7 months

Ellery is 7 months old!

Her absolute favorite place to be these days, is in my arms... facing out... and walking around at such a speed that the scenery changes ever so subtly.

She is a mama's girl. She doesn't mind being held by other people when I leave the room, but as soon as we make eye contact, it's over. While I love this, I've learned some stealth moves to sneak by her :)

She is sitting up well on her own now, and enjoys playing on the ground with her toys for a bit. Stella is intrigued by her new skills, and can usually be found dumping piles of toys on her. Just trying to be helpful I suppose.

She is still on the soy. She also thoroughly enjoys pears, sweet potatoes, squash and oatmeal. Beans literally make her gag, which provides some comic relief for the big kids at the dinner table.

She usually takes 3 naps a day. She is waking up in the middle of the night again, but only needs her pacifier to go back to sleep. She usually has a bottle between 5 and 6am, and then goes back to sleep for a few hours. She loves her cradle and pink pig. Sadly, she will no longer sleep in my arms. She will kick and arch her back when she is tired, because she just wants her bed. This proves to be a bit tricky while we are out.

Tim and Ellery's favorite pastime.
