7 Months Old!

It's that time again, another monthly update. Let's see what our girl is up to at 7 months :)

A couple days after her first tooth broke through, the second bottom one did as well! Now Missy has two little teeth and they look so adorable! She is putting her new teeth to use too, eating toast and pancake... noodles and peaches. She loves table food and we have started to slowly let her try things! I got her some puffs the other day and she tried one. I broke it in half first, but she did well with it! She loves cereal mixed with fruit, like baby banana's or apple sauce/pears! She loves her veggies for the most part and still isn't a huge fan of meats! I gave her a sippy cup the other night and let her try drinking juice from it. She seems confused at first, but once she got the hang of it, she loved it!

 

Her very first ‘Artwork’ from daycare

 

Sitting up so well :) 

 

She just got her ears pierced and did really well. I felt so bad because she cried so hard, but once she calmed down, she was fine and she looks so pretty with her earrings!! Here are the pictures from Tuesday at Dr. Miller’s office. Amanda took before and after pictures for me…

 

If you look close in this one, you can see her teeth!!!!! ;)

 

Right before he pierced…..

 

And after :(            

 

 

 

I felt so horrible making her go through the pain of piercing her ears…. but hopefully she will thank me later! I mean, she got her DTap last Friday and didn't even cry or tear up! I was so nervous about the shot, but she was such a brave girl and she didn't even get a reaction from it. The man at the doctor’s office who pierced her ears said it doesn’t hurt, but I beg to differ. How can it not? Oh well, its done now and she looks super cute with them in!

As for shots, we don't have to go back for more until her 1 year, Thank God! That’s a nice little break. When I look at the months on the calendar…It's hard to believe she will be 1 so soon though!! 

As far as development goes she is sitting up with ease and has great balance. She will even reach for toys and go from sitting up to her belly or knees. Crawling can't be too far away now.. we'll see :)

Like I said, I gave her puffs the other night and pieces of pancake... I broke them into tiny pieces and put them on her highchair table. She started reaching and trying to use the 'pincer' grasp to get the food!!!! It took me back to Carter's baby days when I saw her doing that!

She is still saying Dada all the time and sometimes you will hear her coo and say Maaaa'! Mostly just babbles though!

Her laugh is contagious, we all love to make her giggle and the one that really gets her going is her big brother! Now, she's even started to 'bounce' when something exciting happens and when you are holding her in the standing position, she will bounce too!

I am still having a hard time getting her to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time. She has had some good nights recently where she went about 4 hour stretch’s…. those were nice and hopefully she can keep it up!

 

I have some more pictures of her and her teeth to post… more to come soon!
