Emma is SEVEN months

Wow, I can't even explain to you how fast the last year and a half has gone by! It seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant with Em. I can't believe that she is already seven months. She is so fun these days! Her true personality is starting to come out. She is laughing all the time. She is babbling like crazy. Her newest thrill is to scream. She does this for fun, not because she's upset. It's cute now, but I'm sure out in public won't be too cute :).

She can sit by herself so well. I have to put her in a sitting position, but she stays there forever. She can get into a sitting position by herself if she is raised up a little, she just can't from flat on her back. She is trying so hard to crawl. She rocks back and forth and maneuvers herself all around by scooting/sliding. She just doesn't pick her belly up all the way off the ground yet. I think it won't be too long and we'll have a mobile baby. She likes to roll all over the place.

She is sleeping so great at night. She has slept through the night a few times, but usually gets up one time around 3 am. She can finally put herself back to sleep when she wakes up during the night. Her naps are still crazy at daycare. Some days she naps so well and other days she naps a total of 30 minutes all day. We are trying to get her on a consistent napping schedule now.

She is doing such a good job with solid food. She is eating veggies, fruits, and cereal. We just started some of the stage 2 mixed fruit and veggie baby food. Just yesterday, she started waving "hi" and "bye." We've been working on it. She is so cute when music is playing. She bounces to the music. She LOVES jumping. We have a few different jumpers for her. We have the door-way jumper and two standing up stationary jumpers. She can even hold herself up on her legs if holding onto something. She buckles after a few minutes but does good.

We took her out of the infant tub. She was just getting too big. We got one of those inflatable tubs that goes in the big bathtub. She splashes like crazy. Yesterday the whole bathroom was soaked. She gets water all over her face and in her eyes, and it doesn't even bother her.

I can't believe in 5 months she'll be a year. Craziness!!
