Emily has now passed the 7 month mark. At her last appointment, she was 17.5 pounds and 27 inches tall!
She loves every type of baby food that exists. I make it myself, and honestly, the stuff from the jars tastes like garbage compared to fresh-made food. She also has a lot of love for Elmo. She has the Elmo Encore and a DVD of Elmo singing and dancing. She screams and waves to him.
On the March 4th, she crawled for the very first time. She still prefers to roll to her destination, but if you tempt her with a toy, she will hurl herself forward with her mouth wide open.
She doesn't pay any attention to my parents' Westie dog, yet when she sees one of our cats, she squeals and tries to grab at them. I'm sure she and Elliot the dog will be best friends once she's older.
Her sleep schedule is good, as usual. She likes 3 short naps during the day (an hour or less) but really loves a long 12 hour nap at night. She usually is asleep from about 9pm-9am. I can deal with that for now.
She has started to show signs that she is aware when people are strangers, but for the most part, she loves whoever is paying attention to her. Her personality makes it hard to not have 100 more kids, in hopes they'd be just like her. But I know better!
She still has the same 2 teeth that made themselves known on Christmas day, hopefully she'll get some more here sometime soon.
That's all for this month!
