7 months!

Dear baby Rose,

You turned 7 months old on Monday.  I can't believe it! How time flies.  You are so much fun these days.  You laugh, and like to yell and hear yourself make noise.  We just got back from vacation last week.  We went to Lake Powell (Page, AZ).  We had basically two days of driving there and back.  You were such a good traveler.

Health
You are quite healthy now.  You had a bad cough before we left and while we were gone.  You were on a broad spectrum antibiotic for 10 days.  When we got back your cough was better.

Changes
I was offered a new job with an energy company. It is such a great opportunity to make a bit more, I had to take it.  There are great people that work there.  I also should be able to work from home on Fridays if we don't have too much going on.  However, the drive to Omaha has been a bit nasty with having to take you to Sandy's before heading over to Omaha.  We found a new daycare for you.  I pray it is a good fit!





Development
You are sitting up very well on your own now.  You will occassionally still fall back.  So we put a breastfeeding pillow around you.  You are not crawling yet.  You can push up with your legs though.  You are rolling both ways quite well.  You seem to roll where you want to go.  You give good hugs now.  When I pic you up in the morning you bury your head in my hair and wrap your arms around my neck.  It is the sweetest baby hug!  You also tried to give me your pacifier on Saturday of last week.  It was so sweet! You love to rub your face in a pink fleece blanket with a lamb sewn on.  I call it your lamby.  You still love your soothies. Although, we do not need them all the time.

Food
You are eating every 3 - 4 hours now.  We feed you purred food several times a day.  You are not a huge fan of green things.  But, if I mix fruit in you will eat it.

We love you so much! You are such a blessing.

Love,

Mommy
