Sweet Salad 7 months!!

I can't believe our sweet salad (her nickname that has stuck) is 7 months already!! Time flies so quickly! She brings joy with her wherever she goes!! I can't express how special this little gal is to us!! She is many unique characteristics which set her apart from her brothers. She is WAY tinier than they were. She is only in the 5th percentile for weight. She is VERY active (ok, not so different from her brothers!:)) She is almost crawling!! She gets up on all fours but usually pushes with her feet. She also rolls alot. She has been rolling to get what she wants since she was 5 months old!! The rolling has evolved into more scooting/almost crawling. She eats number 2 foods and screams if the food isn't getting in her mouth quick enough. The only downside is that she is a HUGE spitter upper. I can't tell you how much more laundry there is, and the amount of clean-up per day..oh boy!! It's worth it. As long as she doesn't mind wearing clothes with permanent orange stains down the front (I've tried everything!!:)) She got her 2 bottom teeth at around 6 months, which she handled pretty well. We didn't know she was getting teeth until we felt them!!

She LOVES her fingers. She found them at about 4 months and hasn't used a pacifier since. This is our first child to opt for fingers so hopefully the pros will outweigh the cons!!


She likes to bounce in this bouncer sometimes, and her alltime favorite toys are her rubber duckies!! Her favorite thing to say is DA!! DA!! which she has been saying since 6 months. She says it when she is happy or sad. She also says na na, ba ba, ga ga, but no ma ma!! Ugh!! That's ok, she is still a HUGE mama's girl!!!
We can't get enough of her!! Her smile and laugh are infectious!! She couldn't have more protective brothers who treat her like a princess. This girl is loved!!!
