Addie at 7 Months

Addie came alive during her seventh month! She became a grabbing, wiggling, rolling little thing who couldn't sit still if she tried. For example...

She rolls over and changes directions so quickly she'll get herself tangled up in her activity mat. And forget about changing a diaper easily anymore.

She can't sit still in her Bumbo and eat her meals. She stretches herself as far as she can go to reach a desired object, grabs it, and then usually throws it on the ground. Your cup is not safe around her- trust me!

She smiles ALL the time.

She thinks Collins is super funny and laughs at her the most- especially when she gets right in her face and talks nonsense.

She has become an expert sitter and has to practice all the time- including while taking her bottle. If she is laying down to take her bottle she doesn't lay still- she'll throw her leg up in the air and play with her toes or grab at my hair or jewelry.

She really likes solid food- especially sweet potatoes, yogurt and squash.

Also during her seventh month she slept through the night for the FIRST time. Sigh...and then didn't do it again. :) Addie and her sleep issues...we're currently going through sleep training and it's going a little better, but we're still waiting for that wonderful night of perfect sleep!

Addie had another big milestone this month- she got baptized! More photos to come.

The "7" sticker never even made it to her tummy. She snatched it from my hand and put it in her mouth immediately.

And my favorites from the month...
