Emma is 7 Months Old!

Emma- You are SEVEN months old! Time just keeps going by faster and faster.

I'm not sure how much you weigh, but it has to be close to 17lbs and you just keep growing! You wear size 3 diapers and size 9-12 month clothes. Really it's mostly 12 months though, you are growing like a weed. I'm really wondering how long you are even going to be able to wear most of these clothes.

You take two pretty good naps a day and sleep from 700 until at least 5 the next morning. You are a great sleeper and I'm not complaining on those night you wake up at 2 for a bottle...sometimes you are just a little hungry. (Honestly - I kind of like the middle of the night feedings. It's so nice and quiet and you just smile at me).

You are just so sweet and happy! You love to be held and whine and cry until we pick you up. You really love sitting up and playing with your toys. You have figured out how to "fall" gracefully and then roll to your belly and push up high on your arms. You still like the jumperoo and exersaucer, but not for as long of a time frame.

You REALLY like eating. You have 2 TBSP of cereal with fruit for breakfast, eat a veggie & 1/2 fruit for lunch, and then 2 TBSP of cereal with fruit and whole veggie with meat for dinner. You have 4 bottles in there too. You are starting to get people food too. So far you've tried toast, mashed potatoes, amish noddles, chicken and pizza crust...you love them all!!! Plus now you are dricking water from a sippy... getting way to big on me.

You think your brother is the best thing ever and now that you are getting bigger - Jeff is starting to play with you and it makes me SO happy to see you interact. He likes to sit in the car and talk to you and you just smile and laugh. I can tell you think he is the greatest thing in the world. I hope you always love each other.

You are a MOVER! You roll everywhere now. If I put you in the floor to play and walk off for even 2 minutes I will come back to you being somewhere totally different. Changing your diaper lately is like wrestling an alligator. You do NOT like to be still!! Last night I put you in your bed and when I came in to cover you up, you were at the other end of the crib.

I think you are happy being on the go. You LOVE riding in the stroller - you never fuss if we go for walks. Most of the time if we go for a run, you'll fall asleep on me.

I am just CRAZY CRAZY in love with you! Your smile just melts my heart and puts a smile on my face. I love being your mommy!!!
