesday.  He basically said it was up to us.  "She does have a slight flat spot on one side, but she will get hair." We decided against it.  
  • Kind of wave? You don't actually wave at people yet, but you do the general hand motion.   
  • Eat solids!  So far the only thing that you didn't seem to like is carrots.  You make a disgusted face and spit them out every time I put some in your mouth.  We're still trying though.  

You love:
  • Daddy.  As soon as he gets home from work, you kick you legs and scream until he comes to pick you up.  If he tries to hand you to me to change out of his work clothes, you get really angry unless we follow him into the bedroom.
  • Singing songs, dancing, and anything musical.  We started going to Musical Storytime as the library, and Kennedy LOVES it.

You don't love:
  • Your stroller still.  And to be honest, I have just stopped using it.  We just take you everywhere in the Ergo.  I find it easier to navigate than a stroller.  Am I creating a monster?

Highlights of the Month:
  • A baby shower for Leanne and Matt's baby Abe.  You were the only baby there and loved getting all the attention.  Here are the adorable matching outfits that we dressed in...before you blew out in your car seat on the way there.  Thankfully, we brought a back up.
  • We went up to Santa Cruz for a family reunion with my dad's side of the family.  We had so much fun meeting cousins that we had never even met before and spending time with our aunts and uncles.
  • Meeting baby Jackson for the first time.  Kennedy looks like such a beast next to him.  He is so tiny and sweet and PERFECT!

  • Sarah came up from San Diego to visit us.  Of course, we had to go shopping.
  • Lots of play groups.  I feel like we've finally started to get our groove and figure out what works for us and what doesn't.
  • Visiting cousins out in Corona.  We got to see Addy and Jess on their way back to Utah!
