Ella at 7 months

This little girl has hit her 7 month mark. I can’t believe it. About 3 weeks ago, she was 18.5 pounds which puts her in the 95%. When I find the paper from the doctor, I’ll fill in the rest. I know her height was in the 90% and her head below 25%. Weird that my children have small heads. Nice, but weird. At this point, her accomplishments are:

rocking on all four’s

Looking when her name is called

Rolling every direction possible along with army crawling

Trying to push herself up to sitting position

  • Sitting, although not long.
  • Blowing raspberries
  • Smacking her lips
  • Feeding herself with hand to mouth (not able to open hand and eat from it yet)
  • Passing items between hands
  • Chew everything
  • Belly laughs and giggles
  • Yell to let you know she wants something. She definitely loves her own voice
  • Loves to watch her older brother
  • Will stand if you hold her hands
  • Will take steps forward if guided and held by you
  • Sleeps through the night, usually about 8 pm till 7:30ish am (at least I do, so I hope she is)
  • Trying really hard to crawl, but can get to whatever she wants by army scooting
  • Will eat pretty much any solid (fruits and vegetables) if hungry, but starting to feed real food. She loves graham crackers and rice cakes.

Almost every one comments on her cheeks. I’ve had people walking by my car as I’m getting her out, and stop to say, “Look at those cheeks!” She is a pretty content baby, and loves attention. We already have a little diva on our hands.
