Happy 7 Month Birthiversary!

Things we don't want to forget about this stage:

+ The way she cackles, especially when you do it back to her

+ How she gets really mellow and leans into it when you put your finger in her ear, kind of like when you scratch Trudy's ear

+ How she will try to stand using just about anything, including Otis, and often lets go, like in the picture

+ The way she will hold her mouth open wide, feet kicking waiting for the next bite, then rest her head on her shoulder while she is swallowing

+ Her crawling to and then snuggling with Otis

+ When I take her out of the bath and shake her off, singing "Shake your booty," and she laughs

+ How you can feel her heartbeat in her fontanel

+ Times when she gives you real hugs, her little hands squeezing you closer

+ The way she crawls toward you, laughing, when you get down on all fours

+ Knowing that she is standing in her crib just by listening to her panting through the monitor

+ The way she covers her eyes with the back of her hand while nursing

If we forgot anything we will add it here. Check out more cute pictures on flickr.
