This post is a bit delayed due to our travels...and the fact that I'm anal and cannot even fathom taking Shelby's monthly picture in a location other than the glider in her nursery, but that's another story for another day! So without further ado, Shelby's seven month post....
Here is what Miss Shelby is up to these days...--still on a very good routine despite all of our travels this month..waking up at 6am, taking 2 naps a day that last 1.5-2.5 hours usually, and going to bed somewhere around 7pm
--still sleeping through the night :) :) :)
--still a very picky eater...the only things we have found that she consistently likes are fruit rice cereal (she won't tough the regular rice cereal anymore) and sweet potatoes
--so far she has tried squash, green beans, peas, carrots, applesauce, bananas, peaches, & pears
--no teeth yet, but we did try giving her a teething biscuit this month just to see what she would do with it. We didn't have high hopes b/c she's so picky with solids...but she LOVED it! She's very messy with it, but we learned it's a great way to distract Shelby & keep her happy/quiet for a few minutes if we are at a restaurant eating. :) We just have to make sure we have an abundance of wet wipes on hand to clean up the aftermath.
--doing great with tummy time and gets her arms and legs moving a lot when she's on her stomach. She's trying to move, but so far all she can do is rotate herself and scoot backwards. It's pretty cute to watch. ;)
--still not rolling over in either direction. But she gets the closest to rolling over when her diaper is being changed..she really likes to squirm on the changing table, so we have to watch her like a hawk!
--has learned how to ham it up for the camera..whenever we pull out our phone, camera, or the flip cam her eyes light up! She may only be seven months old, but she knows how to work the camera already!
--much better at sitting up! Now I can plop you down on the floor with a few toys around you and you can play by yourself for a few minutes at a time...such a big girl!!
--loving peek-a-boo!
--her happy face is still a wide-open mouth
--can make the /b/ and /g/ consonant sounds, but she's not much of a babbler yet. She is usually content to squeal and make lots of "aaahhh" sounds though :)
--she has learned a new trick of wiggling her whole body like a worm..it's the funniest thing!
Shelby is getting more and more fun every day! It's hard to believe we are now closer to her first birthday than we are to her birth day. Craziness!
We love you so much, baby girl!
