7 months old!

Today Emily is 7 months old!  What a cutie pie, right?!?!

Let's catch up a little...

She's obviously sitting up on her own.  She can scoot backwards on her tummy but can't go forward yet, however she still rolls to where she needs to go and will even turn around and come back to you, backwards of course. She's getting up on her knees and rocking like she's ready to take off and crawl.  Blaine said that she got from her hands and knees back to sitting one night this week when he was getting her ready for her bath. I didn't see it so I'm not sure. ;)  She likes to turn her play mat over and play under it now too.

 

And speaking of rolling...yup, she rolled off the bed this weekend. :( She's fine though, don't worry!  I still haven't recovered so we won't talk anymore about it.

She's majorly teething (and not sleeping well), there's even a little tiny tip of a tooth poking through on the bottom! 

She's been eating more solids! She's had carrots, green beans, puffs, cheerios, peas, prunes, bananas and sweet potatoes. She really likes the things she can feed herself the best.  She just started letting me feed her something with a spoon.  She HATES rice cereal and oatmeal. Actually gags on them. Very dramatic.  We're still nursing just as much as before though and its going great. She's using her sippy cup for water like a big girl. One sippy cup gave her pretty bad gas though. So much that they had to call me from school b/c she had gotten really upset when her tummy hurt so bad. So we put that one away for now.  She does great at restaurants too now sitting in highchairs!

 

We've been to another NC State football game...this time kickoff was a little earlier and she did great. The best idea Blaine had was for us to ride a rickshaw from our parking lot to the stadium instead of walking the whole way which was so fun! 

It was a beautiful fall day but our seats were in the shade and it was FREEZING. Emily was wrapped up nicely but we were a little cold. 

My sister's wedding was this past month too...It was beautiful and fun! But I have to say that Emily was such a trooper and we could not have gotten through the weekend without Blaine's amazing help. He was on duty except for feedings and he was awesome, thank you isn't enough.  Here's a sneak peek picture of us changing Emily out of her dress and getting ready for bed.  I think Daddy was getting worn out! I'll post more when i get some more pictures.

 

Emily is such a joy to our lives. We have the best time loving on her and watching her everyday. We laugh so much and are so blessed to be her parents.  Everyone here is a little under the weather and we spent the day yesterday snuggling in bed and taking care of one another. I love my little family to pieces.

She has two of these toys by Vtech and loves playing with the lights on them

She likes to grab books off of her side table and "read" them

she LOVES this jumperoo and has finally started to really jump high in it

she likes to roll under the couch and play hide and seek with us

I think that's it...XOXO
