Olivia is 7 months old!!!

7 months old already?? How can it be?? I love each and every stage but this stage is so fun!! I love watching her discover something new. 

I have enjoyed the past 7 months more than anything in this world.  She is such a happy, laid back little girl.  She is all smiles 95 % of the time.  If she is crying something is wrong.  She is truly a happy baby!

Before I go any further, here is my beautiful baby girl at 7 months!!

Sitting in her rocking chair for the first time!

Here is what Miss Olivia has been up to this past month!

*She is still rolling everywhere! You lay her in the floor and she is gone! She sees something she wants to get her hands on and she goes after it! I think I will have my hands full with this little girl when she starts crawling.  She will keep me on my toes trying to keep her out of everything I am sure!

 

*She finally started taking a paci.  I thought that she would be one that never wanted anything to do with one but she decided she wanted it and I am totally ok with that!

 

*She LOVES her jumperoo!! She can really jump in it now that she can touch the floor even if she is on her tippy toes! :)

 

*Now that she knows she can jump she wants to do it all the time.  She loves to stand up in my lap and bounce.  She gets the biggest kick out of it.

*She is still napping really good! She takes one in the morning, one around lunchtime and then another one in the late afternoon.

*She is still waking up once a night to eat and there are several times that we have to put her paci back in but other than that she goes down really good at night and goes back to sleep so easy.  She is really a good baby! She eats first thing in the morning and I have to admit I put her in bed with me to cuddle and go to back to sleep until Brayden gets up.  I love those early morning cuddles!

*Speaking of cuddling she is not a big cuddler like she was as a little bitty baby.  She has gotten better with cuddling with me but when she is sleepy especially at night before bedtime she would rather you lay her down and let her fall asleep on her own.  Her brother was the same way around this age.

*She is starting to reach out for me.  The only other person that she has really reached out for is my mom.  She is also starting to hug my neck more and more when I pick her up.  She also has been starting to open her mouth and put in on my face like she is kissing me.  It is so sweet!

*I swear there has been a time of two that she is trying to say mama but I will not count it until I hear it for sure. 

*She is still not quite sitting up on her own yet.  She will sit up for a bit and then start to fall over but she is getting the hang of it. 

*She has started playing this game where she will drop her toy, blanket or paci and want you to pick it up.  She will do this over and over and she thinks it is funny.

*She is still not a big eater.  She will drink about 23-25 ounces a day but still only 3-4 ounces at a time! I have no idea how to get her to drink more.  However, she loves her baby food that I have been making her.  Her favorite is still sweet potatoes and now apple banana!

*She has started this new thing where you can say- NO NO NO and she will shake her head back and forth NO.  It is so cute but of course I think everything she does it cute! :)

 

 

*She loves to play peek a boo and pat a cake!  Those are her favorites! She gets the biggest kick out of them both! 

*She LOVES LOVES LOVES her bath time.  I think she would stay in there forever! She is so happy and seems so relaxed. 

*She has the sweetest personality.  She makes the cutest little faces and she is just so darn lovable I believe I could literally kiss her cheeks off!! She is always all smiles and she loves to laugh, especially at her big brother.  She absolutely loves him and doesn't take her eye off him when he is around.  He will run up to her and she will squeal and laugh.  I think those two will be best buds!

*I know she is only 7 months old but she already loves Strawberry Shortcake.  I will turn it on for her while I try and get something done and her eyes will light up.  If you try and block her vision from the television she will try and see around you.  She is a mess!

*She loves her toys and really tries to figure them all out. She loves to sit in the floor or sit in my lap and play. 

I guess that is all for this month! Here are a few more pictures of my precious baby girl...
