7 Months!

It just keeps getting better! Month 7 has been so much fun! Giada's personality comes our more and more every day. She is having so much fun playing with and experiencing new toys...everything still goes in the mouth. She sits up unsupported all the time now, she still has a few spills here and there but not many! She is beginning to scoot and has gotten up on all 4's a few times. I have a feeling she will be crawling very soon. For now she rolls from place to place and feels quite accomplished once she gets where she set out to go! We have been eating a variety of foods and she has finally gotten the whole "solids" thing down! Some food she loves, others she could pass on. So far, her favorites are all the fruits...she takes after her mommy there! She loves to talk, she is beginning to put sounds together and her "talking" is beginning to sound more and more like the english language. Right now she is stuck on the "da, da, da, da," which of course Jason loves because he thinks she is saying "Dada." Not yet. She is getting there though. There is an engagement picture blown up on a canvas of Jason and I hanging in our bedroom, it has become Giada's favorite thing to talk to! The picture must look very real because she gets so loud when talking to it and laughs and laughs. It is very fun to watch. She wear a variety of sizes in clothing, she wears 3-6 month, 6 month and some (although they are too long) 6-9 month. The day she turned 7 months we graduated to size 3 diapers. I am not sure of her exact weight because we haven't been to the doctor since her 6 month well visit, but I am guessing she is around 17 pounds, mainly in her cheeks! We are just enjoying every moment with her and are so blessed to have such a good baby!
