So much to say…

Janie has been really chatty this week.  Lately, she’ll just hang out having a conversation with herself.  Looks like it’s going to be a big motor AND speech month for her!  Auntie Stephanie, are you watching this?!

7 Months

Where has the time gone? Our little chubster is 7 months old today! This has been a really fun month with her now that she can sit on her own and has been eating solids like a champ. Here are some highlights:

  1. Sat in a highchair, shopping cart, and a swing for the first time.
  2. Rolled from her back to her tummy.
  3. Had her first Halloween and dressed up as an elephant (and had a twin too!)
  4. Tasted apple, carrot, butternut squash, cauliflower, pears, turkey, avocado, and plum.
  5. Started eating and self-feeding puffs!
  6. Started holding and drinking from a straw cup.
  7. Has been vocalizing more with a variety of sounds: ma, na, la, ga, mm, da, e, o, a, and lots of raspberries and squeals.
  8. Learned how to lean over and crane her neck to get a better look at something (usually around something blocking her view).
  9. Started going to the Children’s Creative Museum and Story/Song Time at the library with Mirian.
  10. Found her feet and can grab them while she’s on her back.
  11. Started standing in a bouncer and goes CRAZY!!
  12. Sleep has been not as consistent with her but she still sleeps at least 7-8 hours straight most nights.

Phew! This was a really big month of milestones and new experiences! I also weighed her this evening and she’s a whopping 20 lbs, 13 ounces now. She’s wearing 9-month, 12-month, and 12-18 month clothes and moved up to Size 3 diapers too.

It’s been so much fun to watch you grow and learn, Baby Girl! Happy 7 Months!! We love you so very much!

Turbo Ladybug

Janie was so funny today in her ladybug.  She was holding onto the antennae as if she was taking off and having a great time.  It also looked as if she was playing with the “controls” to turn on the turbo-boosters or something.  This kid cracks me up. **Turn on the sound if you wanna hear her squeal with excitement.**
