7 months of minden

Seven months. Wow. Time continues to fly on by. You weigh in at 18.6 lbs and are sticking to 26 inches long this month.

What a big month you just had baby girl. You are officially sitting up on your own now. You were wobbly there for about a week, and then all of sudden one day you just owned it. Straightened your self out and made your momma extremely proud. Of course I prop all sorts of pillows around you. Once in awhile you fail backwards, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Back before the sitting happened you began to roll. First while your aunt Lisa was watching you. You went from your belly to your back for about a day and a half. Then you stopped cold turkey. Since then you have rolled from you back to your belly, but you get frustrated shortly after and don't attempt to try and roll back.

Another first this month was solid foods. You have proved to be a wonderful little eater so far. You lean forward with excitement. So far we have only done sweet potatoes and peas. We are taking it slow to make sure nothing causes a bad reaction. You currently eat 1 tablespoon twice a day.

Lisa and Grandma Berger got to spend a few days alone with you this month while your daycare provider was on vacation. They were a huge help and enjoyed having that time with you. You were also babysat for the first time by someone other than your daycare provider this month. Your father and I attended your uncle Andrew's play. I texted at intermission to see how things were going. From the pictures we received it looked like you had a great time with the three kids at the house your were at.

You continue to be shy in new surroundings, but quickly warm up. You are a social butterfly. You love having other children around. You chime right in, making sure you are head.When you get to daycare you barely look back at me. You flap your arms in excitement of seeing your friends.

Your hair continues to grow in so very blond. On the top it sticks up, and I find myself tucking the long strands on the sides behind your ears. It looks like your eyes are going to remain blue just like your dad's eyes. 

Sleeping has remained the same. Most nights you wake up once to eat. You usually take an hour nap in the morning and around a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.

Your personality just grows and grows every month. You are a happy baby, but when you don't like something you know how to bring the drama. For instance the other day as I was putting you in your car seat one of your toys got stuck behind you. You must not have like how that felt because you were sure to let me know you weren't happy. Once I removed it things were all better. You have to love a girl that knows what she wants. You my dear seem to have strong opinions. Let's hope you don't go to hard on me during the teenage years (fingers crossed so very, very tightly).

I could go on and on about you, little girl. You just amaze me each day. Keep growing.

Love,
Momma
