7 months

Molly,
Month six was a little rough with these never ending ear infections & antibiotics but I know that month 7 is going to be awesome! You're still a very good eater and have tried squash, parsnips, & pears. You eat about every 3-4 hours and have started taking "big girl bottles" (7 oz) for Miss P. You really like to play in/with your food more than you like to eat it but that's alright. You don't mind sitting in your high chair and like to play with your spoon & pink bib constantly. You've started making this crazy face when you eat where you put your tongue down between your gums and bottom lip and pushing out. It's hysterical. Teething is the name of the game! We go through about 5 bibs a day with all the drool, but still no teeth yet!

The sleeping situation this month has been a little rough. You go down after your bath around 8 and will sleep until 2 or 3. Once you eat you fall right back to sleep but since you've been having allergic reactions to all these medicines you've been sleeping with Mommy in the guest bed. You look so sweet & peaceful when you're sleeping but under those covers you're just a kickin' away.

You LOVE your picnic basket & anything you can chew on. Your Lenny lamb is still the only stuffed animal you'll pay attention to. Playing with your feet is most often your "toy" of choice and every time Mommy tries to read to you you take the book and put it in your mouth. You've started playing with "Nana Betty" while Mommy and Mimi are at dance class. You'll stay with her for about 45 minutes and then you want to come out and hear the music and dance with Mommy. You still love to see Miss Kat at church and have started playing more with your friend, Athena, at Miss Ps.

You pushed yourself up onto your knees for the first time this month. You'll get up there and just rock back and forth before pushing yourself backwards. This weekend you started (or maybe it's the first time I've noticed) scooting around on your booty. You LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear yourself. Miss P thinks you're going to be a singer because you have such a set of lungs. You'll just scream (loud & ear piercing) for no reason, stop and then smile & do it again. You also rode in the seat in the cart for the first time this month & really liked it for the first 20 minutes. People would stop and talk to you and you would just SMILE.

You're wearing 6 month clothes. You're very good at getting your arms into your sleeves with very little help anymore. You're in size 2 diapers but I think you're just about ready for size 3. When it comes to socks (which you love to pay with, not so much wear) you're wearing 9 month socks. Little Princess, Peepers, Peanut, Little Buddy, Peeps, whatever we call you Mommy & Daddy love you so much! You make our life so full. I love you.
Love,
Mommy
