Happy 7 Months, Reese!

On Reese's 7th Month Birthday:

*Our at-home unofficial weight is 17 pounds on the dot.

*Reese is in the process of getting one more tooth - her front left vampire tooth, as we like to call it. Much like Kate, she's saving the middle front teeth for later in order to make a statement.

*She crawls some - not full-blown crawling but one or two steps and then a lunge towards what she wants. We can still sort of contain her but our days are numbered!

*She eats almost all fruits and veggies in puree and really loves smashed but not pureed food that she can feed herself. She was introduced to Gerber puffs and LOVES them. It's like baby candy, I guess.

*Reese reaches for people when she wants to be held and it has led to a lot of extra holding, which may have led to her being slightly spoiled. But who's telling? :)

*She giggles and belly laughs at the funniest things: watching someone jump rope or hearing Avery yell at Kate. We never know what will trigger the laughter but once it's started, we'll all fall all over ourselves acting the fool just to get some more. Her laugh is infectious.

*Reese continues to be our people person. She's always seemed to like people and respond with interest and happiness when she is approached, but it is becoming more apparent the older that she gets - she just loves people.

*Our little lady is babbling a lot now and likes to mimic sounds in her own way. So much fun to have her squeals, babbles, and giggles fill our home!

Happy 7 months, Reese!
