{seven months}

Seven months of loving you....

Yes, I say this every month....but I cannot possibly fathom how the last seven months have gone by so quickly.

You are beautiful and sweet and spunky and fun.

And you still have the cutest toes in the whole world!

Natalie Grace, you are growing and changing so fast.  It seems like every day you are doing something new and exciting.  Sitting up, eating new foods, scooting around on the floor, breaking in a new tooth, making new sounds - it is always something.  You surprise us with how quickly you learn.

This past month has definitely been full of the most change since you were born.  Mommy back to work, baby to daycare.  We are finally in a workable routine.  You have adjusted well, and while I miss you like crazy all day every day, I know that this is what is best for us. 

You still nap three times a day.  To bed at 7:30, and I wake you at 6:30 the next morning.  Mommy is so glad that you have always been a good sleeper -- you must get that from your daddy. :)

This month, you are loving your exersaucer, moving, singing & dancing, music, trying new foods, playing with your toys, reading books, YOUR DADDY, being outside, riding in the car, and grabbing at hair/faces/jewelry/clothing, etc.

Feeding has changed once again.  I've given up pumping at work, so I nurse you morning and evening, and you have formula the rest of the day.  You haven't seemed to notice the change, really.  You enjoy bottle time with mommy just as much as you enjoy nursing.

I am in complete awe of you, sweet baby girl.

 You are my sweetest dream, come true. 

These blue eyes of yours are so enchanting...

My life will never be the same.  In seven months you have consumed me.  My heart will never stop loving you, my beautiful baby girl.

Love,
Momma
