July - 7 mos old

Growing up so fast. She can sit on our own for the most part. She is trying so hard to crawl, she gets up on all fours  and rocks. She is still pretty mobile though, she scoots backwards and rolls to get into things.  Oma & Opa just visited over the 4th of July. She is eating a variety of baby foods now and seems to really enjoy mealtimes.

We got her to sleep in her room in her crib at night, but hates to be in it any other time it seems. Wakes up some at night though. Really likes a bath just before bedtime, and I think that calming lavender baby soap seems to work. 


She has started to stay awake during church, so we will have to try the nursery soon but she doesn't like being held by other people, so that should be an experience. It took a week for her to let her grandparents hold her.


She loves her playtime with Daddy. She loves to knock over her toy basket, the basket is just another toy to her. She babbles all the time, sometimes it even sounds like words. We got a stroller, so that when it gets cooler we can head to the neighborhood park.
