7 Months Old

Wow, time is flying! I can't believe it has already been 7 months.

Things about Willa at 7 Months Old

1.) She is super interested in everything around her. Anything within her reach, she will grab and explore. 

2.) She can stand fully on her feet when I hold her hands for balance.

3.) She has been sitting in her high chair and eating some finger foods (puffs, peas, and cut up sweet potato).

4.) She is very content sitting on the floor surrounded by toys. As long as she has things around her, she is happy and self-occupied. 

5.) She started saying "Dada" while Bryan was in Egypt. She hasn't really been saying it much now that he is back though. 

6.) She is laughing more and more (see video from today...).

7.) She started making this "squinty eyed" face when she is frustrated. 

8.) She has discovered that she can scream. Sometimes she lets out a loud, shrill scream. It doesn't necessarily mean that she's upset. 

9.) She loves swimming in the pool. She is not afraid of water at all and doesn't mind that it is cold when she first gets in. 

10.) While at Nana and Grumpy's house in SC, she loved riding in their golf cart. Sometimes it would relax her and put her to sleep. 

11.) She has started reaching out her arms if she wants one of us to pick her up. 

12.) She makes this awesome "motor boat" noise with her mouth where her lips vibrate together. 

13.) If you stick your tongue out at her, she thinks it is funny and will imitate you. 

14.) She is not crawling yet, but she seems ready. I am guessing it will be sometime this month. 

15.) She continues to be the happiest, sweetest, cutest, smartest, funniest, and most wonderful baby! Ok, maybe I'm a little biased. :)
