Kate at Seven Months

Happy Seven Months, Kate P.!  You are growing too quickly, little girl. :)  Kate continues to be such a happy, smiley, and content little lady.  We definitely have been blessed with wonderful babies.

Kate's new skills this month have been the waving and her ability to stand.  She loves to lean up against our ottoman and stand to watch her surroundings.  She can stand independently for awhile, but we have to be close by to catch when she wobbles.  She gets such a huge smile on her face when she stands, so we know she loves being a part of the activity.  She definitely loves being in her Jumperoo and gets herself bouncing pretty high!

Kate has been more challenging with beginning solid foods.  She can get her mouth in such a straight, firm line and will not let a spoon pass through.  Once we sneak food in, though, she will swallow it.  It has slowly been improving, and it seems her favorite food is a mixture of homemade carrots, apples, and chicken.  She opens her mouth eagerly for this.  She also seems to like mangoes and bananas.  We tried yogurt for the first time today, and she seemed fairly enthusiastic about that too.  We'll get there!  She definitely still loves her milk and her bottle.

Still no official teeth, but we can see the top of one just starting to poke through on the bottom.  It will be here soon!  Crawling is close, too.  She tries so hard but ends up resorting to rolling to get where she needs to go.

Here are some pictures of our two beautiful ladies.  Audrey had to sneak in on the photo shoot today, too!

Audrey : Seven Months

Sometimes my heart gets heavy when I see how grown-up she looks.
