Things I don't want to forget - 7 Months

With you being extremely mobile this month, naturally, you want to be participating in anything and everything that we are doing.  It doesn't matter what it is, you want to be a part of it.

When we eat breakfast, you want to join us.

 When Daddy gets home from work, you want to join him.

When Daddy wants to relax, you want to help him with his belt (and join him).

When we go on walks, you want to join us.

When I try to sit down after walks, you want to join me.

And when I need a break from Church meetings, you want to join me.

You are also in a very, very, very helpful mood.  You always want to be doing what we are doing, but feel like you are just helping out.

Especially when it involves laundry or organizing papers.

This month, you also had a lot of "firsts" occur.

You received your first kiss!

You watched General Conference for the first time.

You received your first text message.

You had your first encounter with stairs and tried to bear your first testimony by crawling up them.

You had your first bath in a big bath...

... and hated it.

So Daddy jumped in to save you...

... and back to the small bath we went.

Where we gave you your FIRST bubble bath, which also happened to be the first bath that you went poop in!

You had your first tornado warning, so we camped out in the closet for an hour until we were safe.

You had your first non-pureed foods, which included: pears, raspberries, and peppers.

You also found a myriad of new toys to keep yourself entertained for longer than 2 minutes time. 

Daddy's shoe shaper

Mommy's old diffuser

And getting your favorite crab back from Grandma that you left at her house.

But Daddy wished you were old enough to play with Legos (probably more for his sake than yours)

 But my three favorite things that happened this month were:

3. You starting to play games with us, like wondering where your hat disappeared to.

2. You discovering how to drive in the grocery store.

AND

1.  Your little foot always finding its way outside of your pajamas.

Gosh, you are such a pretty girl!
