7 Months

Dear Elizabeth,
These past seven months you have taught me so much about being your Mommy. I've learned when you start squealing and put your fingers in your mouth, that means you are tired and want to be in your crib. You love to be tickled and you love to see new things. You are very curious. It's fun to watch you try new foods. You don't particularly like new foods the first time. After you get used to new introductions, then your mouth opens wide. You enjoy playing with lids, spoons, and jewelry can content you for hours. I love when you melt into me and let me cuddle you. Sometimes when I put you in the middle of the rug, I look back in a minute and you are off on the hardwood floor!

Dear Mary Charlotte,

It's been more than half of a year since you were given to us. You are our baby and the three of us love to take care of you. Clifford is your best friend other than Elizabeth and you love to have your belly blown on by Mommy and Daddy. You love to stand up with our help to see the world better and Lemon drops and Gum drops is your favorite song. You like to play peek-a-boo with the shower curtain and your smiles and laughs are huge. You've learned how to put your paci in your mouth all by yourself and you love to swing more than anything. Grandpa and Grandma's baby swing makes you happy for hours. You like to be outside and you love going to see new people and places in your stroller. 

Just had baths, bellies full and ready for the ride back home

MC says, "My turn for yummy!"

Taking these monthly pictures is slightly more challenging than it used to be!
