7 months

Baby girl is now 7 months old!

almost 18 pounds

about 27" long (I really have no idea, just a guess)

wears size 6-9 months clothes

She loves to sit and play with her toys, actually connor's toys. She'll scoot around a little bit on her butt, but cannot figure out how to get up on her hands and knees to crawl. (I think she is listening to my last request for her not to crawl and move around yet.) She loves to stand up and has pulled up on the coffee table to stand a few times.

Last week she was really sick with a cold (which has now been passed onto me), and she was barely eating anything. She would only nurse, and would not take any baby food. However, this week she is surely making up for it. She will eat anything I make for her and a whole lot of it. She definitely likes the veggies more than fruit right now.

She is learning how to clap, and will do it randomly during the day, except for when I try to get her to do it. Same thing with waving...she will wave to herself all day long, but rarely when you want her to. But it is just to cute to see her clapping and waving to herself!

My favorites:

Her chubby sausages (aka..her fingers)

Her chin

Her giggles and smiles

Her serious face (the exact same one Connor had at this age) shown in the first picture

How she tries to kiss with her mouth wide open

The way she holds onto me when I'm carrying her

Rubbing her hair....that is starting to come in

Her little tummy

Her wave

Her snuggles

The way she sucks her thumb

How she's not afraid of anything (loud noises, random dogs, her brother's aggressiveness:)

How much she loves her brother!
