7 Months


It's so hard to see Madeleine grow when she's with me everyday, but when I look back at past pictures, I'm amazed at how big she is! She is such a fun baby at 7 months - she really has such a fun personality and is a very easy-going baby (as long as it is not 12:00 church :) - makes me a little nervous if we ever do have anymore children what kind of terror is in store for us!

At this stage she loves (and I mean LOVES) to play, especially with other kids. She loves her laugh and learn house she got for Christmas, especially opening and shutting the door and eating the balls. She's getting really good at scooting around, she loves to rock on all fours and is slowly starting to pull up on things. We like to play patty cake together and peek-a-boo and sometimes this little piggy. She also likes to try to attack us with her mouth. She opens her mouth really wide and grabs both sides of your face to try to lick/bite you, she got Andrew good the other day in the chin - in the meantime this causes her to go in a fit of giggles.

She loves apples with just about anything so it's easy to give her a new food as long as it is with apples. She pretty much only takes a paci when she's ready to sleep; I'm ready for her to be weened of it altogether.

I thought her noises are perfectly normal for any baby, but when anybody hears her they start laughing, so I guess she is a little extraordinary! She likes to trill her tounge (like rolling her r's) we call her our little birdie and she just started making this smacking noise by sticking her tounge out and smacking it against her upper lip. She has also started scrunching her nose up and blowing in and out she really hard (this one is my favorite because my sister, Kayleen used to do that when she was a baby). She is a very loud talker and singer - I absolutely love her personality.

Here's some of our favorite pictures of her from the past month...
