Brooklyn 7 Months

My baby girl is 7 months old and this past month has thus far held the most milestones!  We are mobile now!!!  She began crawling and pulling herself up to a stand...  It has been fun watching her intently stare at Lincoln as he plays, you can read her inner monologue by the expressions on her face.  She had a few weeks of half-way crawling and she was pretty frustrated, but once she got it there was no stopping her.  One of her favorite things to investigate is the dogs, luckily they don't flinch as she is pulling on and closely examining their nails and ears :-)  Simultaneously as she mastered crawling, she also nailed the whole "pulling myself up to a stand" routine.  This would be perfectly fine except bedtime now has a new twist.  She would much rather be standing in her crib watching her brother play and listen to his ranting when he is suppose to be sleeping...  This could get interesting real quick!  

This past month Brooklyn also began eating solids (not baby food solids, but adult food solids.)  So far she has had toast, cheerios, eggs, blueberries, raspberries, rice, waffles, a popsicle, and kix.  By the way she LOVES her food!  

Brooklyn's 6 month well-check appointment isn't until August 1 so I don't know how she compares to the rest of the babies out there.  I will for sure keep you posted.  I do know that she weighs 17 pounds ( I was fortunate enough to weigh her before she became mobile.)


Things I have learned about my daughter this month:

• She is very serious most of the time
• She smiles the most for her brother
• She loves the tag to her pink blanket with orange polka-dots.  One only needs to brush it across her face when she is tired and she basically falls asleep.
• One of her favorite "toys" is any plastic card...  
• She loves the bath tub
• She still only has two teeth???
• She is very content
