Seven months.
She will be seven months on Friday.
She loves avocado and bananas and sweet potatoes.
She gets distracted if I try to nurse her anywhere other than a quiet room.
She laughs when I kiss her tummy and we play “So Big.”
Her eyes are huge.
They are no longer blue; the color is somewhere between gray and brown.
She blinks her eyelashes like a doll.
She gleefully splashes water out of her tub and onto the counter and the floor around her.
She hated her first swim class. And the loud sounds of the crowd at a her first baseball game.
She is quick to greet friends and strangers.
But she protests if I leave her with anyone other than her dad.
She prefers to play with her brother’s toys—hammers and screwdrivers and trucks are more entertaining than teethers and hanging toys.
She smiles when she sees me.
She fusses at her father if he doesn’t greet her as soon as he walks in the door.
Her brother calls her “Baby Monster” because she knocks down his trains and blocks.
She is focusing all of her energy on crawling.
She is desperate to explore.
Teething is agony.
Two nights ago, for the first time in two months, she slept through the night again. I was disoriented and concerned when I woke up in the morning.
I haven’t napped next to her on the sofa in many, many weeks.
And I miss it.
Seven months.
Where did the time go?
It is just not possible. She is aging way too fast!

Oh so much better than any baby book could ever be. Perfect memories captured here.
Look at all of those adorable little arm rolls! What a great age that is!

I’m not reading this post because I refuse to believe she’s that old and doing all that stuff. Sniff.

I can’t believe she’s already seven months!
(And I absolutely adore how you captured Her here! It’s perfection!)

So sweet…she’s a doll. I love “baby monster”. Xander calls Charlie “King Kong” or “Swiper” depending on whether he has knocked something over or stolen it from his older brother. I love watching the sibling relationship.
I miss those days of being able to nap on the couch with the baby. Sigh, I want those days back.
