7 Months Old!

Callie Beth is 7 months old.  We think she has changed so much in the last month.  What a fun little girl!  She is such a sweet heart!

Here is what is going on with her these days:

weight…..15 pounds….20th percentile

• She is trying to crawl.  She will go from sitting to getting on all fours.  She rocks back and forth.  She tries to go for a toy but hasn’t been able to coordinate her arms and legs.  She moves backwards and spins around pretty well though.  We are really close to having our lives change even more.
• She has her two bottom teeth.  It seems as though she is working on the next ones.  The drooling has turned on full force in the last week.
• She has a bunch of new sounds but the ones you hear a lot are: Da Da, Nae Nae, and Hi.
• Her favorite thing to do is jump (still).  When ever you hold her, she wants to be standing on your lap jumping.  All you need to do is balance her but she does the jumping.  She actually bends her little legs and bounces.  When she needs a break, she sticks it.  She will let you know with her grunting and growling when she is ready to go again.
• She is eating all kinds of fruits and veggies.  We have not found any food she does not like.  She will not take juice yet.  She just spits it out. 
• She can stand pretty well now.  She just needs to hold on to something to balance herself.
• She is sleeping pretty much the same.  From 6:30-6:30 with waking up once to eat and going right back to sleep. Our pediatrician said we could try to get rid of that middle of the night feeding since she wasn’t finishing her bottle then.  Ever since he said that, she finishes her bottle like she is starving.  She must have known what was about to happen.  :)
• She loves older kids.  She just laughs and has so much fun with them!
• Her hair is really coming in fast.  It is a very light brown.
• Her eyes are still blue.
• She picks up her arms for you to pick her up. She will also stiff arm you if she doesn’t like what you are doing.
• She helps you get her dressed now.  She will push her arms through on her sleeves to put a shirt on and when you are taking it off, she will pull her arms down for you.
• She can officially get out of her Bumbo!  Sneaky little thing!
