Out of the Mouths of Babes...and Dudes- John Bytheway

"I always wondered how people could say. " I love you" to people they don't even know, but now I realize that we all knew each other well a long time before. We're really just finally meeting up with old friends. "

Up date


Time has flown by Hailey is now 7 months old. It is so fun.

Things she can do: Crawl- she has gotten so much faster at it. She is even better at crawling over things like my legs or just other objects that are in her way. She is starting to figure out how to crawl up on things (of course things of smaller size) but up.

She can pull her self up on almost anything that she can reach. She loves to walk along the edge of the couch. She tries to go in between things like a chair and another chair without sitting down. She can open her dresser drawers.

She has become a little socialite. She loves talking to anyone who will listen or just herself. A big smiler and we think she is starting to understand how to wave goodbye. Right now it is just her raising her arm crazy like, but she is moving it and is supper cute. She is starting to make more familiar sounds like the two letter sounds- (ex...ba,oo,aa,) It is so cute.

Food/Drink: She has tried bread and tortillas, but the tortillas was a bad idea because they are sticky in your mouth so it was a little more difficult for her to eat, but she got it down. She has tried a couple of cheerios and crackers.

She has tried carrots and green beans. Well she has sucked on carrots. I haven't actually given her mashed carrots yet, but she sure does like them. She has eaten green beans and liked them. But i sure didn't like changing the diaper after them...gross.

She has tried plums and really enjoyed them. But we are trying to stay away from fruits and sugar because i didn't want her to grow up with too big of a sugar tooth just yet. To be honest i would hope we could avoid giving her candy until shes like 5, but i kinda doubt that it will happen, but that would be my hope.

She has only had water for now. I really don't want to give her juice yet because they are so sweet. I know i could supper water them down but that's okay. Also i don't want her to only want juice. She really likes water so why give her flavored water.

She is growing so fast. Some times she will head to her room to tell me she wants to eat I look at the clock and do some math and she is right it is about the time where she could eat. Another night she headed into the bathroom for her bath. I looked at the clock and she was right around the normal time for bath time. It is so funny how they love their schedules.
