Amelia is 7 months

Look at those tiny little rolls in the pictures above. Eeek. I can't believe that was 7 months ago?!

 

This past month has been such a fun one. It's been hard, as I went back to work, but Amelia is growing and learning...and it's so great to watch.

 

These little, big round eyes are my favorite.

Even though A can't talk, I swear we have conversations all day long.

She's still a baby, but she's gaining some serious skillz.

 

Like finally rolling over.

Hello- it's about time!

She finally figured out how to do it all.the.time. She now sleeps on her belly...sucking her thumb.

 

We have total thumb sucker on our hands. It's entirely too precious.

I'll encourage it for the rest of forever.

 

She can also mostly pull herself up to standing.

She pulled herself up a lot on me the human-jungle-gym but has been practicing pulling up on toys and the stairs lately. She can easily hold on to most things now, while standing.

 

In the past week or so she has gotten closer to crawling, but probably won't figure it out for awhile longer. She can turn all around while sitting, scoot forward/backward a little and sometimes army crawls backward (super frustrating!).

 

Recently, her favorite thing to do is suck on her toes during her diaper change. I nearly die every time, it's so adorable (am i going to think all my kids are this cute?!)

 

She sleeps all the way through the night. [We are so lucky] and now takes two longer naps during the day, instead of three shorter ones.

This girl has finally gained some weight too- she's over 15 lbs and has gained 2 lbs in the past month! She's gotten a few inches taller too. Despite her petite little features, she's definitely got some chunky thunder thighs though. She has been a little pickier with what/when she wants to eat solid food, but will still eat most things. Avocado is her current favorite.

 

Basically, she's the sweetest thing ever.

I'm not sure what we did to deserve such an amazing child.

The past month has been a breeze.

 

She can play pretty independently now, and it starting to really like music and anything bright with lights.

She's great during the day with Dan and when she's with our friend on Tuesday/Thursdays.

I miss her like crazy, but I get pictures during the day and lots of snuggles once I get home. I have such a greater appreciation for the evenings and weekends.

 

And one day that hair will start growing too....
