7 months old!!!

Wow! What a fun month it has been! We just can't believe that seven months ago right now we were in a delivery room and had not even met Emmalyn yet! It seems we have known her forever! She is sitting up (sometimes stable sometimes not), rolling over every chance she gets free from our arms and talking up a storm.. favorite word being Dada. That word goes on continuously so we aren't sure if she really means "Dada" or if it's just some baby babel. She is just simply non stop! She is constantly kicking, rolling, worm crawling, and talking! There really hasn't been a dull moment this month. It really has been a beautiful milestone. We feel so close to her these days with her becoming her own little person. Her hair is still as crazy as ever and as blonde as blonde can be. She drinks well out of her sippy cup as long as she is laying down or in a seated position. She sucks her thumb a lot, mostly when she's hungry or tired. She is sleeping very well still from about 8 or 9 pm to 6:30 am. Time is flying by so fast! Full on crawling is upon us very very soon. We have already "baby proofed" the house in anticipation. She eats her fruits and veggies very well. Prunes and bananas being her favorite fruits so far and green beans as her favorite veggie! She lets us know when she doesn't like or want to do something already. She is now throwing her head back and screaming when she doesn't want to take a nap. Strong willed child already! She enjoys books a little more now and watches Sesame Street, Dora, and Mickey Mouse. She LOVES Mickey!! She is still our constant smiley girl and laughs out loud all day long (especially when being tickled!) She is the light of our lives and we are so proud to call her our daughter!
