Seven Months Old

Where do I even begin? Our little Ellie is getting to be such a big girl & I can't believe it's been 7 months since we welcomed her into our lives! She's learning to do SO many new things and she thinks she's a big girl. This past month we've been able to do so many amazing things and have some fun experiences with Ellie. Even though she won't remember them, it will be fun to tell her all about our summer in New York when she grows up!

Here's some things about Ellie at Seven Months:

• She LOVES attention
• Loves to crawl, sit, crawl and sit in circles. So funny. I'll have to try to get it on video soon.
• She loves to pull herself up on the couch, chair legs, or anything she can get a hold of and just stand there.
• She's wearing some 3-6 month clothes and 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers
• She is getting really good at saying "Dada"
• She throws fits like nobody's business
• She can drink out of a sippy with help
• She likes to feed herself the little gerber puffs
  
• She's tried just about every veggie and fruit of baby food they make and loves pretty much all of them.
• She's sleeping through the night about 2-3 times a week, but she hasn't been going to bed until 9 or 10 at night, which is no fun
• She takes 2 naps a day
• She LOVES to hold/hug/eat her Teddy Bear we bought her from F.A.O Schwarz.
• She is learning how to play peek-a-boo and take my hands off my eyes for me
• She loves to pinch (OUCH!) and grab my hair & her hair
• She loves to watch TV (I know, so terrible...but she gets SUPER mad if you won't let her watch whatever show is on)
• She is learning the concept of walking with help & is going to be a lot of trouble in a couple months!
• Doesn't get sunburned. The lucky child got David's skin not mine!
  

Ellie is such a happy baby most of the time and she's lots of fun! We love her to death and we love watching her grow up. It's so fun to see her little personality shine through and see how she's like David and me so much.
