Olivia turns seven months old today and she's definitely changed over the past month. She's a crawling machine all over the house. Her favorite game is chasing after poor Penny who runs away in fear when Liv gets close. Occassionally Olivia will creep up when Penny is sleeping and grab her paw- I find it quite funny (so does Liv).
Liv currently weighs in at 17 pounds, 6 ounces and 27 inches long. She's on the same growth pattern-- about 50th percentile in weight, 75th percentile in height and only 25th percentile in her head size.
Still no teeth, but the pediatrican thought she could feel them coming. Liv's eating two solids meals a day-- particularly loving her yogurt. She's started to eat some puffs and is figuring out how to get them from the tray to her mouth with much success. Such good hand-eye coordination!
Her newest trick is pulling herself up on anything- stable or not. She figured out how to stand in her crib and has started to cruise around in there, frequently falling and bumping her head. I swear she know where the monitor is because I often wake up to her starring directly into the camera as if she is saying, "I know you see and hear me!"
When you hold onto her fingers, she does her little walking moves like she's dancing or prancing around. She's figured out the correct way to move her legs and feet forward, so I think with a little more practice she could be walking in the next few months. Then Penny better really watch out!
We are still waiting for her to really let the belly laughs out. She gives you a chuckle, but never the full laugh that her face implies she's having. We even asked the pediatrican and her advice was for us to be funnier. (A crush to her dad who thinks he's already pretty hysterical.)
Every day I love watching her explore the world around her and discovering her own talents along the way. I can't wait to see what the next month holds for my sweet baby girl!
(PS- My official 7 month onesie hasn't arrived yet-- but will take those pictures once it does!)
