7 months old



brennan grace, you are 7 months old today...

* you are SO CLOSE to crawling and it is so cute to watch you try, get frustrated, and try again
* some of our favorite moments are early in the morning when you have just woken up (and woken us up), so either daddy or i will go get you and pull you into bed with us. you never go back to sleep, instead deciding that grabbing our face and arms is much more fun. i love waking up to your squeals of delight as you roll around in between us
* you sleep like a rockstar. most nights. not last night, but most nights
* we're still introducing solid foods, but so far your favorites are pears and pumpkin.
* you are sitting up by yourself now and look like such a BIG GIRL. i can't even handle it
* you LOVE faces. your hand is always reaching out to our eyes, nose, mouth. it is not uncommon for me to have to carry on a conversation with your fingers grabbing my lips
* we sing together. when i get you from a nap, as i change your diaper, as i carry you around the house... i'll sing and you get a big grin and go 'aaahhhhhh'
* you still love to do raspberries, though not as much as when you were 6 months old. i think you're too cool for them now, but i hope they make a reappearance because it's super cute as your go-to response for everything
* you are starting to get ticklish. especially on your tummy and it makes you double over in laughter. i LOVE to hear you laugh

happy 7 month birthday baby girl!

this looks like i caught you in the middle of being naughty.
maybe i'll see this look many more times in about 15 years

starting yesterday, this is what greets me after naptime. a little girl who is sitting up by herself, content as can be, playing with her lovies.
