7 Months

 

Our baby is actually almost 8 months as I write this. I cannot believe it! It has flown by. Although, I think that I say that every month. It really does go too fast.

I don’t even know how to describe Annabel. She is so bubbly and bouncy and smiley and giggly. Then at the same time she is just so content and calm.

She loves to snuggle. I take full advantage of that. (Ethan has always been too busy/active to snuggle. In fact, he will actually tell you that now. Mom: “Can I have a hug, Ethan?” E: “No Mom, I’m too busy.”

She loves to laugh. She is super ticklish. It is so fun!

She has her first tooth! Her second one will be here any day now I can see it ready to pop through.

She LOVES to eat! And it shows. This girl is a chunk! She was hesitant to eat at first. At first she would only eat food if I mixed it in with her rice cereal. Once she got the hang of eating she became obsessed. This girl would eat all day if I let her. She still eats pretty simple meals. Apples, bananas, sweat potatoes, and carrots are all she has eaten so far.

She adores her brother. Ethan gets the biggest smiles from her. She gets so sad when he leaves the room. She will keep looking around the room wondering where he went. Then she lets out an excited scream when he finally comes back into the room.

She says dada now. Such a bummer for this mama, but it is adorable to hear her say it.

She sleeps better. She still doesn’t sleep through the night, but she now only wakes up once at night and I’m alright with that.

She will no longer take her pacifier. She’ll play with it, or use it as a chew toy. The pacifier does nothing else for her anymore.

She getting rolly, She is pretty chill and content to just sit and play with her toys. I’ve been trying to step up the tummy time when she will let me. She now likes to roll from side to side. Finally!  I’ve still never actually seen her roll all the way over. I think the poor thing is just too chubby to move.

That’s our 7 month Annabel! I just adore her!
