7 Months!



Sweet Abigail is 7 months old!

~Bring on the steak!  Abigail cut her two front bottom teeth!  She did great--only some extra mouthing of toys and a few clingy days.
~We've started to introduce more baby foods.  She has been eating a "dinner" and we just started including a "lunch."  She seems to enjoy rice cereal, oatmeal, and peas the most.  She was indifferent to carrots and not a huge fan of pears and sweet potatoes.  Recently, she has decided that the best time to blow raspberries is just after receiving a spoon of food.  Watch out!
~She's getting better at rolling, including back to belly and belly to back!  She'll roll several times one day, and none the next.  She's also able to transition from sitting to her belly and is getting more graceful at this move.
~Abby seems to be getting the idea of mobility.  While on her tummy, she's stretching her arms and raising her upper body to her waist.  She's also kicking her legs more and attempting to raise her bottom!
~We're making great improvements in the crib sleeping during the day!  For a while, she would take a decent morning nap in her crib, but struggled with her afternoon nap.  Recently, she's taking a good morning nap and a decent afternoon nap in her crib.  We're getting there!
~She's also doing a great job with sleeping at night.  She goes to bed immediately after her brothers (~7:30pm) and wakes around 5:00am-5:30am.  Depending on who else is awake, she may or may not go back to sleep after nursing. We no longer put the boppy in bed with her, but continue putting something that smells like Mommy, just in case that is helping her!
~Abigail is quite the ham!  She loves flashing her gorgeous smile to others and also for the camera.  When around larger groups of people, she seems to get a little overwhelmed and prefers to be with Mommy and Daddy.
~Abby is working on how to manipulate things. She can easily pick up and manipulate her pacifier to fit correctly in her mouth.  She has also figured out how to turn on her musical soother in her crib. 
~She continues to be Gabby Abby.  She likes to "tell us stories" and is babbling rather than cooing.
~Abigail has a great personality!  She's such a happy, giggly girl!  She definitely notices when others aren't around or are walking away from her, but she has a wonderful temperament overall!
~Abby is adored by her brothers!  Brennan and Gavin love to sing to her, talk to her, make her giggle, and bring her toys.
