Happy SEVEN Months, Bug!

On the first day of your very first vacation you turned SEVEN months! You definitely proved what an amazing seven month old you are while on your almost 11 hour, angelic ride to Myrtle Beach. We have the most easy-going, content, sweetest little girl ever imaginable...that's our story and we're sticking to it.
You have become a very curious little scooter [yes, scooter. I have come to realize your form of crawling differs from the norm] over the past month. I have to get on my hands and knees to examine the floor before letting you roam, otherwise you will find the most microscopic piece of whatever and try to devour it. Although, when it is time for peas, banana or anything else yummy, you wait for it to be placed in your mouth[you are like that little bird I was trying to avoid, but it is too adorable to change]. You sit up like a champ and even reach down to get things while keeping your balance. And you have also pulled yourself up ONCE.yes, once....I'm pretty sure you were just trying to impress your two little friends we were with that day.
There is also this adorable reaching thing you do when you want us to pick you up. THAT right there is a heart melter...especially for Daddy when you're on my hip and those little arms reach for him [that is his kryptonite and he is like a squishy ball of mush when this happens].
Your vocabulary is increasing and we are quite sure you say and wave bye-bye...even though it is not very precise, you are definitely working on it. I actually didn't fully believe that [because Me-mom swore you did it and grandmothers tend to think they see their grandchildren do something extraordinary.hehe] until you mocked me tonight. It was quite clear, the "buh-buh" and wave. But, the air is always filled with your adorable jibber jabber now and if you think we are not paying attention, you just raise your volume and wait for a response...which you usually get because you are so darn cute and it also makes me realize you are definitely going to have Daddy's adorable personality. The way you love to make us laugh has me wondering what we are in store for!
You love bananas and yobaby yogurt, Kick with excitement when I lay you down for bed, wind your mobile and sing "You are my sunshine", Smile at everyone that goes by, Laugh at everyone except Daddy, Sing when you hear music and Fill our hearts with love.

Time is going by too fast, Madeline. We know you need to grow and continue to learn new things, but we just want to cherish every second of you.

Happy SEVEN Months, Bug!
