Seven Happy Months

Just a little late in getting these pictures posted. There were so many sweet shots from our blanket session that it was hard to pick!

Ever is now:

• scooting across the floor - and fast. She pushes herself around with her toes. She loves crawling around the floor 'combing' the carpet with her hands. It looks like she's searching the fibers for any hidden snacks. :)

• eating some solids. Her first official solid food was on the seven month mark...some frozen mango. She's had some banana, some scrambled eggs with zucchini and onion, sweet potato, a bit of a peach, a little of my oatmeal, and some frozen fruit/yogurt popsicle. She still tends to make a disgusted face when she gets something in her mouth...but she keeps at it. It's fun to include her in our mealtimes but definitely more work cleaning up all the bits of things she's wiped off the tray onto the floor.

• teething! She got her first tooth two days after she turned 7 months and the second one cut through yesterday. So far she hasn't bitten me, and it still amazingly calm...but her slightly elevated levels of noise indicate that it does, in fact, hurt. Poor dear. My chin is her favorite teething toy. Poor me. :)

• Figured out how to scream at a level that might cause ear damage. Happy, angry, impatient...she's pulled it out for every occasion.

She's such an incredible light. The gift that having a daughter is has only begun to dawn on me recently. But trust me...lots of thankfulness around her because of this little one.

Happy 7 months Ever bug!
