7 months old!

Wow, time really does fly when one is having fun! Hannah is now 7 months old. She is getting bigger and growing up fast! In the past month we have reached quite a few milestones:

Two teeth have arrived. The two bottom teeth cut within 5 days of each other, but she handled it like a trooper. She was a little more cranky than usual, but that was about it. I am slightly suspicious that another is on its way, if her diapers are any hint of what is to come. 

We are lucky enough to have a baby who really is not picky about baby food. She is starting to play with the Gerber Puffs we are putting on her tray. I am not sure one has quite made it into her mouth yet, but at least she is showing interest. She is getting much better with a sippy cup. She does not drink from it much yet, but she does like chewing on it and it keeps her happy in the car!

Crawling is in the very near future in the Forsha house. She is getting up on her hands and knees and rocking all the time. Rolling and inchworming on her back are the modes of transportation at this point, but she does move her knees and then lunge to move forward. She watches quite intently if anyone is crawling, so I have a feeling she will be figuring it out soon. 

She has also decided that sitting up is fun and makes playing with her toys much easier, so we are now willing to do it. She can get herself to the sitting position from laying, so her crib was lowered recently. She does not do it a whole lot, but she can if she chooses. 

This month has been both quiet and busy for us. We went to Peoria, IL the first weekend in August for Elizabeth’s baptism. We had a lot of fun swimming with the boys and meeting our newest niece! Uncle Thom even took Elizabeth swimming! 

Grandma Linda and Grandpa Steve came home with us and spent almost a week helping me repaint the basement and bathroom. We were able to get everything done and even had time to throw a barbeque with some friends. Hannah very much loved having Grandma around for 6 whole days. Thankfully she was very content to play while we were painting. 

The past couple weeks have been pretty quiet. We just took her to her sitting up pictures with Dede Holman. She did great and we know we are going to have another round of really cute pictures and a really hard time deciding which ones to get. I will post the link when I get it so you can see her pictures online. 

In a few weeks we are off on another week vacation on Dale Hollow Lake with Thom’s side of the family. I will be sure to share pics of that week as H and Sage will be together at the beach!
