Happy 7 Months to My Cupcake!

Over half way to one year! Lexi is looking less and less like an infant and more like a little girl every day. Some times I look at her and think, how did you get so big?? Her big milestones this month were saying her first word, "Dada" and holding onto the baby gate and standing by herself. KJ and I are trying to get her to crawl, but no cigar yet. She keeps lunging forward, face plants, and then cries. She doesn't really get the whole catching yourself thing yet. She'll get there, though.

KJ was very excited for Lexi to say Dada first. The week before she started saying it she was saying Baw-baw a lot and I thought for sure it would turn into Mama. She gave up on that though and said Dada instead. She doesn't say it purposefully yet, like she doesn't look at KJ and call him that, but we're still counting it as her first word.

Some little things, her hair keeps growing. There's almost enough now that I can put a little barrette in it. She's starting to get too big for her 6m clothes. She's filling out her 6-9m ones much better. After the holiday break we started adding in a second meal of solids at lunch time. We've also introduced a sippy cup. She doesn't really get it yet, but we're working on it.

Lots of Love,
KJsbabe
