Adventures of Rebekah: 7 months old

Dear Rebekah, 

This past Sunday you turned 7 months old (mommy is a little behind because we have had some special visitors staying with us!) 

We have had such a fun month with you!

You are such a good little helper around the house. You love to help me do the laundry and vacuum. 

And you love mommy's shoes and purses! 

This month you learned to sit up and army crawl - no real crawling yet but you like to rock back and forth on your knees and make mommy think you are going to crawl. 

You got to try lots of new foods this month: carrots, green beans, plums, pears, avocado, prunes, and apples. 

Your most favorite is avocado. Your least favorite is pears and prunes. You LOVE to eat! You get so excited when you know it's time to eat some food that your little arms and legs start to shake and wiggle...

Speaking of wiggling - you are such a mover and shaker! You are happiest when you can move around on the floor and explore - but you always keep a close eye on mommy. You are not a fan of me leaving the room! 

No teeth yet, but you love to chew on everything. 

You also went swimming in a real pool for the first time this month! 

The water was a little chilly, but I think you liked splashing around. 

For the last week and a half you have gotten to spend lots of time with your Grandma Seger - she came for a visit! 

We went on walks and went to the mall (you were not so impressed with the mall as documented in the above picture). We read books and played on the floor. It was a very fun time with grandma. 

I just can't say it enough - you are such a sweet girl. When you are sleeping in your own crib in your own room, I watch you on the monitor and just want to go in and scoop you up and cuddle you - you have become quite a little snuggle bug! Daddy loves to snuggle you on the couch when he gets home from work. 

And mommy loves to snuggle you in your rocking chair. 

We love you so much, sweet Rebekah, and thank God every day that He let us be your parents!
