7 months! (last week)

Yes I know, this post is a little overdue, but I have been busy! We made the 20 hour (!!!) drive to Boston and back (more on that later), so we weren't home on Saylor's 7 month birthday. Then when we got home I had a couple of big orders to fill (yay!) for my etsy store, pretty pretty baby, then I had to work, and do unfun things like unpack, and oh yeah, I almost forgot sleep! So...

Saylor, you are 7 months old!
look how long her hair is getting!


Saylor has changed SO much this month. She is starting to lose her little baby look, and starting to look like a little girl. She has started smiling even bigger than before, so she squints her eyes all tight to fit her sweet little grin on her face. It is the cutest thing, I love it! Saylor has also started laughing, a lot, especially during diaper changes. I'm not really sure if she likes being naked, or if she's laughing at me trying to keep her still on her back long enought to get a diaper on. She's either trying to rip the blinds down or turn around to see what is behind her, or trying to eat her hairbrush, ha she is such a nosy little busybody it's almost impossible to keep her on her changing table these days!


About 95% of the time, maybe even 98% Saylor is the happiest, funniest, sweetest little thing. But, my gosh, if she is even the slightest bit hungry watch out! She loves, loves to eat, and I think she is starting to get the hang of eating solids now. When she starts moving her lips around like she's eating I know that she is ready to eat. She is still loving her some pears and squash. She eats bananas, peaches, applesauce, carrots, and sweet potatoes really well. She tolerates green beans, she has yet to finish a whole tub in one sitting though. And peas? Forget it! I quit trying them, I can't make her eat something I don't like, so, for now green beans will have to be her green veg. I've tried to get her to eat mashed avocado a few times, but she has wanted nothing to do with it, so I just hide it in her carrots :)

Saylor is thisclose to crawling. She gets up in the crawling position and either flops to the side or scoots a bit forward and does something weird with her feet and will end up on her back. I don't know what thats all about, but she manages to get around pretty good! She is starting to try to pull up on things, but has yet to do it unassisted no matter what my mom "says"! She can def climb all over things, she is quite the mover these days.

In the past week or so, Saylor has really discovered her voice. She was a little vocal before, but my goodness now she's always "singing" and sometimes she can get quite loud! She's not saying any words yet, although I swear she was saying ma ma, ma ma the other day... :)

Saylor still fights sleep like it's her job, but when she's out she is just the sweetest looking thing :) She used to sleep until 8ish or even 9 somedays, but now she is usually up by 7:30, so I'm not really loving that, but sometimes I can get her to just lay there and cuddle with me for a few more minutes :) She is just so sweet, and growing so quickly that sometimes when I'm going to sleep at night, I wonder if I held her enough that day, because I know it won't be too much longer and she won't want to be held!

I can't wait to see what else this month has in store! Little Miss Saylor is keeping me on my toes, and I love it :)
