7 Months

Ramona is 7 months today! She is getting so big. She is a chunk. Her leg rolls are so cute! She weighs right at 18 lbs. and is about 24 inches long.

She has really started to show her personality. It takes her a while to warm up to people that she isn't around every day, but once she is comfortable Ramona will put on a show. Ramona has started bouncing up and down dancing like she is a head banger. It is hilarious. Apparently she is already a trend setter because she's got 2 boys at daycare following her lead and dancing too.

She just started 2nd foods and is doing so much better with eating solids. Ramona still doesn't care for her veggies, but she is at least finishing jars now. I am still planning on making her baby food. I figure I will start this summer.

Ramona has started laughing. I mean really laughing. She loves Lolli and Pop's dogs. They crack her up and interest her more than her own dogs, poor Faith and Sara as if they care. She likes to "kick" the ball to Bridget, a Boston Terrier who never stops playing ball. We just swing her which makes her feet hit the ball. It is hilarious, but honestly we think everything she does is hilarious. I choose to believe it's because it actually is rather than our bias.

Baby R still has no teeth which I am thankful for since I am still nursing. She is a master at sitting up, but she's not really that interested in crawling. She moves backwards sometimes. She would rather pull herself up when you sit by her. She can't pull herself to a stand yet of course but she is getting the hang of it. Maybe she'll just start walking instead. (Also not ready for that.)

Whatever the case our little Ramona is the most precious and undoubtedly the biggest blessing we've ever received. We love every second with her even during those rather occasions when she is fussy. Ramona baby, we love you!
