7 Monthing

Another month has come and gone and our BELLA is an utter joy in our home.

Update:

Her calm nature is such a blessing in our home. When her brother is on his wild rampages she helps to keep some balance. The swing seems to have lost its allure and is now in storage. She refuses to do anything but nurse, takes about 3 bites of baby food grudgingly. And bottles are just another chew toy, she hates when we try to get her to drink them. No teeth buds or swollen gums as of yet. SO at least we are in the clear for that.

Weight: 18 lbs
Height: 27 inches

Milestones:

Moving around with a scoot and crawl combo. She gets on all fours, raises her butt in the air so she is on her tippy toes, and lunges forward. Sometimes we get knee movement in their and some army crawling and an occasional full on crawl. Rolling is her fondest mode of transportation though. 

Tries to pull herself up on the couch a few times, but she is rarely successful. She can bear some of the weight on her legs though, if not all.
Babbling with emotion, when sad or happy.
Plays with specific toys. Changes toys from one hand to the next, brings to mouth. Uses the racking grasp to reach and grab toys just out of reach.
Responds to her name.
Discovered her head, hair, ears. Occasionally she grasps at them, as if to say "What is that?". Fortunately she doesn't pull off her bows yet :)

Likes

Rolling and playing by herself for hours at a time, if I let her. Of course Connor usually joins her or entertains her every few minutes.  

Baths with her Connor Buddy. 

Loves when her brother brings over his toys to play and share.
Rattles.
Loves playing on her belly. And getting places.
Ice Cream.
Connor joining her in the Pack n play.
Daddy putting her to sleep.

Dislikes

Hates when she scoots and rolls too far away. And hates screaming and not getting picked up right away, (we try to get her to crawl back to us).
Getting put in the car seat.
Baby food, rice cereal.
Stuck in spaces she can't go; under the couch, corners, pillows, etc.

Diving into Connor's OH SO SOFT Pillows.
