7 glorious months!

I can't believe little daphne is 7 months old. what a little lady.
I also can't believe I still have around 7 pounds to loose of baby weight and how much cuter daph's baby fat looks on her than it does on me. oh well, that's a whole other (long.. depressing...) post.

So daphne is just adorable, if we do say so ourselves. She is so fun and entertaining. i never knew she would be this cool.


@ 7 months here's the update:

daphne is a crawling machine. she's moved on from the army crawl almost completely and can motor around on her hands and knees any place she pleases. she used to only stay in one room but then figured out that if i'm in the kitchen and she is in the family room, she can come and see me! its really fun to see her little body slink around the corner.

she is a babbler. she likes to say dadda but mostly (sorry...) it's momma. we've been teaching her sign language too. only a few words right now but it's obvious that persistance helps. I do the "mom" sign whenever i say mom, momma, mommy ect. and she is catching on! when she signs it back to me i freak out. it's cute.


she loves to wave hi. she can also combine hi and the mom sign for a nice friendly greeting to me. its so cute. waving goodbye hasn't caught on so much, goodbyes are just sad- even daphne knows that.

she still hates food. my mom was determined that she would be eating baby food by the time we left colorado. she tried several times (and has SO much more patience than i do!) but, to no avail. this girl gags and makes a scene over just about everything (fruit, vegetables, juice, icecream ect). everything but these gerber puffs that are mild cheddar flavor. that's right, our baby eat cheetos and practically nothing else (but lots of milk)


she loves to laugh this really cheesy laugh and smiles practically all the time. we're lucky she is such a happy baby- her happiness is contagious.


peek-a-boo is her favorite game. if she is sad and crying, a game of peek-a-boo will change it all.

we love our little daphne.
