7 Months

Caroline is quickly approaching the mobile stage. Within the past week she has started pushing up onto her hands and knees. Caroline also is beginning to show early signs of pulling up on things. She often does not want to sit down on the ground. Rather, she will tighten her legs so that you have no choice except to leave her standing. Good thing we recently installed the baby gate!!

No doctor's appointment this month, but our scale at home has Caroline weighing in 16.2 pounds (about 16 lbs and 3 oz). We have not a clue as to length, so we will just have to wait until the end of January.

Caroline:

• Shortly after turning 6 months old, she decided that maybe baby food wasn't so bad after all. You LOVE eating food now, but still not as much as your bottle. Your favorite food by far is bananas. Though you also seem to enjoy peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, pears, and apples. You eat anywhere from 1-2 Stage 2 foods/day (usually a fruit and veggie...and sometimes more).
• Still taking four bottles/day...anywhere from 5-7 oz.
• You are reaching and into everything, especially computers and phones!
• Sometimes you object when we take things away from you or if you don't get what you want...oh no!!
• When you get excited you nuzzle your head into our shoulders or on the ground.
• Cooper is you BFF! You find a tremendous amount of joy in watching/attempting to play with him.
• Daddy has seen you pass an object from one hand to the other, though mommy has yet to see it.

We love you so much and can't wait to see what the next month will bring!!
