Lila Grace at 7 Months...

Our little cupcake is 7 months old & is adding to her bag of tricks daily. The most notable of which, is that Lila Grace said her first word, "Mama", a couple days ago when she spotted me! She has become quite talkative...babbling away, and altering her tone & volume to make her wishes crystal clear. Lila is an observer, a listener...just taking it all in. Can't imagine our little family with out you, pretty girl. We love you so much! Here are a few more milestones Lila is checking off her list at present.

~Loves to play peek-a-boo. Puts her shirt, lovey, or burp cloth over her face, then pulls it back with a big grin.
~She's stuck in reverse! Lila hasn't quite mastered movement in a forward direction. She lunges toward objects from the sitting position, rocks on her hands and knees, then flattens out, raises her feet & scoots backwards. Very frustrating for her, but she'll figure it out soon enough. Mom's enjoying the last few weeks of limited mobility!
~Has sampled all the veggies & is a particular fan of peas & squash. Fruits are on the menu for next week.
~Can drink from a sippy cup. I think most the time she just chews on the spout, but she's getting the hang of it.
~She loves to be sung to....grins the entire time :)
~Is very interested in what people around her are eating.
~Lila Grace loves to be bounced, thrown in the air, & swung.
~Takes 2-3 naps a day, depending on the length of the first two naps. 30-45 minute cat naps in the late afternoon are becoming less frequent. Wakes between 7:30 & 8:00 am, takes a morning nap around 9:30-10 lasting 1 1/2-2 hrs., a PM nap starting at 1:30 or 2 for 1 hr., & occasionally a 30-45 minute late afternoon cat nap around 4:30. If she snags at late afternoon snooze, bedtime is at 8, otherwise, she's out by 7.
