{seven}

Addie is now seven months (plus a week)! Month seven has been a little rough. I keep thinking she MUST be teething, but still no teeth. She has suddenly forgotten how to sleep through the night and wakes up 1-2 times a night, just because. If I let her cry she will eventually get herself back to sleep, but we have neighbors below us so that can be stressful. I am just hoping she will get back to her regular, fantastic sleeping habits soon. Despite the frustrating nights, we have been having a lot of fun during the day. Addie is entertaining herself a lot more with her toys which is nice. She loves solid foods, especially bananas, pears, and peaches. It takes a little bit more coaxing with the veggies but she will eat them. Here are some things about Addie at 7 months:

My cousin Allison took some six months pictures of Addie and they turned out so stinking cute (especially considering Addie REFUSED to smile for us)

I just had to document Addie's hair...or lack thereof. She seriously has old man hair, bald in the middle with a mullet on the bottom. Thanks goodness for headbands that's all I can say.  Speaking of headbands, Addie has discovered she can pull them off and chew on them, making it very difficult to keep them on her...not cool!

Visited IKEA for the first time and sat in a shopping cart for the first time. Needless to say she absolutely loved it!

Addie is so grabby and wants everything she can get her hands on. This picture is a perfect example. She carried Phi's belt from our room to the family room and played with it for a good fifteen minutes. At church last week we gave her our tithing receipt and she was entertained for a half hour...no joke! She is so funny!

I also have to document her feet. They are the tiniest, funniest baby feet ever. She is just now starting to fit into 0-3 month shoes and even still some of them just fall off her feet. I just keep waiting and waiting for her to be able to wear all the adorable shoes she has. Also her feet are so busy all day long. She twirls them around and around like she is a ballerina or something. They are always going and it is so funny to watch.

Addie loves to hang out in the bathroom while I get ready. She was so excited when I gave her an extra toothbrush we had to play with. She thought it was so funny when I was brushing my teeth and she had her own toothbrush in her mouth!

Addie still loves walks and we went out one day when it was warmer. I am so excited for spring and warmer temps. Addie's element is definitely outside.

Celebrated her first Valentine's Day

Still loves her bink and I sure love binky smiles

Silly girl. She loves to chew on anything she can get her little hands on (again I swear she should have teeth popping up any day now).

She discovered she can suck on her toes and loves it

We gave her a lemon to suck on at dinner and she didn't react at all, but instead wanted more

She had her first experience on Skpe talking to Crystal and was super confused to see her on the computer

She has now started to wear 6-9 month clothes
She is finally on a 4-hour feeding schedule
She got her flu shot today and didn't even cry

Her first word was dada, despite my constant coaxing to say mama.  She says dada non-stop, she said it all through Smith's the other day.  I keep telling Nephi she doesn't know what it means!

She probably won't be crawling anytime soon, considering the second she gets on her tummy she rolls over. Oh well, I am okay with her lack of mobility for now.

Overall she is just a happy, fun loving baby girl and we love her so stinkin much!
