7 months

i cannot believe how much babies change or develop from one month to the next! it's mind blowing and so cool!

selah is eating solids now! she is eating a handful of veggies and fruits. her currents faves right now are pears and squash. i gave up on making my own pureed food. she wasn't liking it at all, and i bought some organic baby food just to give a try and she could not get enough of it. so, that's what we are doing. she eats about two meals a day. a typical breakfast looks like some oatmeal and a fruit. dinner is usually oatmeal and a veggie. i have also been giving her some whole milk organic baby yogurt, but i am starting to wonder if it bothers her tummy. i am going to be testing that theory the rest of the week, but she tends to spit up more when she has it....she also eats some puffs and yogurt melts and loves them both!

she is army crawling all over the place. she loves to inch to the door stoppers and the fire place, which makes me super nervous. she has almost gotten up on all fours the last few days. it would not shock me if she was full on crawling by christmas. she also continues to roll. she moves with tons of determination. i think she gets frustrated because she wants to move faster. faster like everyone around her.

she continues to be the loudest baby in know. she sequels and yells at the top of her lungs at times. it can be ear piercing! don't know what to do about that one...

she sits up beautifully and for long periods of time.

she still wakes up pretty early. she is getting up some days as early as 4:30am, but will nurse and go back to bed until around 7:30am. we are trying to break her getting up so dang early, but i think she's just hungry....it just means our whole day looks weird and different each day-especially getting up at 4:30.

she is nursing about 5 times a day. she is super distracted and only seems to take about 3-5 mins on each side, depending on what time a day it is. longer in the morning and at night.

she has started to give intentional open mouth kisses!!!!!

she loves her little glow sea horse my sister gave to her. it lights up and plays music and she likes to fall asleep with it.

she does not like it when i leave the room. as each day passes we have more and more rough periods of our day when it comes to this.

she is not liking to be in one place much. she isn't liking her exsersaucer, jumper, or car seat these days. girl wants to move!

as i sit and write this i am amazed how fast seven months go by. i cannot believe it. as i sit and type this she's actually almost 8 months! =) and as i type this i am looking at the christmas tree with the ornament we were given last christmas that revealed she was a girl....she is fun, feisty, curious, determined, loving, and sweet.
