7 Months Old!!!

My babagirl is a full 7 months old today!

She:

• LOVES getting dirty!!!
• Micro-manages our entire apartment's floor, as well as any other floor / surface she gets into contact with.
• Still enjoys books but now more for the 'chewing-benefit'.
• Crawls off a single step as well as the stoep
• Crawls ONTO the back veranda!!!
• Moves from sitting to four-point kneeling.
• LOVES water and enjoys splashing in the bath...as well as getting everything else wet!
• Is very ticklish on the left side of her neck.
• Enjoys ALL foods, except broccoli (I'm VERY sad over this).
• Babbles away like it's nobody's business :-)
• Started saying what sounds like "hello"
• Talk more than she did when she was only 2 months old - and then I thought she was talking a lot.
• Steals all the attention wherever we go.
• Especially enjoys tags, on anything.
• Follows me wherever I go in the house.
• Can teach the army a thing or two about leopard crawling.
• Enjoys snuggles with Mommy and Daddy.
• Can hold her own bottle :-)
• Has started to develop object permanence, so she knows when I'm out of the room that I haven't completely left her.
• Enjoys lookint at herself in the mirror and chats to us when we're all looking in the mirror.

I enjoy my daughter so much, every.single.day!  Being a mother is the most fulfilling job I've ever had.  I cannot imagine my life without my daughter. Thank YOU, LORD, for this gorgeous, fun-loving child of ours!
