I am 7 months old!
January is wrapping up, and so is our little 7-month old. Over the past two weeks, Ella Mae has begun to crawl…or army crawl (marine-crawl, in favor of her daddy?) Her vocabulary has grown to include “baba” and “mama,” and though I’d love to say that she’s referring to her mother, she’s referring to anything in front of her. She continues to eat solids, especially loving carrots, apples, pears and chicken! We have been letting her grab the food, which turns into messy but fun meals. Our favorite new part of eating is that she now can eat dinner with us, grabbing at her food and snacking at will as we are able to sit down and eat together (“hallelujah” chorus in the background).
I can sit up strongly now.
And after school I play with mama!
We have fabulous conversations…
Sometimes she tells me the most surprising things!
I also love to stick my tongue out
…and be adorable.
Ella Mae LOVES bath time. She gathers all of the toys possible in her little arms and talks to them. She also has discovered the joy of splashing and is confused why she gets so wet after. It’s hard to take her OUT of the tub, but at least she’s clean!
Love me my baths!
Don’t really love the drying off part…
Check out Ella Mae’s first crawl!IMG_2623 and IMG_2607 (one of them…). Should it surprise us that she was going after an iPhone? Further attempts include getting Nola dog, the vent, and anything within reach. Everything has been chewed on at this point. We should own stock in clorox wipes…
The vent! She plays it like an instrument, snuggles next to it when it’s blowing heat, and talks to it.
I’m sure she’s found lint…
..and the chimney sweep…. (now removed)
…and Nola dog!
Another snow-day this week. We spent many hours cuddling and snuggling. Ella Mae has experienced a great first winter!
Snowy home!
Snow-day snuggles!
