{ 7 incredible months }

Baby girl is 7 months old today.
And still as wonderful as the day she was born.


It's amazing how quickly they develop. I think we comment at least once a day how big she is getting and how fast the time goes.

Myla LOVES to eat! She started eating baby food around 5 months and has become a pro! (way better than my other 2) She will eat anything you feed her (with the exception of green beans). She is to the stage where if you are eating or drinking anything in front of her, she stares at you and drools. And she's so sweet that you can't help but share. Some of her favorite "table food" items are: quesadillas, french toast, cinnamon rolls, string cheese, crackers, and any kind of cereal. She is pretty amazing at gumming things too, all of my children have been.

Myla has mastered rolling and sitting up. She can roll from one side of the room to the other in no time flat. She has even started pushing up onto all fours which means that crawling is right around the corner. I'm not surprised though, because she always wants to be in the middle of the action. She will hoot and holler if you leave her in a room alone.

We started signing with her at about 4 months. She has been signing "milk" for a while now, but she recently signed "more". We were all together eating dinner and she started slapping her hands together. She got a kick out of us all screaming and clapping. Since then she has done it a few more times, usually when someone is eating or drinking in front of her. She watches the Signing Time videos and I can tell when I sign to her she knows what I'm saying, she just lacks to fine motor skills to sign back.

Myla loves her Daddy. She has been lucky to have him working from home so she gets to spend more time with him then usual. She lights up when she sees him. They have a special bond and it is a joy to watch.

Here are some pictures of took of my baby girl on her 7 month birthday:
