7 months old

Liv Jade,

Our sweet one dimple girl. At 7 months old, you are another ray of light to our day. Since the day you were born you have changed our lives for the better in so many ways. You are an EXTREMELY happy baby. You laugh all day long and constantly look for your sister to watch her every move. You are getting to the age where you want constant attention and will holler out when you don't feel like you are being entertained enough. Once you are held or talked to, you are back to that happy girl. Nothing too much ruffles your feathers. You recently started consistently eating solid foods on a daily basis. You have been sitting up for about a month now but still tobble over from time to time. Since you haven't been a fan of tummy time your whole life, your not really ready to crawl quite yet. You have been doing significantly better on your tummy these days. Pretty much you hang on your tummy for a bit and then roll over to your back. You don't so much roll from your back to your tummy. It's because you don't like to be on your tummy, so why would you choose to roll there?! One of your new tricks is giving open mouthed kisses:) Oh how I love those!! Another one of your favorite past times is sitting on the floor with a bucket of rattles. You take them out one by one, put them in your mouth, and move onto the next. Your a big huge fan of your sister. It amazes me everyday how much you yearn for her attention and are giggly excited to watch her. She is a huge fan of you too. She likes to play hide and seek with you, dance for you, get your bottle, rattle, and binky for you. She wakes up every morning and asks where you are. When she finds you, she yells in your face "Good Morning Livia Jadey." You guys share a room and have been sleeping in that room together since we moved here 3 weeks ago. There is a door way (with no door) between the two rooms. You both go to bed at the same time everynight and wake up around the same time. (one usually wakes and the other to follow 20 minutes later) You have been sleeping through the night for quite some time now, like since you were 3 months or something. (it's glorious!!) Naps are a bit different with more inconsistency due to the events of the day but you still get around 3 hours (ish) everyday. You often spend your weekdays going to the zoo, children's museum, or playing at home. Daddy takes care of you and sis during the day while I work. The minute I walk in the door you have the biggest smile to greet me. The latest exciting news is you will be starting swimming lessons with your sis next week. Since we are at the lake all summer long we want you girls to have the safety tools instilled at a young age. (even though you have life jackets on:) Spring is pretty much here so the next months will be spent at the park, zoo, and lake. It seemed like a pretty long winter, so we are glad the weather is warming up and the daylight is longer!! Liv, I am simply in love with you,your sister, and your daddy. I couldn't be any happier.
I love you to the moon and back infinity!

Besos,

your momma
