You are my ham, turkey, bean burger, bacon bit of sweet cherry pie! And YOU are 7 months Miss Charlotte Rose!
Time is going too fast for me to keep up with.
Major milestones of the month (that's right, plural milestoneS):
two teeth *chomp chomp*
crawling *on the move*
I spend most of our time together now saying “Momma” in a slow
and pronounced voice… which you actually think is hilarious. I take serious
offense to your laughter Charlotte. It’s as if you are saying “Woman, there is
no way in the entire world I’m going to let that sound come out of my mouth
before I’ve mastered the art of chewing on my blocks”. Let me tell you
something, Miss Sassy Pants, “Momma” WILL be the first word that comes out of
your mouth or you are grounded from all block chewing.
Speaking of block chewing….
How can one little person be so obsessed with a small piece of wood with paint
on it? The other day I was making myself lunch and you sat for 10 straight
minutes not making a single sound, chewing on the same yellow block. I kept
coming in to check on you and sure enough, that block had not left your mouth.
Why do I bother shaking rattles and light up toys in front of your face all
day? All you need is a single yellow block and your world is perfect.
So now that you are crawling, I have to kiss all your sweet
rolls good-bye (and kiss I do!). I know that this is probably the peak of your
lovely, voluptuous, rolly polly, sweet and round figure. It breaks my heart. My
next purchase for you will be a chunky suit (it's totally different from a fat suit, I swear), just so I can strap it on you
whenever I’m missing my sweet chunky 7 month old.
Also, did you know that your toes are not ACTUALLY meant for
eating? I was wondering if you knew that, because you seem to think that is
their sole purpose in life. You don’t even need salt or ketchup on them, you just
love them plain. Fresh out of the sock is usually your favorite. And now you
know how to arrange that all on your own. It seems I’m in a constant state of
searching for your socks while you drool all over your feet.
Do you want to know what else you are eating these days?
Green beans, carrots, rice cereal, squash, oatmeal, and banana. Oh happy happy
happy you! You LOVE eating. You giggle and smack your lips together. But over
the past couple days you’ve started making this really cute face where you stick
your jaw out and smile so I can see your two teeth…. Yes, dear, I see your two
teeth, but that doesn’t mean you are ready for chocolate chip cookies yet. We
started moving a little faster with your trials as you have yet to have a
reaction since your bad Oatmeal experience last month. Until we notice any
discomfort, we will keep trekking through the produce isle. My prayer is that
because we got on top of your MPI so early you’ve already had a good chance to
heal and you will be ready for birthday cake come June 25th.
Your night time sleeping is still pretty sporadic. Sometimes
you wake up 3 times sometimes you wake up once. Starting Rice Cereal has helped
us move really close to you sleeping through the night. We can not wait for
that day sweet girl. Whenever you are ready - we will happily throw you a party
(chocolate chip cookies included) to celebrate your sleeping success.

| This face! |

| Nom nom nom |

| You were sick and cutting your first tooth. My sweetie sick girl. |
 |
| Your new best friend was found during our kitchen makeover while the mirror sat on the floor :) |
 |
| Thank you for still falling asleep on me. You melt my heart. |
Each month gets more fun with you. Every time your brother hit a new milestone I would get so excited. Every time you hit a new milestone I just get so sad. I was so anxious for your brother to grow and I'm so scared for you to. But I'm enjoying each stage as you learn and discover.
 |
| Your favorite pose - Planking. |
 |
| The beach is our favorite place to be, so I'm glad you love it too! |
 |
| Your brother is always close by, helping and loving you. |
The best thing that happened this month was: watching you figure out how to crawl
The funniest thing that happened this month was: EVERYTHING! You make me laugh EVERY day. Your planking, your facial expressions, your response to every new touch, sense, and taste! You are so cute.
The worst thing that happened this month was: cutting teeth and a MISERABLE cold that kept you from sleeping for days. We all, inevitably, caught it too.
Thank you for lighting up our whole world with love and laughter. You are so amazing and beautiful and perfect. Happy 7 months dear girl.
