7 months old!

I'm seven months old today! I was very excited to see the poochy in the corner.

Sometimes I lick my lips.

The ceiling fan was very interesting.

-I have brown eyes and brown hair (not much of it!). I am a little over 16 pounds and a little over 26 inches. I have two teeth. My first one came through July 21st and my second one finally popped through August 21st. I am at the end of my 3-6 months clothes phase and fit into some 12-month clothes depending on the brand (so mostly I wear 6-9 months).

-I like to eat applesauce, pears, or apples&blueberries for breakfast and peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, or carrots for dinner (each one mixed with baby cereal). All other times I get formula (Mommy got too stressed out and her milk dried up, so I haven't had breastmilk in almost two months) and sometimes Mommy's nice and gives me some juice (I like apple, apple-prune, and apple-carrot). I LOVE to drink water out of a cup. I do pretty well with a sippy cup (I can get it to my mouth, but usually don't tip it) and if you let me drink out of your cup, I lap it like a dog. I LOVE Gerber puffs and a couple weeks ago mastered getting them into my mouth all by myself.

-I love to be sung to, especially songs where you make me do hand motions (my favorite used to be "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands," but since there was a time that singing it became the only way to make me stop crying, I don't like it as much anymore, but it is still fun to clap my hands!). I like to be sung quiet songs while I am rocked to sleep. I have a favorite blankey that Mommy made for me years before I was born and I hug it like a teddy bear when I am in bed. I fall asleep best being rocked with my blankey or in my carseat in the car (but I only fall asleep in the car if I'm tired, otherwise I talk to myself or yell at you).

-I am going through a clingy I-only-want-Mommy phase, but I tolerate other people. I love to crawl all over the place (unless Mommy's around, then most of the time I just want her to hold me), I'm really good at moving my walker, and I pull myself to a stand on anything and everything available. I HATE having my face washed after I eat, but I don't mind it at all if I'm in the tub (aka, kitchen sink). I like my toys but I prefer cellphones and remote controls and anything new and interesting to explore. I rarely sit still for the camera, so Mommy couldn't get any decent ones today, but here's a good picture Daddy managed to snap while he was here last Friday!

My shirt says "Nobody puts Baby in the Corner." If you know what that's from, you win! Mommy got it for my cousin, Isla, and Aunt Becca gave it back to me since Isla's way too big for it now.

Happy Seven Months Old to Me!
