Ellie Kate & Emma Rose: 7 months

Time is flying by!! Baby bear turned 7 months on the 11th. 7 months sounds so old!!!!! Only 5 more months until she is a one year old, oh my I love wathing her grow up but I sure do miss those helpless baby days when I could just hold her & love on her without her trying to escape my grip.

Weight: 15lbs 2ozs

Appearence & personality: fuzzy blonde hair on top of her head that sticks straight up but the back is still bald & light brown, chubby rosey cheeks, funny baby talk, when she's excited, she pants, serious at times, very curious, laid back, shy around new people, but silly with people she knows

Milestones: sitting up, rocking & reaching forward, transfering toys from one hand to the other, shaking most everything, standing up on her own while holding on to something for a minute or two!, using the sippy cup with help, drinking out of a big person cup with help (she loves this, she laps the water or milk up like a dog), sitting in a highchair, & banging things

Food likes: oatmeal, bananas, applesauce, sweet potatoes, green beans, & carrots

Food dislikes: peas!!

Loves: Daddy, Teapot that talks, bandstand toy ( she dances - bouncing up/down on her bottom & smiles when it plays music), wiggle toy that makes a silly noise, standing up, The Argosy of Atlanta commerical - everytime this commercial is on she turns her head & smiles, when it is over she goes back to what she was doing, touching people's faces and laughing (which sounds like heavy breathing) at silly noises that Mommy & Daddy make

Mommy thoughts: Ellie has been fussy the last few days! She has been waking during the night & taking very short naps. Her communication has been whining & a weird scream. Took her to the Dr. yesterday & she shined a flashlight on her red gums that had a little white. The glimpse of white is two bottom teeth that are trying to make a debut, so that is to blame for all the fussiness & weirdness. Last night she slept through the night again & today she has been napping well - fingers crossed that our rocky days are coming to an end!!

I had just reorganized the shelf behind her, so it looked different and someone was very concerned!!!

Cutie Pie!!! Thanks for my Babylegs Gigi (Jenn) - I needed a new pair!

After a few days of constant fussiness & short naps I had to resort to the T.V. to keep the bear happy for a few minutes while I tried to get some things done. Ellie was very entertained by The Wiggles!
