7 Months!

I'm 7 months old!! Mama weighed me at home and I am 24 pounds. I am a very happy 7 month old. I enjoy my toys, playing with my brother and exploring. I'm still not crawling forward, but I can get around! I roll, spin on my tummy, reach and scoot backwards. Some thing a few feet in front of me may still be safe, but I can get around and into all kinds of trouble when Mama puts me on the ground :)

My biggest problem lately has been sleep. I went through a few weeks where I would stay up until 10ish and then wake up in the middle of the night too. Mama and Da bought some Baby Rub for me. I really like it. The last few nights, I've stayed up until almost 11:00, but at least I've been sleeping through the night for Mama. I also have my first real cold with a stuffy nose and a cough. Poor Ry, Ry!

I am hooked on my Mama! When I see her leave a room, it makes me really sad. When I see her again, I always give her a super big smile! Mama wonders if it's really that I'm happy to see her, or if it has more to do with food :) Talking about food, I'm still enjoy trying new things. I've added peaches and pears to my foods. I also had some little pieces of bread today at lunch! I gave a squishy face when the bread first hit my tongue, but I was looking for more right away!

The dress I'm wearing was Mama's when she was little.




Our sweet Riley!

Hi Riley!

It was so nice to finally meet you the other weekend! I really enjoyed seeing your happy little face in person. I can't believe you just got your first cold-what a lucky girl! (Ginny was 4 months when she got her first cold).

You know, Ginny went through a similar phase of having trouble going to sleep and waking up during the night around 6 months. It must be the age!
