7 months... on the down hill slide to one

Today marks Madalyn being 7 months old and I have to say I'm a little heartbroken. My little girl is growing up way too fast. While I enjoy watching her become her own person, I really wish she would just stay little for a little while longer.

Madalyn is quite independent. She likes to do things on her own time. This includes everything from eating to pooping to sleeping. She is very spoiled and we are ok with that... we waited a long time for her and she is a very happy baby!

This month Mady had her 6 month check up. She had a rough week after her shots, but she is absolutely perfect!

Here are a few of the highlights from this month:
She can say "mama" and "baba" (although she doesn't know what they mean, but I like to think she does)
She loves loves loves avocado.
She still doesn't like rice or cereal.
She can stand by herself if she has something to lean on.
She is trying so hard to crawl.
When she gets on her back she reminds us of a turtle who is on its shell.
She can hold her own bottle.
She loves to scream!
She still loves Elmo.
She knows Titan and likes to pet him when he lets her.
She recognizes her name.
She is a very ticklish on her tummy and feet!

Overall, Mady is one of the happiest babies I know. Tom and I are so very blessed to have such a beautiful, smart and healthy little girl. I just can't believe that she is already 7 months old. *sigh*
