Seven Months!

Silly Faces. Sweet Potatoes. Sippy Cups. Seats. Sunhats.... These are just a few words to describe what is new with Ella now that she is 7 months old. You can usually find her with her fingers jammed in her mouth chewing on them as she is working on cutting her 3rd tooth or you will see her with her mouth "stuck" open for like a minute or two at a time which is hilarious to watch (see below) She is trying her best to crawl now but can't make it past the rocking stage and is constantly doing face-plants. This past week I attempted to be Suzy Homemaker and made some of my own baby food and she tried out the sweet potatoes - as you can see from the picture, she is less than thrilled:) We have also been giving her a sippy cup with water which she absolutely loves - whether it be to drink out of or just chew on it like crazy:) Due to her long length we finally bit the bullet and started her in the next size of carseat. It is so huge it is comical but hopefully it will last us a long time! Ella seems to absolutely love to be outside so as long as it is nice out we venture out for a bit to catch some rays (thanks Julie In't Hout for the adorable sunhat!) Ella can sometimes be a handful but also so sweet and we feel so blessed to have had her in our lives over the past 7 months!
