7 months old!

I'm a few days late but Gabriella turned 7 months old on Saturday! While some of our days are long due to the start of teething and resisting naps, these months are flying by.  She is a very observant little girl and studies her toys, surroundings, and people. She likes to do things at her own pace, and even at a young age, is very opinionated and will let us know when she is not happy with something!

And as always, a look back...

She makes us laugh everyday- she will literally be crying/ yelling/ sort of whining and then just like that, will break out in a huge smile and make the cutest cooing/ talking noises. When she gets "talking" she babbles for so long and will have long conversations.  She giggles and gets so excited when she sees something she likes. She loves her high chair and loves eating.

Foods: Apples, bananas, pears, avocado, oatmeal, peas, butternut squash, sweet potato, broccoli, prunes, and carrots

It turns out that she has an allergy to peaches- when she tried those for the first time, she broke out in a rash, got really red cheeks and lips, and was licking her lips a lot which usually indicates lip numbness or tingling. She is too little for Benadryl so our pediatrician said to avoid apricots as well and we'll retry peaches and apricots when she is big enough for Benadryl and see if the reaction is still there.

Sleeping wise, we're doing okay. For the most part, Gabriella is sleeping through the night but she has woken up in the middle of the night several times over the past couple of weeks, sometimes ending up in our bed for a couple of hours. So, it's a work in progress :)

Here are a few more photos of our growing girl!
