Happy 7 Months!

Here's what's happening with Emily at 7 months:

 - She wears mainly 6-12 month clothes, but can still fit into several of her 3-6 month outfits.

 - She's eating solid foods (about a 1/2 jar of the stage 2 foods and cereal) (Wahoo!)  3 times a day and having 6 oz. of formula every 3-4 hours.  I almost think she likes veggies better than fruit (is this my daughter?).

 - She reaches out to us anytime she wants us to pick her up. I love this!

 - She repeats "la, la" over and over.  We're still waiting for "mama and dada."

 - She's doing so well at sitting up.  She's completely stable now.

 - She rolls all over the place.  That's her means of mobility.  If she wants something across the room, she just rolls to it.

 - She makes this loud squeal noise when she's excited.  It reminds me of what a baby dinosaur would sound like (not that I've ever heard a baby dinosaur, but kind of what one sounds like on Jurassic Park).

 - Her personality is totally coming out.  She loves to laugh. . .all the time.  She cracks herself up.  She will literally just be sitting still and all of a sudden just starts laughing out loud.  It's the cutest sound ever and it melts my heart!

 - Still no teeth!  I can't believe it's taking so long!  I feel like she's been teething for months!  Everything and anything goes straight to her mouth.  I'm hoping soon that a couple of teeth will break through.  Her poor little cheeks are constantly red from all the drool that are on them.

 - She's still on the acid reflux medicine.  We tried to take her off of it for a week after her 6 month checkup, well after 4 days. . .she was back on. 

- Naptime is still pretty much non-existent. Literally, she only sleeps in 20-30 min. increments on the weekends. She is so afraid she's going to miss something that no matter how tired she is. . .she will fight it. This can lead to one very cranky baby.

 - She really is overall an extremely happy baby!  What a difference acid reflux medicine and some gentle formula can make.
