7 Months New [ April 25, 2013 ]

Health: only thing healthwise would be her toofies. I noticed one making an appearance on bottom left then a week or so later i noticed one coming in on the bottom right. She's been very fussy and difficult to soothe or put to bed.

Eating: baby picked up her first puff and put it in her mouth! hooray big girl!

Sleeping: it's not the best - she's sometimes inconsolable with these damn teeth... once she's down she's sleeping 8-11hrs a night - even though it doesn't feel that long for me because I don't sleep very sound anymore!

Likes: Eating :), showee time, pippy, talking, giggling {sometimes for no reason at all!}, standing, dolly, bouncing in her jumper, truffles, crawling, being tickled, puffs!, being 'chased' (i just pretend like im coming to get her and she tries to scamper away), peek-a-boo, dancing

Dislikes: loud noises or being told no. which we very rarely say "no" because we don't want her to hear no all the time so we use words like, danger, hot, leave it, i dont think so, absolutely not, not for babies, you can't have that, etc.

New things and firsts: stands holding on to block zoo toy, goes from tummy to sitting on her butt, 'kisses', teefs, grabbing her stuffy [truffles] and pulls it to her face to give him a kissy, calling out 'mama' alot!, took out pip said 'dada' and put it back in!, plays peek-a-boo in the mirror with herself, takes stuff out of picnic basket and puts it back in, we found her sitting up in her crib the same day we decided to move it to the lowest level, daddy said go to mommy and she turned to me and put her arms up for me to pick her up!, clicking her tongue, lots of head dancing, grabs clothes to be picked up, stood up by herself in the crib annnnnnnnnnnd drumroll please........CRAWLING!!!!!!

Best Moment: probably getting my first slobbery, open-mouthed face rub! i like to think it is her version of a smooch! :) orrrrr maybe her crawling!!! it's a toss up! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her crawl out of the corner of my eye - it's like i did that cartoon eye-rub thing when you can't believe your eyes! I screamed for bru to come see and sure enough she did it again! it wasn't perfect crawling but it was getting her from point A to point B. And right then and there - our lives changed in an instant. Baby's on the MOVE!!!!
