7 Months

Our sweet Ella turned 7 months July 29th.  (I know, I'm a little late) This past month has been a great one! Ella started to crawl, which is really half crawl, half army crawl.  She of course goes after the things that are NOT toys, like dvds, shoes and any type of technology that might be laying around.  

Sleep-  she is still on the same sleep pattern as last month.
Tooth-  just a few days ago Ella's first tooth broke through! It is her bottom, middle, right one.  There is probably a name for that tooth, but I don't know it.  She has been a tad fussy with it but not too bad.  Since the tooth, she has cried when we lay her down to sleep at night cause she wants to be nurtured and held.  I give her baby Tylenol but she still wants to be comforted for some reason.  Maybe it won't last long but I actually haven't minded this too much cause it gives me a chance to cuddle with her :)
Waving- another new trick is that she just learned to wave.  We are pretty excited about this one.
Words she understands- she knows what it means now if we say bite, da da, nite nite, and Ella.  She might know more than that, but that's just what we've picked up on.  

*We went to the doctor yesterday so they could check her weight.  She fell in her percentile last month so they wanted us to come back this month.  She weighs 14lbs 7oz. (10%).  Gained almost a pound from last month.  The doc said she was fine, so we are happy.  I feel like she eats ALL the time though! She nurses 4 times a day and eats solid food 3 times a day.  She is just a lean girl I guess. 


I snuck in her room to take a picture of her sleeping.  This is her favorite sleeping position. On her chest and knees, tush in the air!

I mean really... she is darker than me!

I will leave you with a little video.  She thinks her Daddy is the funniest person on the planet!
