Yes, Amelia, you are
SEVEN months old today! You have
two teeth making their big debut! And, you are now vertical... well, almost! You're sitting up for long periods of time before you get tired and fall forward (or sideways or backward). You still love to kick your legs - hard! (Sometimes you wake us up in the middle of the night just kicking!) You are also SO cuddly lately! It started with your six month shots after which you needed some extra TLC. You've started falling asleep on Mommy's chest (a sweet activity usually reserved for Daddy, but I feel very lucky to be able to enough these snuggles now, too). The doctor gave us the "ok" to start introducing you to more than one food ingredient at a time for your meals, so we've all been having a lot of fun with that - just look at the long list below! Peanut butter, puffs, jalapenos and more! You met the daughter of my two best friends from college, which was the most wonderful weekend. We hope to visit them in Boston next year (as well as my cousin's three boys who live on the Cape)! We got a blow-up baby pool, but haven't had much time to enjoy it yet - hopefully next month we'll be able to find some more time for some wet fun. And you also have some new toys to start to explore. Every day is a fascinating new experience with you. We love seeing you discover, grow, giggle, show affection, show confusion, and show many other exciting emotions.
LOVE YOU SO.
