Happy 7 months old! Notice that Daddy didn't even say "today you are 7 months old" because this post is so overdue, Daddy might as well start working on the Happy 8 month post. With that in mind, most of your 7th month of life was spent traveling, as seen by the novel of a previous post. Still there are a few things to talk about and before all that...here you are with Roxie Bear, in NH at Yaya and Pop's house.
Let's talk about teeth for a minute. While you were in Pittsburgh visiting Grammie Sue and Gramps, everyone thought you were starting to teeth again. After having two very lonely bottom teeth for the last few months, it was about time some other teeth came around to join them.
Well while you were in NH at Yaya and Pop's house, your top two teeth came in. Then by the next weekend another top tooth has come in, just chilling out on the top of your right side with no pair below or pair across in sight. Well in about a week later Mommy and Daddy started to see signs that your lopsided top teeth would be balanced out. Hopefully that tooth will get here soon, since Daddy is writing this post 2 weeks late and that tooth still hasn't come in. And then there's the rolling, let's talk about that. This past month you've mastered rolling over, front to back, back to front, side to side, top to bottom, you name it, you can roll it! This has made it interesting as you are a little bit more mobile when Mommy and Daddy put you down on the floor for two seconds, who knows how far you'll roll and what you'll get into while you are there.
Luckily for us sometimes you get onto your belly and just decide to cry and stay there instead of roll over, which at least helps Daddy find you whenever you try to roll away and hide under the table or sofa. When you are on your belly, you are so close to crawling that it both scares Daddy that you'll be crawling soon, and makes Daddy happy cause that's one step closer to seeing you playing Rugby...ha ha. Even this past week you've gotten up in the crawling position and rocked back and forth, even once or twice when you realize you can't reach a toy you want, you launch yourself forward, willing to take the sacrifice digger to get that toy. Speaking of taking diggers, this last month has been filled with you moving a lot more, which can be read as you taking tons of bumps and bruises. You are sitting up all on your own if put down in that position, you still don't have the whole, getting up to the sitting position from laying down just yet. Of course just like some crazy scientist throwing apples up in the air, what sits up, must fall down. You've knocked yourself a couple of times that way, yet the best thump happened the other day. Mommy and Daddy still aren't sure if you whacked yourself in the eyebrow with the ladle you were playing with or the edge of the metal mixing bowl you were using as a drum, yet either way you had a huge lump on your eyebrow and it took a while to calm you down after that one.
Well since it's almost time for Daddy to starting working on the 8 month post, this is enough for now. Maybe you'll be standing at the end of the drive way waiting for the school bus to pick you up for the first day of kindergarten before Daddy get's that next post written.
We love you,
Mommy & Daddy
