Seven months

Grace Mae - you are SEVEN months old!!! 
You weigh 14lbs and 5oz and are about 25 inches long
You are wearing 6 month  clothes now for the most part. 
There are still a few 3 month onsies that fit you.
You wear a size 2 diaper....but I think this will be the last box of those!   
You had a very busy month! 
Oh...big news...you got your first tooth! 
It finally busted thru on the day after you turned  6 months! And I think it was just a few days later you slightly um, bit your mum.
Nursing moms will understand my pain. Youch!

Christmas was fun...but you will read all about that in another post.
You also had your first Ohio State Bowl game this month.
It wasn't a fun game to watch and you probably heard Mommy and Daddy 
yelling a lot at the television. Hopefully next season is better!
You started eating fruits and vegetables this month...and you love them!
You haven't spit anything out yet...I'm so proud of my non-picky eater!
You sometimes try to put the spoon in your mouth, 
but for the most part are happy with me feeding you. 
You eat your cereal for breakfast, normally some fruit for 
lunch and vegetables for dinner. 
You love sweet potatoes and pears the best!
You are doing much better at sitting up and like to sit and watch the dogs.
We still have to put pillows or the boppy around you since you like to slide down.
You are so nosey and want to see whats going on, so its been good
to see you showing interest in what we are doing!
You are trying to crawl a little, kinda army crawling I guess you would call it.
You kinda lean to one side and shimmy your way to where you want to go.
You don't stay there to often and before we know it you are rolled onto your back again. 
You still like to play in your bouncer too. You are touching the ground now and sometimes bounce but
most of the time you just play with your toys or try to turn yourself around.
We are going to start giving you a little extra formula along with the milk you get from Mommy. 
It's not going to taste as good, but you need some more liquids and act like you want more.
I'm okay with that, as long as you are getting filled up and 
still getting Mommy's antibodies first...all is good. 
You are such a happy girl, you sometimes have your moments of screaming or fussing. 
All babies do, and I 'm for certain that you are in the upper percentile of non-fussy babies.
We really are lucky you have such a good personality and are a happy baby.
We love you Gracie!
