7 months!

These monthly birthday's sure come around fast...Maddie's growing up quickly and picking up momentum on reaching many milestones. I'm finding her sleeping on her tummy now when I get her out of her crib. Rolling has become a favorite new trick. She's sleeping a 6-7 hour stretch at night which has been SO NICE for me...finally, some sleep! We've gotten the OK to let her sleep now and wake up when she's hungry but most of the time, I still wake her. I sometimes wonder how long she'd really sleep if I didn't wake her up! The girl has a lack of appetite and enjoys her sleep. Wish I had that! She's so close to sitting up and loves standing with the help of holding onto hands. These are things I wasn't expecting for her until 9 or 10 months. She hasn't let that heart of her stop her! And I'm happy to say that now she officially enjoys her baby food. It took almost a month of convincing though... she's finally welcoming a bite rather than spitting it out or doing the tongue thrust. Here's some pictures of her at mealtime and her favorite thing to gum around, an arrowroot cookie. Teeth have got to be on the way!
