The months are flying by!

I have a lot to post from this past weekend, but first my sweet girl has an important day! Today Hailey is 7 months old! I can't believe how fast the months are flying by.

this is the perfect picture of her...on the go!

According to our scale, Hailey weighs about 17 and a half pounds. (We go to the doctor on Wednesday for her flu shot, so I'm going to try and get them to weigh her for a more exact weight.) She is wearing 6-9 months clothes and size 2 shoes. Her sleeping patterns haven't changed much lately; she goes to bed around 8:00 and sleeps until 6ish in the morning. (Sometimes it's even closer to 7:00!) She still takes a 30 minute nap every 2 hours.

Hailey eats a baby food meal twice a day, in the morning and evening. She has tried a few of the stage 2 fruit blends and really likes them. We gave her a puff one night just to see if she liked it, but it made her gag because she wasn't used to the texture. We'll wait a little longer on those. We have tried to use a sippy cup a few times but Hailey mostly likes to chew on it. She doesn't really care for juice and is just as happy with water.

Hailey started crawling this month! She had been scooting on her belly for a while, but finally got the motion down! Now she is everywhere and into everything! She loves to find our shoes and many times crawls into the closets in our bedroom to play with them. She is quick too!

Hailey loves to stand in her walker and help me cook or get ready in the mornings. Give her a plastic spatula and she is occupied for a good 10 minutes.

Hailey LOVES books. She loves for us to read to her all the time. Right now her favorites are "Baby Love", "Water Water Everywhere", "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". I think she likes the song ones the most because we sing them to her. A few times we've started reading (singing) them to her and she tries to sing too. It's so cute to hear her try to sing!

She's still not the biggest fan of the church nursery on Sundays or Tuesdays for Bible Study, but she's getting better. Last week she wasn't even crying when I picked her up (baby steps...) She is always tired when I pick her up and falls asleep on the way home. I guess being around all the other babies makes her sleepy. This particular day, she couldn't even wait for the car to fall asleep.

I'm sure next month will bring many more milestones and new tricks. Our baby girl is growing up so fast!
