Happy 7 Monthday to Me!

I am seven months old today! Don't worry...Mommy is already making plans for that first birthday party. She's already picked out a theme, colors, and a few decorations.



Here are somethings you should know about me at seven months:

I am getting lots more red hair.
My naps are much better. Some days I even take two 1.5 hour naps!
I have eaten green beans, butternut squash, sweet potato, banana, applesauce, avacado, and rice cereal. My favorites are squash, sweet potato, and banana.
I like to give my Mommy and Daddy big, slobbery kisses. I haven't figured out how to do that with a closed mouth yet, though.
My favorite song is "My God is so Big".
I said "DaDa" for the first time today!
I love to be outside.
Mommy-separation anxiety has set it.
I am officially through with the swing, and maybe even my playmat.
Everything in my line of sight goes in my mouth.
I am still toothless, but Mommy is almost certain that will change soon (although she has thought that for a looong time).
I can get into a sitting position all by myself.
I am a beginner crawler.
I will occasionally use my crib rail to attempt to pull up to a standing position.



My increasing mobility has increasingly made life more challenging for Mommy and Daddy . They have to work hard to keep me in one place during diaper changes, and they are always checking the floor for things that are "not for Katie".



Today's Monthday photo shoot was especially interesting. Here are a few shots that didn't quite make the cut.
