More than half a year old! (Seven months)

Seven months seems so long... More than half a year! Still the sweetest happiest baby ever. Sometimes stranger anxiety - most part like everyone. Makes your parents happy though that you calm down so easily when you come back to us. You really do love us!
Sitting up like a big girl. All of a sudden last week, you figured out how to crawl and pull yourself up to sit when you want - contort your body to do so, but don't seem to mind. And now, you're a pro at sitting to play. And excited still to eat books sadly.
I love my Daddy! Smiling when she sees us. Reaching for us. And changing our mind - hold me Mommy, now Daddy, ummm back to Mommy. You stayed with us in church on Sunday to not contaminate the healthy little babies. Actually, you behaved pretty well other than the squirminess. And enjoyed the man behind you who kept making faces at you. Mommy and Daddy love to hold you in church so everyone gets to see how adorable you are - very distracting from the lesson, however.
Sweet sick little girl - our first ear infection. Bad cough and congestion... showers and baths to clear you out (which you really enjoyed)... water in the ear... inner and outer ear infection. Went to Mommy's work to get some medicine. Fun to have a cuddly calm baby when sick. Not fun to cough until you puke all over Mommy - several times in one late night feeding. Daddy got lucky. And we put on our Texans jersey (although you look like a little boy) as we mourned the beginning of football season.
Mommy sure misses you - was gone two nights this week and felt like didn't see you at all. Daddy doesn't have Mommy guilt... that's why it's called Mommy guilt, right? You didn't seem to hold it against me. Need to learn to allow for alone time. Hard to do, sweet girl!
How can you resisit a baby who now crawls up to you, into your lap, pulls on your shirt to sit up, and cuddles? Just this evening, this skill transitioned into the ability to pull up to standing at the couch to look at you. Still love those puppies. Tobey still sneaks into your room in the morning and tries to wake you up.
You are getting to be a pretty good eater. And when you are in the middle of eating and your Daddy stops paying attention, you grunt to get his attention. Although you grunt a lot and squeal a lot of the rest of the time. And sing back to us. Dadada came out tonight - although not really talking about Daddy. You were whispering it to me like it was a secret.
Sweet girl! You are interested in everything. Have started crawling all over the house, inspecting everything. You really like checking out the car seat from this new angle, crawling over to your puppies, and are really good at getting stuck - haven't figured out reverse yet.
This is the baby who was playing contently on the floor in the living room while Mommy and Daddy ate dinner at the coffee table. Next thing Mommy and Daddy know, there is a little head looking at them from down below... from the level of the shelf in the table. Got your self up on it...
Played there for a while...
Reached down to get toys to play with...
And then tossed yourself onto the floor... No crying with the thud!
Sleeping through the night for the most part! Yeah! Good luck though since 'tis the season for Daddy to yell at the TV... one of the seasons anyways!
