Seven months old!

Dear Elizabeth,

You are seven months old today!  Your dad and I cannot believe how fast you are growing and how much you have changed in one month. 

You are seven months old!

You have gotten your first tooth, had your first cold (last night/today you got it), you sit up by yourself, and you have traveled on a plane to Texas (again!).

You now eat phase 2 baby food at lunch and dinner.  You still get four bottles (7:30am, 11:30am, 3:30pm and about 7pm).  You don't like to go 4 hours between your snack and dinner for some reason...

You still take two really good naps each day.  Usually one in the morning about 2 hours after you wake up and one in the afternoon about an hour after your lunch.

You have started drinking water and love to sip it out of a real cup.  We have not found any sippy cup yet that you like so we just take the lid off and let you sip out of the cup.

You still wear a size 2 diaper (although you are almost too long) and you wear 6-9 month clothes and 9 month onsies and sleepers.

We do not have your statics but I am guessing you weight almost 16 pounds and are probably 27 inches long.  You don't go back to the doctor until 9 months so we won't have an accurate number until then (we just know you are really, really tall).

Summer is over and I have gone back to work.  You go to Laura's house everyday and play with Sam and Alice.  I know you love going there because you are always so happy to see your friends and such a happy little girl when I see you in the afternoons.

You still love to take froggy everywhere and I make sure you have it everyday when you go play with Sam and Alice.

You got to watch your first football games this month and you love to cheer for the Gamecocks!  Sometimes I let you cheer for Pitt and the Steelers too.

Here are some pictures from your adventures this past month:
