7 Months

    Dear June,

           Yep, another month has passed! 7 months old. You are just as cute as ever, and getting cuter! I think you really are the cutest baby ever. We just hope you left some cuteness for your siblings! 

June you are continuing to make everyday so much fun and exciting. I never knew watching you learn a new skill or hear you talk would be such highlights of my life. I love you. 

     Starting out for 7 months you are learning new things everyday. You are sitting on your own completely, and can stay that way for a while. You love being placed in front of your big basket of toys and go crazy with any toy that you choose. It's a game to see how quickly you can pull out every toy. 

     You are a great sleeper. You rub your little eyes when you are ready to go down, and start rambling on. You are still Sleeping through the night and we finally got your naps down. That was a little troublesome but you figured it out. Thank goodness! You are sleeping from about 7pm to 6:30am. The 6:30am was a little rough to get used to, but now Daddy gets to see you before he leaves for work, and it gets me up and going, so it's actually made for better days. You take 2 long naps a day and usually a little cat nap in the morning in your stroller while we're running. 

     You are going through a separation anxiety phase right now, where no one is good enough but your mom. Sometimes daddy will do, but you would love to be in my arms at all times. I do love holding you, but I do have to get things done, so don't ask my why, but if I put you in front of mine or your daddy's shoe's, you don't mind being on the floor. You really love playing with shoes. Playing with you is so much fun! You are starting to interact a lot and responding to things we do. You laugh so hard when daddy dances for you. Even if you are in the worst mood, you start laughing hysterically, to the point you can't breath when daddy dances. I adore it. You still are enjoying sucking on fabric and playing with Ranger. You are starting to get the best of Ranger, pulling on his hair, grabbing his toys from him... It's a constant battle between you two.  You LOVE water! Splashing in the bathtub and in the pool make you so happy, which is great, because we want you to grow up to love swimming! 

     We finally started you on solids, and boy do you love them! We thought you would start at 4 months, but with lots of opinion, lots of research and recommendation for your Ped to wait till 6 months, we decided to wait.  It's been so fun trying new foods with you. The faces you make are priceless, and  I always have to have the camera ready with a new food. You eat very well and so far haven't had any problems digestion wise. You are an eating, pooping machine! 

     As far as movement goes, you are flipping back and forth, but are quicker to roll from back to belly. You are scooting all over, but still haven't figured out the hands and knees position yet. No rush, but it's still fun to watch you scoot on your belly. 

     It's been so great so far! I don't know how it keeps getting better, but it does. 

I love you Juney Toons! 

    Love mom.
