Evie - 7 months old!

Today my baby girl is 7 months old...she is closer to being 1 than a newborn, and I just can't believe it! I look at her while she's getting her bottle & I wonder when she got so big! I still remember her being the length of my arm! Now, she is sitting on her own (well...sort of...for the most part anyway!) We are slowly introducing food...she's got a pretty sensitive stomach & and is having some problems getting used to the different foods, so we're playing with the combinations to get everything just right for her! Right now she is getting fruit in the morning ang veggies at night & we'll be giving her lunch foods soon. Some days she eats really well, and other days you can't hardly get her to open her mouth! She's figured out all the tricks too & will clamp her lips together and blow out, so any hope of getting anything near her is just spit back at you! She seems to really like the sweet potatoes and pears the best so far. She is getting SO close to crawling! She is always getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. It's so cute, because she gets SO frustrated that she can't do it yet & will keep trying and crying all at the same time! It's amazing how she's gone from such a crabby baby to this happy little thing! She still has her days...but that's just Ev being Ev! My little princess diva...she won't eat her bottle unless it's warm enough, won't eat her food unless it's the right consistency, and prefers you to rub her back so she'll go to sleep. She's recently been waking up at night & fussing, but she'll fuss herself awake, which is kind of backwards. She doesn't need anything..just a little reassurance...just a couple minutes worth of backrub is usually all she needs to go back to sleep, but I'd love to not have that interruption at night! She loves to rock herself from side to side, and no one gets her laughing quite like Andrew...it's SO adorable! It's funny...as I started to write this, I was thinking not much has changed with her in the last month, but looking back, I guess it has!
