The Wright Family: 7 Months!

Yesterday our little bear turned 7 months old! She is more wiggley than ever (see pictures below) and on the verge of crawling . She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. She is a determined little girl, and I would be surprised if we made it through the weekend without her putting it all together and taking off!

Wow, at 7 months Blair shows such personality. She is the happiest little thing in the mornings... we don't know where she gets that from. She's got this big gummy smile that makes her whole face light up, especially when we pick her up from school or she hasn't seen us in awhile. My favorite smile is still her shy girl smile that she gives people. It is adorable.

Blair loves to put anything in her mouth (hello teeth!), likes to play with her toys (though notably she thinks the tv remote is hers), and bounce in her bouncer. She likes to look at her books, though gets very frustrated if she isn't able to turn the page. I am tallking frustrated. And mad. Whew, we are in trouble with that! She just wants to do much more than she is physically capable - but she will get there. She still loves to play with Raleigh and Kingsley. Kingsley cracks her up, probably because he rarely shows interest, and when he does, he brushes up against her and he is super soft. She giggles every time. One of Blair's favorite things to do, is to have Mommy or Daddy pick her up and "chase" Raleigh around the house. The laughs that come out of her are hysterical. Blair loves "Chica" from the Sprout channel. Chica is a little chicken puppet that squeaks and B loves it. We found a puppet on Etsy that is pretty close and all we need to do is add a little squeaker.

Blair is on Stage 2 foods and has tried all kinds of neat foods... like Macaroni and Cheese! Haha, she loved it, just as I knew she would. She is a very good eater, but doesn't care much for peas and green beans (what kid does?). She loves yogurt! That has been a fun addition to her menu.

Any time she tries a food she hasn't had in awhile, she makes this "yucky" face and shakes her head like we are feeding her the grossest thing possible. It fades by the second bite, but is still pretty silly. Blair is still happy to have a bottle in between meals. As active as this little girl is, she needs her calories!

As you might have seen from a previous post... Blair now has a tooth (well, it is working it's way out)! Finally! We have been working on it forever!

Sleeping... eh, yeah, about that. We are ready for this girl to start pulling all-nighters, but no such luck. Especially when she is sick (like she is with this pesky ear infection). She wakes up anywhere from 1 - 3 times a night and after about 4 or 5 oz of her bottle, she is back down. She is still going to bed pretty early, anywhere from 5pm (last night) to 6:30pm. Generally, she is up by 6 or 6:30am (this morning she slept to 7:15am!). Blair rarely naps, and if she does, they last about 20 minutes. Like I said before, she doesn't like to miss out on anything!

This weekend we are spending time at the house, trying to get everyone over being sick. Today we will be carving Blair's pumpkin and I have a little art project planned if she is up for it! I will be sure to post those pictures later!

Here are B's monthly pictures. This month was by far the msot difficult since Blair wanted to move the entire time. She doesn't ever really stay still, so it was quite a challenge. These were the best I could get! Enjoy!
