7 Months!

Maggie is our happy-go-lucky 7-month old, and we couldn't love her more!  She's babbling, screeching, sitting herself up, sitting independently, is starting to develop attachments to people, getting her third, and maybe fourth tooth, and just loves attention.  Her favorite foods seem to be sweet potatoes and bananas, and her favorite toys are her jungle gym, slinky and plastic keys.

Maggie started sleeping 12 hours (up from 10) all of a sudden.  It's nice, except that she wants to go to bed at 7:30pm, which is pretty early!  By the time I get home from work, I only see her for an hour or so before bedtime... we might try to scoot the schedule back slowly.  Maybe she's just going through a growth spurt, and she'll switch back to 10 hours?  This girl always keeps us guessing!  Her cheeks are really red this week, and she's been pretty cranky - we finally found a bottom tooth poking through today, so hopefully the pain is almost over for her.

We celebrated Grandpa's birthday on Tuesday with a yummy dinner on the Nautical Mile!  Maggie had fun looking at all the new stuff, but we had to skip out a little early to put her to bed.

I love Grandpa - I do not like it when
my mom uses tape to express this

I love my godmother!

No diggity

We had lots of fireworks around us this week, but Maggie thankfully slept through them all!  We keep a fan on in her room for white noise, and it seems to do the trick!  Grandpa let her see her first firework on Independence Day - a sprinkler!  She wasn't too impressed... but it was fun to have dinner together before he and Jamie went to a concert.

God Bless America!

Tell me a story, Grandpa

Those are muscles, not rolls on her arms

Maggie slept over at G&G's house on Friday so that Mommy and Daddy could have some grownup fun.  I'm proud to say that I stayed up til 2:30am!  I'm still an old fart, and would probably prefer watching a movie on the couch, but it was great to get out and see some friends without worry about bottles and spitup!

We have had a great week with a relaxing 4-day weekend.  It's been so nice to get some things done around the house, and just veg for a little while.  We bought a new kitchen faucet, and I can't wait until it's installed!  I am so lame!

Maggie got her next size of orthopedic shoes, and they are gigantic!  Insurance covers a pair every six months, so they recommended that we go with over-sized shoes to make sure they last.  Maggie seems happier, the other ones were just too small!

We had Maggie's 6-month photos taken a few weeks ago, and just got them back!  I still have to download them, but I'll post some pics soon!
