7 Months!

On Tuesday, Ellie turned the big 7 month marker. Wow, over half a year old!

At 7 months, Ellie is expressive both with her voice and her facial expressions. She can sit up on her own 98% of the time. She likes to jump in her excer-saucer and her hanging door jump thing, reminding me of an untrained, semi-crazed ballerina. She can almost pop herself out of her Bumbo by arching her back to show how she is done eating. She can roll around like a pro. She can stand with help. She can pivot and reach for things on the floow (no crawling yet!) She is curious, dramatic, a cuddlebug, and her smile and laugh can brighten your day a million-fold.

I love the jeans, and the first picture is so cute! I've been told the time after a baby can sit up by herself and before she learns to crawl is a pretty fantastic time for the parents-they can amuse themselves sitting up, but can't escape anywhere when you turn your back! Hope you're taking advantage. :)
