Hannah 7 Months

This post is for me...so that I can record it in my journal...once I find my journal. We're in the middle of a move, but I want to remember these things and so I will take a minute to type them up.

Seven months...what you're doing now:
- You love water with a passion. Tonight you splashed in the bath for an hour. Each splash makes you laugh. We took you to Lake Powell and you would have stayed in the water all day if you could have.
- You also love food! We discovered that if we put noodles on your high chair tray, you will remain silent for quite a long time while you meticulously pick up the noodles and put them in your mouth.
- You have become very good at pinching with your thumb and index finger and pick up anything you find on the carpet...even the tiniest little piece of lint.
- You laugh out loud all the time now, especially when we throw you in the air or blow on your tummy.
- You can sense when I am stressed and then you get upset too.
- You love animals, especially grandma's maltese Max. When you see a dog, you shake your hands in the air and squeal. You even squeal when I show you pictures of dogs.
- You are learning how to wave "bye bye" and almost have it down
- You babble insessantly, your favorite noises are yayayayayay and dadadadada.
- You rarely cry these days, instead you stick your index finger in your mouth and yell yayayayayayaya in a very sad voice
- You still can't crawl, but you pull up to standing on everything and love to open drawers.
- Peek-a-boo is your favorite game, hands down
- Your favorite toy is your little piano
- You just realized that mom and dad are actually in the front seat of the car, so you crane your head around to stare at me during the drive. I think you'll like when you can go in a front-facing car seat.
- You get extremely hyper at night before you go to bed, you wiggle your whole body and try to jump.
- When you are happy, you shake your head "no" at everything I say...hopefully this is not a sign of your future behavior!
- You love being social and being around people. You give a charming grin to anyone who will talk to you.
- You have two little very sharp teeth on the bottom.
- Lately you have been sleeping form 9pm to 9am, usually you wake up once in the night to eat. You also take two 2 hour naps during the day.
- When you want to get a better look at something, you tilt your head sideways. You also crane your head to look at something if an object is blocking your view.
- You often scrunch up your face and breath heavily through your nose, this is not pleasant when you have a cold.
- You are the joy of our lives and we wouldn't change anything about you!
