7 Months!

To my beautiful girl on your seventh month of life,
Wow! I can not believe that you are seven months old today. You are able to do so many things. You are a crawler now! Sometimes you don't pull your cute belly all the way off the ground and we can hear it sliding. It is adorable. Everything about you is adorable and sweet. We just went to the beach last week and you loved it! You had so much fun playing in the pool, playing in the ocean and playing in the sand. Daddy is already planning on taking you ever summer because you liked it so well. Daddy is not normally a beach person because his skin burns a little easier than ours does but he is willing to sacrifice for his girl :) I am still lucky enough to be nursing you. I enjoy our special time together. During the past month you have started to hug mommy when I pick you up at the sitters house. Daddy has taught you a new word. You enjoy saying the word "boom." For whatever reason you refuse to say dah again or to even attempt momma. I just know that when I hear the word momma come from your mouth I will melt just like I did the first time you smiled at me. You and daddy have screaming matches now, I think dad enjoys them more than you do. You also think that daddy is the funniest person around and laugh at all of his jokes and his silly faces. Anytime he fakes sneezes you just laugh and laugh. When momma sneezes you just look at me like I'm silly. You still have an absolutely fabulous personality. You smile ALL the time and at EVERYBODY. The only person that you have not smiled at was a waitress at Hooters while we were in Myrtle Beach. You just kept looking at her like she was stupid. This is your normal MO but following the look you usually smile; not this time though. It was pretty funny. Sometimes I can not bare to be away from you and I miss you so much when I am. I love to wake up and see your smiling face and to hear you laugh. There is nothing better! As you are getting older you seem to need your sleep and get a little grumpy (sometimes) with daddy when he wakes you up. You love to sleep actually. How special are we that our baby is the one baby the loves sleeping during the night and now you even nap for us! When you were small you didn't like to nap at all. Mommy has started planning your first ever birthday party. It is early I know but I like to plan - daddy doesn't but he will for you. Daddy makes lots of exceptions for you, his little girl. Daddy is a great daddy and you love him very much. You love to see him walk through the door when he comes home every day after work. We have finally been able to get you to eat a whole thing of baby food at one sitting. You tried a pickle for the first time a couple days ago and you really thought the juice was good. You make the same face each time you taste something new, it is the "this is icky" face but then you continue to eat it and like it.
You don't do raspberries much anymore, now you just hiss. I think you learned that from when I tickled you and I make a funny sound. Your belly is very ticklish by the way. Granny finally agrees with me that you are teething. We thought they would be through the gums last week but that didn't happen. Luckily we have not had a bad time with your teeth. Sometimes you get a fever and you chew on your fingers a lot but you rarely get fussy over it and you haven't had diarrhea or any other symptoms. You are just too good of a baby! Please stay this way. You are growing so fast. You are my sweet and silly girl and I love you more than anything!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!
-MOMMA!
