My New Face

Here is the new face I love to make at mom, dad and Maverick! We think she may be trying to immitate Maverick, but we are not sure. It sure is cute though. When she does the face she sort of blows out of her mouth so she makes this hissing noise as well.

She is still climbing on everything and trying to walk along the couch while holding on. We have to block her off from the living room because we have hardwood floors and she keeps going in there, standing at the coffee table, and slips and falls and hits her head. We are hopefully going to get a rug this week. My parents were so wonderful to give us some money towards one.

We are on green beans and she likes them. She had no problems the first time she ate them. The first few spoonfulls, she was like, "Umm, this isn't carrots (or sweet potatoes or squash)" But then she warmed up to it and she is eating them like a pro. We just have peas left and then we will start on fruit! Yippie!

I'm so glad mom and dad are home!

We got home from Vegas and she was so happy to see us! The grandparents said she did great, and was as perfect as always! Its so nice to be home with her again. I can't believe she is 7 months old already. She is sitting perfectly, crawling perfectly (no more commando crawl) and talking up a storm. She now does stuff to see if you will copy her. She'll go, "eh"? and then expect you to go "eh"? back. Plus she will look at you and click her tongue and wait for you to do it back. She gets excited when you copy her. She will also clap when you clap and gets all excited for that too. She is pulling up on anything that will hold her, as well as a few things that won't. She has had more than one spill and a few good bumps on the head. But she gets right up, sees that mommy is laughing and laughs herself. She also loves to use us as a ladder or a step up to something else. I swear sometimes that is all I am here for. Ooh, look I can get up on mommy and get to the futon and Maverick better! She absolutely loves Maverick and is getting faster at chasing him around the house. She cracks up at him while he just sits there and looks at her. She will stand at the futon and bang her head on it and laugh at Maverick who is sitting against the back. He still ignores her, but sometimes he gets bold and sniffs at her or plays a little.

She is on to squash and likes it pretty well. We are starting carrots just as soon as I can find time to puree them. After that we will move on to the green veggies. She is doing great eating for us, so lets hope she keeps that up! Everything else is great and we are all healthy and happy! Hopefully I can get pics up soon on the website.
