7 months old

With every day that goes by, Sawyer continues to show her blossoming personality (even though I feel we've seen it since day 1). Sometimes I am just in awe of her...everything about her just blows me away. I am just head over heels in love with our sweet baby girl. From her beyond happy personality to the milestones she seems to be accomplishing left and right, I just couldn't be prouder of her.

7 months....7 months....it just sounds old! And let me tell you, this little girl thinks she's old too! Little missy decided she wasn't having that pureed food so we now feed her chunks of steamed fruits and veggies. No joke, I've got a shopping bag full of baby food that I'm going to give to daycare so it doesn't go to waste. After only making it through squash, sweet potatoes and carrots, Sawyer decided to go on a 2 week food strike....oh dear. No joke, this girl would not open her mouth for anything but cereal, bottles, mum mums or to nurse. We even decided to buy the baby bullet and start making our own baby food thinking that maybe she disliked the texture of the packaged food. NOPE...no change! The Dr. gave us the go ahead on finger foods to see if that would help and hallelujah she LOVES it! Sad to say that we aren't getting any use of the baby bullet we bought, but we do use the steamer and the food jars. Last night Sawyer was eating her avocados and apples in her high chair, looking as cute as ever with her pig tails in her hair and I just couldn't believe how old she looked to me! 7 months....where has the time gone?!

Right now Sawyer...

-weighs almost 22 lbs...wow!

-blows raspberries like crazy

-shows her preference over certain toys

-has started showing her stubborn side and temper (don't know who she got that from ha!)

-would rather sit on the floor and play with her toys than be held

-calms down when she hears patty cake. She'll stop crying for this but will start back up the second you stop!

-Head butts the ones she loves. It sounds violent but it's actually quite sweet and you can tell it's a loving gesture with the precious smile she gives you along with it.

-has started reaching out for people.

-has two top teeth coming in

-eats three meals a day including her milk in between the meals

-favorite foods are avocados, apples and sweet potatoes

-is so photogenic! She loves to smile for the camera :)

-is such a Daddy's girl. She laughs like crazy when he nuzzles into her neck & loves to play with him.

-enjoyed her first sleepover with her buddy Jordyn.

-likes to pull her headbands and bows off while we are in the car. Mommy has to wait to put them on whenever we get to where we are going.

-can get into the sitting position on her own. We looked at her monitor yesterday to find her sitting her in crib and then watched her lay back down and do it all over again! 

Happy 7 months Sawyer Marguerite!!
