7 months old

Abby with her favorite birdbath toy. Can you see where she stores her pacifier for safe-keeping?

Abby rockin the old school walker. Still learning how to go forward however.

Abby turned 7 months old on Tuesday. She is really changing so much every week and we all love watching her grow! She loves playing in the walker that Sherri brought over for her to try. She only goes in reverse, but seems to enjoy that just as well. She's developing a little fear of strangers and has been bounced from the gym nursery already. I remember putting Alex in the church nursery at this age and they would bring him out to us, every Sunday, because he was crying too much. Hopefully she outgrows this quickly.

Abby loves playing with Alex, and watching him play. She enjoys reading books with him at bedtime and trying to eat all of the pages. Her favorite baby toys are the birdbath toy and a talking dog. She sleeps with a small, silky, lovey which has been comforting to her at night. She still takes a pacifier in the middle of the night if she wakes up. This helps us avoid that dreaded 4am feeding and has been working well.

Abby loves mealtimes and eats 3 meals a day with a few bottles thrown in for good measure. She has yet to meet a baby food she doesn't like! She is starting to pick up Cheerios on her own as well. We have a few nicknames for Abby including "Little Missy", "Sister Bear", "Abby Cadabby" and "Grumpy Stripes" (depending on her mood).

Aside from entertaining Abby and spending lots of time on our new deck, we haven't been up to much. It is finally getting warmer here and we are looking to see 90 degrees this weekend!! Can you say Slip N' Slide?????
