7 months old

Emery is 7 months old (and quickly approaching 8 months)!  She still continues to be sweet as can be!  We are having so much fun with her and loving this stage!

Emery loves solid foods and is willing to try most things!  We've started introducing some table foods to her.  So far she has tried: avocado, mac and cheese, bread, cheerios, greek yogurt, green beans, and banana.  She hasn't shown as much interest in milk, so we've had to be somewhat creative in getting all her ounces down her (we're pretty sure her teeth are bothering her).  Emery is taking a sippy cup pretty well with water in it.

Emery's 2nd tooth just popped through her gums!  We're hoping this will lead to more sleep at night; however, I'm not getting my hopes up!  Emery hasn't slept through the night since in a few weeks.  In fact, her sleeping has been pretty rough!  She's been waking up multiple times during the night and we've occasionally had difficulty getting her back to sleep.  She still goes to bed at 7:00, but everything else continues to be inconsistent.  Naps are also not extremely consistent.  We have days where she sleeps a total of 2 hours a day and other days she sleeps a total of 4 hours!  

Emery is into everything!  She is constantly grabbing for everything that comes in front of her.  She successfully can feed herself puffs and etc…..she's been able to do this for the past 3ish weeks!  She is also rolling all over the place.  She is pulling her legs up under her and I fear (we're so not ready) crawling is near!  She loves to stand while we hold her and is always wiggling all around.

Emery is starting to give open mouth kisses, which are pretty irresistible.  She also started playing peek-a-boo as of this past weekend.  It's probably the cutest thing I've ever seen when she puts the blanket over her head.  She will also occasionally pat us on the back when we pick her up!

She is sweet and her smile is contagious!  Emery's still not a huge fan of people or dogs.  She is shy and when someone comes up to talk to her she will usually smile and then bury her head (also extremely cute).  She still loves bath time and well often squeal or start laughing when she hears the water run!!

Happy 7 months, sweet girl!!
