The Ril Deal: 7 months old

Wow! I cannot believe that Miss LG is already 7 months old! Time sure does fly by. It seems like just yesterday that we were waiting in the hospital to find out if it was "the day." Since I hope to keep this blog as a journal, below is written for my little lady.

Miss LG, you are the light of our life! You are such a happy baby--you hardly ever fuss or cry. You love to be smiled at and spoken to, and you know your mama, dada, and bubba's for sure! Anytime any of those names are said, you look all around to find the correct person. This makes us all so happy--you know that we are your family and that we love you so much. You want to crawl soooo bad and you can get up on all fours, but then you just crash face forward into the floor. It won't be long now though... Your dad keeps pushing you to crawl, and I keep questioning if he really wants to do that. We can already tell that once you get mobile, you will be into EVERYTHING! You are very inquisitive. You can pretty much sit up on your own now, but sometimes you topple to one side or the other. You laugh out loud when someone tickles you....and you seem to be ticklish all over! You weigh 18lbs. 4oz. and are in the 76% of weight. You are 27 1/4" tall and in the 83% of height (which I hope is an indicator that you will be taller than your mama!). You have been eating baby food now for about 2 months. You really like sweet potatoes (just like your daddy). For awhile, you wouldn't have anything to do with fruits. Now you like them pretty good, especially peach cobbler (again, like your daddy). You are pretty much sleeping through the night now, but since you've been teething for the past month or so, sometimes you wake up, probably because you're in pain. :( You are a huge blessing to us and make our family complete. We love you, pretty girl!
