7 Months

I can't believe it --- Sam is 7 Months old! Where has time gone? She has changed so much and so fast...

Here's what is going on

Last time she was weighed a few weeks ago she weighed 17lbs.

Has moved out of the carrier and sits in high chairs when we go to resturants

Also is in a new car seat!

We are working our way through the Stage 2 foods - so far she has tried things mixed with Chicken and other mixed vegetables.

Sam is still a cuddle bug but I can tell she so wants to be mobile

She can sit up, though she hasn't figured out the crawling thing

Every once in a while it looks like she really wants to chase the cats

Still not a very good napper but will sleep all night from 8pm - 6am

Just this week started to pick up the Puffs snack and feed herself...

Loves Rice Rusks (so much neater than the biscuits)

Has 2 teeth (bottom) they came in within one week of each other and though it caused some fussiness - it was really not that bad-- but I would prefer the top teeth didn't come anytime soon.

Is such a mama's girl right now --- but she will reach out for anyone to hold her

Has made a friend at daycare -- when I went into her room the other day they were playing in the floor and Sam was babababaing her, also they had their heads together as if Sam was telling her some secret. The other little girl is a few months older and can crawl and pull up on things-- during playtime she will bring Sam toys to play with- and in return Sam will cheer her on as she starts to pull up and cruise around the room. Oh yeah and they also have squealing matches with each other all day.

Loves her jumparoo and excersaucer-- She could play in them for hours but poor thing can't stop jumping in the jumperoo when she is tired- It's as if she gets into a rhythm and can't stop

That's all for now... Happy 7 Months Sam --- you have been such a joy and blessing in our lives!
