7 Months

Dear Alyssa,

You are 7 months old today. This last month has brought lots of challanges and changes. In one week you got two teeth, a bad stomach virus, a new car seat, started to sit up on your own and crawled.

You now love riding in your new car seat. You can look out the window and will spend up to an hour just looking out the window not making a sound.

Your teeth are adorable but sharp. When you smile really big your teeth show and it makes everyone that you see smile.

Yesterday we went to visit your great-grandparents and it made their day, maybe even their week.

You are still not sleeping through the night and though I am not thrilled about that, I have to say if that is what I have to do to keep such an amazing baby I will do it.

You love to put things in your mouth but not food. You will put socks, rags, paper in your mouth no problem, but we give you a grahm cracker and you bang it on the table and not eat it.

You have learned to sit up on your own and you will roll sit up look around, lay back down and roll again.

Mommy and Daddy love you so much and can't believe how much better our lives are with you in it.

Right now you are laying on the floor ripping apart the paper and are so happy that I want to scoop you up and not put you down.

I love you baby girl. Happy 7 month birthday!!
