7 Month Update

Aubrey is officially 7 months old and man has this been a month of firsts and many developments.  This month has been so much fun being around her.  She is so much more interactive (I feel like I say that every month, but it's true) and has quite the personality.  Her facial expressions are to die for and she makes Daddy and I laugh constantly.  She is definitely the center of our entertainment....what did we do before her??!!
 
Aubrey’s new interests:
  • Eating food and loving it. She even tries to help feed herself.
  • Sitting up. Aubrey thinks she is pretty top notch when she can sit up and play with her toys.  No more just laying around!
  • Scooting and doing a little army crawling. Aubrey is officially on the move.  We need to baby proof our house soon!
  • Sitting up in the bathtub and playing with toys while bathing.
  • Slapping/hitting the bottle....and everything for that matter.  I will be holding her and she will put her hand on my back and just sit there and pat it.  She tends to use her left hand most often...could we have another lefty in our family like Uncle Bryan and Grandma Trost?
  • Laughing out loud and squeals in delight when mommy or daddy make funny voices or faces.  Hopefully none of our neighbors have seen the funny faces we have made just to hear Aubrey laugh.
  • Pulling herself up to her knees.
  • Playing in the highchair. Her new found interest is playing with cooking utensils and measuring cups while mommy makes baby food for the week.
  • Trying to hold her own bottle.  Hasn't quite mastered the technique yet, but she might be there soon.  I will miss holding her and feeding her every morning and night when she wants to start doing it herself.
  • Exploring everything and looks at everything with the most amazement and interest.
Still loves:
  • Bouncing in her activity jumper.
  • Rolling around on the ground.  She literally will roll across the room in just a few minutes.  So fun to watch!
  • Sticking everything in her mouth. Still no teeth, so who knows when one will pop through.
  • Reading books.
  • Cuddling.  Daddy officially has his cuddler!
  • Her hands and feet. She still stares at them trying to figure them out.
Seriously Mom?
