7 Months Old

My little baby is 7 months old! I'm a little late on this post due to our travels. Still a chunky monkey and a smiley sweetheart! Her newest developments...
- She scoots all around when lying on her back, and she can move quickly! I wouldn't say she's mobile yet, but she can roll and scoot quite a distance. She's no longer safe on the bed without supervision.
- We added the dream feed (waking her at 10 or 11 to eat) for a little while and then dropped it again. That seemed to help get rid of her 2-4AM wake up, but we still frequently have a 5 or 6AM wake up (and sometimes still earlier). But, then she goes back down till about 8:30 or later, so it's hard to complain about that.
- Because her morning wake up time is so random and we don't like to stay home most mornings, naps have been unpredictable as well. She sometimes still takes 3 shorter naps, but often it's just two regular naps. We might start working on more consistency soon... maybe.
- She eats two full meals a day (a fruit and a veggie).
- She blows raspberries, smiles, and laughs. She's started some other babbles... mostly oohs and ahhs, but pretty rarely still.
- She occasionally gives an open mouth kiss on the cheek when asked, but only does it when she feels like it.
- Her second and third teeth popped through (the third was actually July 5 - right after her 7 month b-day). Her third one is the "fang tooth" on the top... kind of random. :)
