7 months old!

Bethany is 7 months old! Well, she is almost 7.5 months, but I'm a little delayed in posting. These days she is very entertained by peak-a-boo. I hide behind Dan and pop up on one side and then drop back and reappear on the other. She knows this game very well so anticipates me on the other side but still giggles hysterically when I jump out and say peak-a-boo!

She is eating 3 meals of baby food a day and does very well. She opens her mouth so nicely after each bite most of the time. Bethany also likes water from her sippy cup and has decided she likes to chew on Cheerios. There is no Dr. appointment this month so I'm not sure where she is on the height and weight chart but it seems like she might be getting taller! We just packed up her 3-6 month clothing and so she's in her 6-9 month ones now even though quite a few are too long or wide on her. The one-piece pjs fit perfectly though.

Bethany loves the water and has enjoyed her swims in the lake so far! Bathtime is still the most fun because it is warm and there are so many toys to play with. She is also getting good and reaching for her toys while sitting. Sometimes she ends up on all fours but gets stuck there and hasn't figured out how to move forward on her own yet consistently. Books are a favorite too and we read several each day with Bethany helping flip the pages. She is sleeping very well - 7:30 to 6 most nights, although she has been flipping over lately and since she doesn't like tummy time wakes herself up and its sometimes hard for her to get herself back to sleep. Hopefully its just a phase and either she won't keep flipping over, or will figure out how to get back on her back, or just enjoy sleeping on her tummy when she does flip... this too shall pass.

Bethany - you are such a fun little girl! We love your smiles and that you enjoy meeting new people! We are so excited that you are learning new things and although we know crawling/walking will happen sometime, it is fun to have you in this non-mobile stage right now to enjoy. We love you so much!

Still more interested in talking than smiling for the picture!
