Seven Months

Seven months is a very serious time in Haidyn’s life. I had a really hard time getting her to crack a smile and an even harder time getting her to sit still long enough to take a good picture! These days she is trying really hard to crawl. She can get up on her hands and knees and rock a little bit. She can sometimes get herself forward but usually moves backward. She is just so cute. Here are some of the things I want to remember about her at this point in time:

• She crosses her feet when she’s nursing or riding in her car seat.


• She growls. We don’t know why or where she picked up on it, but it’s hilarious.


• She says mama, baba, and dada. (But for the record, “mama” came way before “dada.” That’s my girl!!!)


• She eats a lot some days and not so much others. Favorite foods so far are sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, apples, pears, and apples & pears with cinnamon.


• She likes trying out her voices – the growl, a whisper, a high pitched squeal, and her talking voice.


• She loves to grab Lola’s tail. It hasn’t happened very often, but when it does the look on her face is priceless. It’s like you gave her the best present in the whole world.


• She loves to have a “lovey” (a.k.a a small blanket) when she sleeps. Before putting her down, I give her the lovey and we sway and sing lullabys. She’ll snuggle against you with her face buried in the lovey. It’s one of my favorite parts of our day!
