Seven Months!!

Turning seven months didn't seem like a big deal to me, of course my family made it a big deal and kept saying how fast I was growing and how time is flying by. I guess I agree, but I am too busy playing with my toys and discovering new things.

My new favorite thing is playing in my Jumperoo. I love to jump around and make all the noises and toys dance around. I jump so hard sometimes my Daddy thinks I might jump right out of the seat! Rolling around on the floor is also fun. I just from my stomach to my back and back again, I love it! I can sit up a little, but only when I use my hands as support. I think my Mom really wants me to sit up because she keeps putting me in that position and letting go.

I also love to eat my solid food. My Mom is still making me homemade baby food and I love it! I get oatmeal with fruit in the morning and then a vegetable in the evening. I have tried lots of different foods, but my favorite is still sweet potatos, my least favorite is green beans, yuck! I will only eat those when they are mixed with sweet potatos.

Mom and Dad also tells me that I am learning sign language. I haven't quite figured out what they are doing with their hands or what I am suppose to do with the hand motions, but it definitely intrigues me. They seem to be doing the hand motions when they give me a bottle, eat solid food, drink from my sippy cup (which I can't do very well yet), or when the dog and cat come into the room.

I got my first ear infection this past month, it was not fun. The first dose of medicine didn't work so I had to try something stronger and that seemed to do the trick. But it was three straight weeks of not feeling well. I hope that doesn't happen very often.

I was happy to learn that seven months didn't involve a doctor visit and/or shots. Being seven months has been fun, I just can't wait to learn what next month has in store for me.
