7 months!

With 7 months we experience more independence. This month Mommy realizes that her child is WIGGLY. We always joked that since Lee was such a hyper child (rocking on his horse at 3 in the morning at age 2---ask his mama Gail!) we'd get payback! We think its true!!! Mommy wishes at this point that she'd cherished the cuddles she got and begins to think back to the newborn stage when Macie always wanted to be held! Those days are over! Macie grabs anything and everything she can, and is constantly on her tummy and moves more and more towards crawling. Her favorite new position is the plank! She has figured out how to go from plank to knees bent, but when she moves and arm forward, she experiences a subsequent "face plant" much to her dismay. Her vocalizations continue to be more varied, and she has begun the sweetest little whisper! Mommy loves it! Macie had so many new experiences this months as the temperatures begin to cool and we've been able to be outside more! She LOVES her little swimming pool and her little rubber duckies! This month we celebrated Mommy leaving her job and being home with Macie everyday. More playdates ensue and our social butterfly continues to blossom. She fusses when you take away toys, and cries "Ma Ma Ma" when upset and "Da da da" for fun! Of course she reaches for anything that is a no no, including paper, plastic and cords. :) What else do babies do???? Again, more videos and pictures of our growing baby girl!
