Seven Months Old!

Miss Kinsley turned 7 months on Saturday.  She is growing and changing almost daily.  It's hard to believe what a big girl she's becoming!  She is such a great buddy and as long as she is not too sleepy (and it's not past her bedtime), she's pretty much game for anything.  She is developing such a little personality and just her smile makes my heart swell.

Louie has been so busy the past three months that he hasn't been able to spend nearly the amount of time with her that he would like.  The past few days his consultant has been out of town and I've witnessed the most amazing interactions between daddy and daughter... he is definitely smitten. I love seeing the two of them together. A lot more fun times ahead I'm sure!!


At 7 months, Kinsley:
-Wears size 6-9 month size clothing
-Wears size 3 Pampers Cruisers
-Can sit on her own while manipulating toys or books.
-Still loves to bounce. :)
-Loves to grab Daddy's, Mimi's and Shorty's glasses
-Gets super excited over books. We read "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" by Dr. Seuss one too many times on our trip.  Maybe we should have brought a couple more books!
-Is a very good eater. She has tried rice cereal, greenbeans, peas, squash, sweet potatoes (not a big fan), pears, prunes, and banana flavored puffs. Although, most of the puffs don't actually make it in her mouth.
-Drinks about 7 oz bottle/feeding about every 3 1/2-4 hours
-Is great at going to sleep and sleeps for about 12 hours only waking 1-2/night wanting her paci back.
-Is rolling over back to tummy pretty consistantly but still not as purposeful as I would like.  This could be due to the fact that the girl still likes to be swaddled, so she spends at least 12 hours/day wrapped up like a burrito with her arms pinned by her side.  It's amazing how much she can squirm and roll around all wrapped up.
-Likes to sleep on her side - yes, while she's swaddled.  Doesn't look comfy to me, but okay.
-Has really started to belly laugh. (see video below)
-Likes to make this noise where she smacks her bottom lip against her top gum (still no teeth).  She looks like an old lady smacking for her dentures.
-Also likes to stick out her tounge and say "dadadadada."
-Still likes to watch Cars but is now getting bored with it after about 30 minutes. (Boo.)
-Occasionally still get in her swing.  It still has magical powers. :)

Love you Baby Girl!!
