7 Months

Charis you are 7 months old (well technically you are 7 1/2 months but I'm late getting these pics up:) You are growing and changing so much everyday!  I feel like I'm constantly saying "When did you learn how to do that?"

You are still the most extroverted little girl!  You want to smile and talk to everyone who sees you.  You'll let other people hold you but you prefer it if Mommy or Daddy are in eyesight:)  You started waving Hi and Bye this past month and love to wave at people when you see them.

You are sitting like a champ and prefer to sit up over any other position.  You'll go on your belly, but so far you don't seem to have any desire to crawl, so I'm counting my lucky stars, because you will be BUSY when you do!  You are on the go all the time when you're sitting or being held!  You do not like to be still!  These day's your Jumperoo is your favorite place to play.

You are still a great sleeper and a great eater!  You sleep a solid 12 hours every night (7-7) and usually take 2 solid 2 hour naps a day!  That has been a huge blessing to your father and me.  

You are now eating 2 meals a day of solids and so far the only thing you haven't loved was green beens.  We started you on chicken last night and you gobbled it down in a few minutes!  Your newest food obsession is Cheerio's, you go crazy for them!

Your favorite toys right now are your lovie (you sleep with it every night), your stuffed animals (you talk to them the whole time you play with them) and anything you can chew on!

You and Jacob are really starting to interact more and more, and he loves to kiss you and make you laugh.  It always warms my heart to see you both sitting in the playroom laughing together.   You just think he is the best thing ever!  Mommy and Daddy hope you will be great friends growing up!

Your 7 month stats are:

Weight: 17.5 lbs (65%)

Height: 27 inches (80%)

You are in size 3 diapers

You wear size 6, 9 6-12month and 6-9 month clothes

Here is a comparison of you and your brother at the same age:

Mommy and Daddy love you so much sweet girl!  You are just a joy in our lives every day!
