7 Months Old

More than half of Ella's first year has flown by and our little girl is already 7 months old!  We don't have another doctor's appointment for another few months so there are no new stats, but we know she is growing and changing every day.  Her newest achievements within the last month include sitting up very sturdily, scooting on her tummy to reach a toy, chatting constantly (saying "ma", "da", "ba", "ee" sounds), holding herself against something to stand up on her own, sticking her tongue out and spitting, deciding that she is now a tummy sleeper, and eating puffs and more solid foods. We love seeing her personality coming out more and more as she is more vocal about letting us know what she wants or doesn't want.  We have been having a lot of fun playing with her now that she can interact with us so much more.  We love our sweet girl so much and can't imagine our lives without her.  She is definitely the biggest blessing to us!  More than anything, I wanted to include some of our favorite pictures of her from the last month.

 Loving sitting up and playing
 Eating is very tiring :).  This is the one time she actually fell asleep in the middle of eating dinner.
 Playing with dad
 Standing up all by herself
 Laundry helper
 Her favorite way to sleep
 Her scooting postion
 Full of personality at 7 months!
