I'm Seven Months!!

Look at you sweet Miss E!! You are growing so much! And it seems like you wake up each morning and decide to do a new trick. And then I make you perform said trick over and over for my sheer delight. It's kinda like you are my party trick baby...hmmm...maybe I could take you around to soirees and have you amaze unsuspecting guests with your brilliant abilities. I'm sure you would be a hit!

OK, enough daydreaming, on to the point of this post...

Happy 7 Month Birthday Ella!

In yo' face homegirl!! (said with slightly thug accent)

Wow, that frog is looking about the same size as E

Hahahahahahahaha....

Just the cutest little piggytails you have ever seen dahlin'

So sweet and innocent...yeah you try changing the diaper of this wiggly wee one

Ohmmgeee...That is HILARIOUS Mama!!

Weighing 16 lbs, 2 oz and 26.5 inches long Ella:

Rolls over both ways now...even when on the changing table

Pulls herself up from a seated position

Still waiting on those teeth! They are right beneath her gum looking like they are going to pop out any second

Likes to eat banana, mango, blueberries, squash, sweet potato, apple, carrots, oatmeal, apricots, pears and prunes

Will drink from her sippy cup if she feels like it

Laughs a lot at the most unusual things (me yelling at the cat, Tia jumping around, the dogs barking)

Says dada, mama, baba and ya all.the.time and knows what they mean. She will look at dada and say it, look at me and say mama

Reaches out for me to hold her when she is in someone else's arms (melt my heart)
Is still a very outgoing baby. She smiles and laughs at just about anybody.

Walks with our help and takes off practically at a run

Will walk to things then reach out and hold herself up on them

Almost scooch-crawling, she's going backwards right now

Pushes herself back up to a sitting position from being on her belly

Still loves to look at herself in the mirror and recognizes that it's her

Gives baby hugs when sitting in your lap, she reaches out and grabs your clothes and then buries her face in your neck
Is better about napping, in fact, right now she is actually napping IN her crib, not a carseat or nap nanny. I'm desperately trying to get her ready for Hawaii

Can't wait to see what's next Sweet Pea!!
