Seven and a Half Months

Hello, Cordy!

You've been a busy girl, popping out another tooth! Your two bottom teeth are now in fully. What else have you done lately?

You sat up on your own! You're getting pretty good at this new trick, and we cheer and clap for you when you do it. You can clap along with us! You open your mouth super-wide and say "Ahhhhhwoooohhhaaaaahhhh!" when you clap. It's soo cute.

You love to laugh, here you are from last Tuesday, laughing at Aunt Krista's fun giraffe toy.


Mommy and Daddy are glad your teething pains are done for now, you had a hard week last week. We worked to help you stay comfortable and gave you things to chew, like your raspberry in the picture.

You are growing up! You can hold your own bottle, turn on and off your seahorse and piano toys, and army-crawl super-fast after Jiji. You like to touch his feet, and he lets you sometimes. Other times he leads you around the floor in a wild goose-chase. You're the silly goose who's chasing, of course! =D

We love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our lives, Sweet Girl!

Seven Months!

Cordy,
You turned seven months old on Sunday! Only five more months of being an infant, but you'll always be my baby. ^^
You spent a week at the lake. While you were there you swam for the first time:
And you played on the swings for the first time:
We had a very fun time!

So, what are you doing? You can army crawl! You went four body lengths chasing the remote control on Sunday. You need a good reason to go, and you work hard to do it, so it can be frustrating. You're getting your knees up under you and rocking back and forth as of today! Crawling is coming into style in this house!

You like to play and sleep with PhillipJohnnyBob, your stuffed elephant.

He's named after the elephant in the Junie B. Jones books. We really hope you will enjoy reading those.

You also are eating meats now! You have eaten turkey and chicken, and tonight is roast beef! But wait, it's not Thursday! Oh well. =)

We love you so very much, and are having a blast playing with you and watching you learn and grow.

Six Month Checkup

Hello, Sweet Girl!
You are sleeping (for over an hour and a half now) after a long drive and a visit to the doctor. Mommy gave you Tylenol before we went in, because she knew you were getting shots. =(
You weigh 20.5 lbs and are 29 inches long. Your weight is in the 96th percentile and your length is in the 98th percentile. You are still developmentally ahead by 2-3 months, according to the doctor. He said you are perfect. =D You wowed him with sitting up, rolling over, and turning while on your tummy. When you got your shots you only fussed for a few seconds.
This week so far has been very fun. What are you up to? You took a trip to Mimi's lake house! We went swimming in the lake and you were amazed at how big everything was. You played with your toys and are working to crawl sooo hard! I can't wait to see you finally get there. Your hair is getting longer. In places it's over an inch long, and it's coming in light. We're still not sure what color it will end up to be!
You are so sweet and happy. We are definitely blessed to have you, and Mommy will have pictures and videos to show off soon!
We love you!
