from this little bitty....
to this HAPPY little thing!!
what? you lookin at me??
the little miss is SEVEN MONTHS!! and my oh my is she a joy... she is EVER curious and always busy busy! i have to watch her reach because she is QUICK! (we've lost a full bowl of cereal and milk, countless cups of water, and almost lost a few dinner plates.) her favorite thing is for us to help her chase the dogs around.... she really has a blast of it and kicks her legs and waves her arms like crazy! just laughing away~ we pretty much have a rowdy girl. if ever she's in a fussy mood, a little outside time can solve that... just like her momma and papa!! we sit on a blanket on our deck and await daddy to come home... one of our favorite times. she just gets so excited when daddy comes home! lately it's been fun for her to recognize other babies in the room because when she sees them she gets so happy and starts talking to them. (she definitely got the social part from her dad :)) one of her best gifts from her momma is the infamous scowl~ she can glare anyone down with it and not care in the least that you are acting like a fool right in front of her to squeak a smile out. she only smiles if she wants to :) she is so determined! and if she can't get her body to do what she wants it to do, she stiffins her arms and throws them straight down, stiffins her legs, tightens her teeny butt muscles, and points her toes grunting in frustration... she will laugh if she sees me laughing at her being frustrated and learning how to use her little body, but then remembers "oh yeah, i'm frustrated!" and repeats the position... clearly she comes with opinions.
she is itty bitty, still in the 25th percentile~barely doubled her birth weight, but has been sitting up since 5 months old.... she is one strong little thing :) she is THE best to find awake in the morning. just jabbering away, waiting for someone to come get her~ sometimes hollering for someone to rescue her. when i turn on her light and acknowledge she's awake, she's already smiling from ear to ear in her bed, staring at the door anticipating her greeting :) (i should be the nice wife and share this morning greeting with her daddy who only gets it on weekends, but i can't help but race him to her crib side anyway on weekends.) she loves to sit up or lounge on her back.... lounge meaning, lay back and chew on her toes. still not interested in tummy time, but can roll from her tummy to her back to solve that problem... and she's perfectly content being on her back. no interest whatsoever in rolling from back to tummy. she always has to be touching something and is so dainty with her hands. with the most gentle of care, she'll take her hands and slowly touch what curiosities are before her. when i'm sitting next to her she just pats my leg to confirm her momma is still right there. and if that doesn't convince her, she'll look up at me to visually confirm it :) when she sits and plays with her toys and can't see me in the same room, she doesn't cry, she just hollers until i respond, then BEAMS from ear to ear, so pleased that i didn't leave her. (melt my butter :))
she loves to bang her toys and make some serious noise! she often helps us distress our kitchen table with her clanging away. my favorite thing is to laugh with her. if i happen to laugh at her for something or another, she looks at me and starts laughing with me, like, "we're laughing together, this is fun!" when momma needs a moment's break, daddy is quick to step in and play play play.... and work on her acrobatics... she loves it and i can imagine will only love it more and more. if she becomes bored with her toys, we can sit her in front of a mirror and she has A BLAST!! thinks her reflection is one of THE most fun things! she LOVES LOVES bath time. she can sit in the tub forEVER, but when it's time to get out, that's not so much her favorite... a quick peek at the mirror at her cute baby reflection solves that problem though and she's all smiles again!!
