Seriously? Has it really been seven months since she was born? Seven months (and the baby weight still lingers) feels like it was just yesterday, but that many months is so much time in their first year.
Ad continues to be an angel child. I mean, I really don't think babies come any better than her. She sleeps great, eats great, fusses very little, and smiles lots. She's such a little chub, and I want to bite her cheeks all the time! She's just so squeezeable! Love love love it!
She has the most delightful happy squeal! As I've said in previous months, she doesn't really laugh, she squeals. And we think it's adorable! She's started babbling a lot more too, saying da da, and ba ba all the time. I feel a little slighted that she doesn't say ma ma yet. Hello... I do everything for her! : )
She eats everything we put in front of her, and I can't tell if she's got a favorite, because she scarfs everything down. On thanksgiving she tasted a bit of pumpkin pie, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and mashed potatoes. And recently I shared a cherry popsicle with her. Love I tell you! She couldn't get enough of the popsicle, not that it's any surprise. What kid doesn't love a good red popsicle?
She's getting stronger and is almost sitting up completely unassisted. I blame the fact that she isn't doing it perfectly by now on myself. I don't put her on the ground enough... mostly because my neurotic side comes out and gets disgusted by all the germs that are crawling around on the floor. Oh well. She'll get there eventually.
Addie hates being on her belly. If I want her to have any tummy time at all, I have to sit right beside her right side to keep her from rolling onto her back, otherwise as soon as she's on her tummy, she'll turn onto her back. And she always only turns onto her right side. Dunno why.
She's really into blowing lots of spit bubbles these says, and I think it's so cute. Makes me chuckle to hear it over the monitor in the morning.
Her hair is still a strawberry brown/blonde, and it's growing everywhere except for the huge bald spot on the back of her head. Her eyes are still unknown. Not blue, but sometimes they're brown or green or a grayish color... or all at once.
Addie has the chubbiest thighs to go with her cheeks. I want to bite them all the time too.
Not sure what she weighs this month... but I'm pretty sure she's still close to last months weight.
She is so so entertained by anything that Dean does. If he stands in front of her while he drinks from his sippy cup she squeals and smiles and yells. And he is so great with her. He still adores her and loves to keep her happy. If she cries when I leave the room, he jumps up to talk to her so she'll stop crying. I love that they love eachother!!! I hope it lasts forever! They way he takes her hand and puts it to his cheek is priceless.
