7 months


What a month! Poppy's been at it again! More and more milestones. 
She stood on her own.
Cruises the furniture.
Says  "dada".
Loves ice cream and her daddy.
Is wearing size 3 diapers and 9 months clothes. 
Some 12 months stuff too.
When I sing to her she claps her hands.
She loves playing with her rattle and the boys' legos.
They're already fighting over toys.
She loves riding in the jogging stroller "chasing" her brothers.
She's a fast crawler and disappears as soon as she hits the ground.
Still hates the bottle, but goes after the boys' cups.
Doesn't know what to think of dogs. Nena has barked while playing with the boys and she flipped out, but if Nena's laying down next to her she's usually fine.
She's starting to make peace with baby food and eats much more of it now. 
I'm still giving her some table foods, like mashed potatoes, avocado, sweet potatoes, bananas, etc and she likes those, too.
Loves that thumb.
Has been fighting her naps lately. Not pretty.
Is constantly trying to eat paper. She will find it. Even if we think we have picked up every trace of paper in the entire house, she will find some more and give us a heart attack as she tries to devour it. She knocked a magazine off the coffee table the other day and ripped it to shreds and started shoving pieces in her mouth. Thanks for the panic attack, Poppy.
When she gets shy, she'll raise her little hands and clasp them above her forehead.
She dances when she gets real proud of herself for standing up.
No sign of teeth so far (thank God).
Some nights she sleeps in her bed all night, with no problems. 
Other nights she'll go to sleep just fine, but wake up around midnight to claim her rightful place smack dab in the middle of our bed so she can snack for the rest of the night. She's just so busy during the day that she isn't interested in eating much and by nighttime she's starving.

She's a happy baby. 
The princess.
Constantly surrounded by her boys, friends, and everyone loving on her.

She's so cute and she knows it.
We got her Halloween costume this week and she is going to be the most precious baby elephant ever. She just giggled away when we tried it on her.
It's feeling like fall in Georgia so I've been breaking out her adorable sweaters. 
By noon it's smoldering all over again so she's stripped back down to a onesie.
But for mornings--it's on!

There's so much excitement ahead in the next few months:
first holidays
trips to visit family
first move
and a very-fast-approaching first birthday
(that I don't want to think about just yet...).

Love that chocolate-face!
