Time flies when you are having fun...and that we do on a daily basis with our little Laela Grace. She is truly the love of our lives. Every morning she makes me smile. One of my favorites is being the first to go in and get her out of bed. Laela gets so excited to see a familiar face after a long night of sleep. Her smile and excitement just light up the room!
Well...she is 7 months now. Ro and I just talked about already missing her being so small and cuddly. Seriously...you blink and the time is gone. Laela is almost 22 lbs and loving it. Of course the majority of her weight is in her cheeks and thighs (okay...a little in her belly too!). Laela is still eating 2nd foods but we have just recently started yogurt, meats, and combo meals (chicken noodle dinner, macaroni and veggies, etc.) We have just started giving her a spoon to try it herself. We help her dip the spoon and then she puts it directly in her mouth! Also, She thinks the sippy cup is a bone as she gnaws on it instead of sucking it. Its a work in progress.
Her physical abilities:
She is STILL working on rolling. She does a great job of teetering on her side, but not rolling over completely. I know she can do it because she has 3 or 4 times but she does not seem to even care that she doesn't roll. Oh well! I just want her to be genius baby! :) Speaking of genius...Laela can pick up things, transfer them from hand to hand, put them in her mouth, and move them where ever she wants them.
Here she is having fun on daddy's knee!
She seems to absolutely love sitting with us and being engaged in everything going on at the "big kids" table. Laela has already bonked her head twice on the edge of the table, but she still keeps smiling! 
here is the final product!
What time is it? Where am I? Did I miss dinner?
Burritos? Who brought burritos?
If you look close you can see the little monkey tag on her chest says "I'm not tired." HA! Yeah right! Here is Laela, literally 30 seconds after I put her in the crib tonight.
