7 months old today!

Rachel at 7 months:

-She has more and more hair every day. Looks as if it will come in a lovely light brown rather than red (sorry Mom & Dad...)

-She's sitting up on her own and can stay absorbed in her toys on the playmat for what seems like hours (really more like 30 minutes before she gets antsy and wants to be held)

-Likes pureed pears, squash and sweet potatoes. And, occasionally, rice cereal.

-Likes being cuddled, but only briefly. Then she gets squirmy and wants to explore.

-Grabs for the bottle and holds onto it, but then keeps missing her mouth when she tries to take a drink. You can almost hear her saying "Mommy, I want to do it MYSELF!"

-Doesn't mind having shirts and dresses pulled on and off. Maybe her skin is growing less sensitive as she ages?

-Smiles a lot, especially when mommy and daddy are in the room!
