Holy Cow - 7 months!

Life has been insane, and I can't say I have been all that graceful at handling life as a working mom with 2 kids. However, everyone is happy and healthy even though Mom is exhausted!

Amelia is 7 months old today, and here are some notes on her development:

• Teething. Awesome. The first one came out of no where 2 weeks ago, but lately she has been snotty, cranky, and waking up at all hours.
• Eating. She eats everything. She seems constantly hungry and is always thrilled to have more food. We got her her own high chair so she now sits at the table and not on the table - very Exciting! I think she loves being in her own chair, and when she is done eating, she is mostly content sitting in her chair and chewing on a teething biscuit or frozen fruit until the rest of us are done with dinner.
• Moving. Amelia motors everywhere, though still in the army crawl. She often gets up on her hands and knees and can sometimes scoot both her legs forward at once, but she hasn't figured out the real crawl, though I imagine it is coming soon.
• Communicating. Though she hasn't started with many of her consonants, she engages with her squeaks and her grunts. She is ahead of the curve physically so I am not concerned that she might be a week or 2 behind the curve verbally.
• Sleeping. Still not through the night, especially while teething. She seems fine with it, but I am pretty cranky. :)
• Siblings. Miles adores her and she adores him. Lately the two have become quite chatty at night with each other and part of their routine involves entertaining one another before the drift off. It is literally my favorite time of night when we've put them to bed and listen to them build their relationship.
  

More to come soon, she is an amazing little love and we can hardly imagine life without her.
