7 Months Old!

Emily turned 7 months old on Friday, so exciting!

I know I keep saying every month that she is growing and changing but I still can't believe how quickly it happens. I swear each day brings on new and exciting changes. She has started "talking" a lot more in the past few weeks, now even saying "ma, ma". Of course she has no idea that I am "ma, ma" and she usually says it when she is sitting in her chair ready to eat, but I don't care, it's still so fun to hear! Hopefully "da da" will be next.

Speaking of sitting in her chair, Emmy has been eating like a champ, now up to 3 meals a day. She still LOVES avocado, but has now added carrots, apples, pears, peas, butternut squash and sweet potato to the mix. She's not a fan of butternut squash or sweet potato, but we'll come back to them again in a few days. Thankfully her tooth is growing so we'll be able to explore more foods soon, today I actually think I saw another one coming in...I'll keep you posted!

Emily is also moving around so much more than she was a few weeks ago. I have a feeling she will be crawling before I know it. I am certainly not ready for that! I guess we should start baby proofing the house. For now I a will enjoy the days of putting her in one place knowing that if I step away for a moment she'll be where I left her when I return.

We have started to make some new mom & baby friends which has been great. Emily LOVES to see her friends, especially trying to grab at their hair and eyes (I guess I'll have to work on that one). They stare at each other, hold hands and share toys, it's very cute. Plus for me, it's so wonderful to have adult conversations every now and then.

Lastly, I must say that the little lady has also turned very cuddly. In fact this morning she took a 45 minute nap on me which she hasn't done since she was tiny. It's the sweetest feeling just having her lay her head down wanted to snuggle up close. Ahhhh, I wish she wasn't napping now so I could give her a squeeze.
