Seven Months

Dear Haley Lou,

Happy seven months little babe! Another month has come and gone and you are growing and showing your personality more and more! Let's start with the stats:

Weight: 16 ish lbs
Teeth: started cutting your first one
New foods tried: turkey and gravy (you were definitely not a fan), kale and banana puffs
Clothing size: 6 months for tops and bottoms
Sleeping: about 10 hours a night with 2 naps in the day time.

Miss Haley, you started cutting your first tooth about 2 weeks ago. I had no idea until a lady at church noticed. But you have been great at reminding me of it ever since. You are a lot more needy these days and can get fussy a lot easier, but Mom realizes this is to be expected, and I love the extra snuggles I can have. You also started  coming up onto your knees during tummy time and you can scoot yourself backwards! We love watching you move and become stronger. One thing you love to do is back yourself into the space between our couch and the floor. There have been a number of times that I have stepped into the kitchen or just away for a minute and come back to find your lower half under the couch. You seem to know that this is entertaining to us because you always giggle when we find you. You are such a character. You are still super smiley, even through all the teething! Right now you like to wake up at  5:00 AM, which isn't my favorite time to start the day, so we are working on pushing that back a bit, but you are sleeping through the night and still taking 2 naps a day, so I won't complain too much. Hopefully, we will be moving you into Kinley's room soon!

One thing we have noticed about you is that your are very curious about everything around you. You grab at everything and Dad and I are always moving things out of your reach that we don't want you to have. You are notorious for grabbing our things and throwing them to the ground. I can already tell that you are going to be my mischievous one. The one that is crawling in and out of my cupboards and making messes all along your path. I can see it in your eyes, if I end up being right I'll just look back on this letter and giggle to myself and you will know that mother's intuition is no joke!

We love you little Haley! Happy seven months sweet girl! Can't wait to see what next month brings!


Love,

Mom
