7 Months

Bella,

You are 7 months and full of personality!

~We have graduated you into 6-9 month clothes in the last month. You have ALOT of cute 6-9 month clothes so we have ALOT of work to do to make sure you wear all of them. Not sure how it happened that way but it did.
~ You are now also wearing size 3 diapers!
~ If you couldn't tell by the first two items, you are growing and getting big on us. We haven't weighed you in a while but your legs seem to be getting bigger as does your cute belly!
~ You are still eating 24-30 oz of mostly formula (a bottle or so a momma's milk a day) and 3 meals a day. You are a big fan of food!
~ Your favorite foods are peaches, pears, and fries (regular and sweet potato).
~ You are still doing a good job of sitting and stretching to get what you want. We are starting to work with you on crawling. Sometime ago, though, you decided not to like being on your stomach.
~ You really enjoy your exersaucer. I would dare say it is your favorite toy. You are also a big fan of your bumpo. Both are super handy for mom and dad.
~ In the past month, you celebrated many events. The first was your baptism. You had lots o family and friends present. You did such a good job during the service! You didn't cry and just kept smiling the whole time... Well play for most of the time.
~ Next up was your daddy's birthday! You got to hang out with your daddy and his momma for his birthday!
~ You also got to spend a couple of days hanging out with your daddy. Just you and him!
~ You also celebrated your first Easter! With that, you visited the Easter Bunny, went to Build-a-Bear to make a bunny, went to church, and got to visit with your great granddad. You also got to eat lunch with your great grandma and great aunt. (not to mention staying at Gigi and Pops')
~ You also enjoyed your first Scottish festival. You did such a good job of listening to the music and being just a chill baby!
~ Last but not least, you celebrated your Gigi's birthday! You got to Eat some yummy Faded Rose fries and then let Mom and Gigi buy you some cool gifts! All in all it was a fun month of celebrations!

Bella,
These days seem to be going by so fast! It's hard to believe that this time last year we were telling people that you were growing and developing. Now, you are a sweet baby who loves to sit and laugh and play! Your daddy and I are enjoying watching you grow and learn. We love coming home and playing with you every evening and on the weekends! We love you and your personality at this age! You are so happy! You help us find joy in the little things of life. Watching you play with Easter eggs made us smile and laugh! Next year will be as much fun, if not more since you will be able to run around and find the eggs! You are such a great eater and willing to try anything! Hopefully, you will continue to be adventurous and open-minded! Only time will tell! We look forward to watching you grow, learn, and become your own person! We are so proud of you! The words "I Love You" do not begin to show the emotions we feel for you! You are our pride and joy! Our lives have forever been changed and improved because of you! We love you so much more than you will ever know and our love for you continues to grow each day!
Love always,
Your Mommy and Daddy!
