7 Months

On Oct. 27th Hadley was 7 months and I'm fashionably late at posting about her. She is still our little happy girl. She did have a few rough weeks right before she was 7 months and then on the 27th we looked in her mouth and realized why. She had her first tooth. It was her bottom middle left. And a few days later the right one came along. It was a lot more painful for us (and her of course) than Brit, whose teeth just came in with no fever, cries, or nothing! But she now has 2 teeth and is napping and sleeping good again. Tonight I actually fed her and then just layed her in her bed. She talked and played in there and when I went to check if she was asleep this is what I found.

Now I just hope we can do this every night. We'll see. I doubt it. It was way too easy! She is also all over the place. She rolls and scoots everywhere and can cover a room pretty fast. She is also starting to push all the way up to her knees and rock back and forth. I was pretty excited when I first saw that, but then I realized what comes next. I'm not ready for it yet. She's growing too fast! She still won't sit up. She can, she just wont! Its kinda funny. When we sit her down she immediately straightens her whole body stiff as a board and falls over backward. She sat up for a long time the other day though so I know she can. She would just rather lay down I guess and move around. I guess she will when she wants to. She is a chatter box and just chats away all the time. She has been waking up at 6:00 am since the time change and so I get her and just lay her on the ground with me and try and sleep, but most of the time I just lay there listening to her tell me some crazy stories. She also likes to poke me in the eyes and pull on my nose right when I fall back asleep. Serves me right. She is not a good eater. She just wants nothing to do with food and feeding her is torture. I hope it's not a sign that shes gonna be a picky eater! She has a strong tongue and pushes everything, including the spoon right out the second it hits her mouth. Fruits are not even and option for her, but we can get her to eat a few veggies. She likes the puffs, but cant quite get them in her mouth by herself. She's very good at throwing them on the floor though! She still loves her brother and all he has to do is walk in the room or say "hi Hadi" to get her to smile and laugh! But tonight they were playing and he must have done something she didnt like because she looked back at me like "mom, did you see that!" She's already a tattle tell, but it was cute, for now! She is getting a lot of hair all of the sudden. I can even pinch it! I just cant wait for the day when I can put it in pig tails! Of course then, I'll wish it was short so I didnt have to do it everyday. And it's still pretty light. I still think she looks like Brit, but I feel she's getting her own different features now! And of course, we think she's beautiful! She's got us wrapped around her finger! Love ya Hadi!
