7 Months Old!

Ok, I really don't want to talk about it. I will cry. I have cried. I'll say it once, but not again...my sweet little girl is 7 months old. There is nothing baby about her anymore (well, kinda) and she does something new everyday that makes me fall in love with her all over again. People weren't lying when they say that time passes by super fast when you have children.

Milestones:

• Caroline is an "independent sitter"
• Can go from laying on her tummy to sitting up by herself (she did this today for the first time!)
• Eating Stage 2 foods - still liking everything we've tried (mixed vegetables, garden vegetables, mangos, pear pineapple, apples & cherries, sweet potatoes & corn, squash & corn just to name a few)
• Teething? Who knows...all of her counterparts have teeth now...maybe she'll be bald AND toothless until she's one

Likes:

• Playing on the floor with her Fisher Price fishbowl & fish
• Talking to herself in the mornings...this seems to be when she is most talkative
• Bathtime
• Food
• Putting anything and everything in her mouth
• Lotion after bathtime

Dislikes:

• Still doesn't like having her face wiped clean
• Waiting on her food to be ready

I find it very hard to think of things she doesn't like.

On a side note, we're trying to stay healthy in our house. Caroline had her first bout of pink eye this weekend. We were in Columbia and my pediatrician was kind enough to call in some eye drops to a pharmacy at home. Then, I woke up on Sunday with a terribly sore throat...all the while thinking all this was related somehow. Turns out, I just have a seriously awful sinus infection. At any rate, with this being the peak of cold & flu season, we are washing our hands obsessively, using hand sanitizer ALL the time and staying out of each others faces - our first line of defense.
