Seven months??

Rhodes turned 7 months on Saturday (5/2/09) and I honestly can not believe it!  She is now closer to her 1 year birthday than to her actual birth - I feel like she should still be a newborn.  She is sitting up, rolling all over, scooting backwards and trying to crawl.  She is such a happy baby and her laugh will melt your heart.  She pretty much laughs at everything her big sis does!I started giving her teething biscuits/puffs this past week (she is so interested in everything we eat!) and the above picture is our 7 month old eating her first biscuit.  It was a hit!  My least favorite thing she does is when she sits in the bumbo chair she stretches her body out and tries to get out and moves the bumbo backwards!  Not good for when the bumbo is on countertops but luckily I have caught her doing it before she gets herself into trouble - we'll be sitting in the highchair from now on in the kitchen! :)  We had her six month appointment on Friday (a day before she turned 7 months) and here are her stats: 

Height: 28 inches (97%)

Weight: 19 lbs 12 oz (90%) - string bean is thinning out! :)
Head Circumference: 17 1/2 (90%) 

I think all of the percentages are based on 6 months and since she is actually 7 months, she may be a little lower in the rankings.  She had 3 shots and did awesome!  She fell asleep before the nurse came in to give them to her - but woke up and cried for maybe an entire minute during them and then was perfectly fine!  We went straight from there to playgroup at the park and she was such a trooper!  On the other hand, it was my first doctor's visit with both girls, so let's just say that was interesting!  I am sure there are many of those to come so it was a pretty decent trial run!  

Happy 7 months Rhodes!  We love you more every day and thank the Lord for bringing you into our lives!!  If only this first year would slow down a little bit!!
