7 months...

Happy 7 months to my sweet baby girl!!!  Every night when I pray, I thank God for this little blessing he has given to us.  I still can't believe I'm the mother to sweet Vivian Rose.  How did I ever get so lucky?

Vivian's Likes

• Squealing
• Bouncing
• Playing with 'real' objects, e.i. pasta noodles, toilet paper cardboard roll, necklaces, bows
• Taking the place mats off the table
• Throwing objects repeatedly and have mommy pick it up
• Playing Peek-A-Boo
• Loves when Peek-A-Boo Forest is read to her
• Watching Will.I.Am song "What I Am" from Sesame Street.  If she's fussy, I play this and calms her right down.  Amazing.
• Standing 
• Hanging up side down

Vivian's Dislikes

• Tummy time.  We have given up.
• Running the water in the big bath tub.  She cries until I turn it off. 
• Trying puree foods.  We've tried oatmeal, applesauce, avocado, sweet potatoes, carrots.  Once in a blue moon she'll take a couple of bites, but for the most part, she wants nothing to do with it. 
• Doing one activity for too long.  She gets bored easily.  

For Mommy and Daddy

You are a pro at sitting up.   You are going to do things at your own time (holding your own bottle, using a sippy cup, taking a bath in the big tub and not in the sink, eat mommy's yummy pureed food, crawl).  Mommy knows you it will all happen when you are ready.  I mean, you aren't going to be an adult that doesn't know how to eat, walk, take a bath.  You have a lot of attitude already.  You get mad quickly.  You have mommy and daddy wrapped around your little finger.  You are a thinker.  You are extremely cautious.  You all ready have 'stranger danger.'  You are the BEST little girl in the whole wide world!!!

Can't believe in 5 months you'll be a 1 year old!  Growing up on me too fast little one!
