Dear Eleanor,
Just when I think “this age is my favorite”, you get a
little older and a little bigger—and I get a little more crazy about you. Here
you are at 7 months!
·
Absolutely EVERYTHING is going in your mouth
these days. Well, everything EXCEPT food. You’re not too impressed with solid
food, but I’m sure you will enjoy it later! Your daddy and I keep thinking you’re
trying to “grow teefers”, but none have made their appearance as of yet. You,
umm…”gargle” on your saliva because there’s so much of it--sounds like you’re
rolling your tongue.
·
You’re sleeping much better these days, for
which we are all thankful! You are waking up early, but I blame that on all
those 4:30am work mornings when you were in my belly!
·
Not only do you get nervous if I leave the room,
but you aren’t impressed when I get too far away in the same room! You’re very
curious about everything and spend several minutes looking at something you
find intriguing.
·
You’re sitting up like a champ these days, and
you’ve learned to scoot yourself…backwards and sideways. More than once in the
last week, you get up on your hands and knees. Crawling is coming soon, and we
are SO NOT READY! J
·
Nora Mae, you have acquired a new “verbal noise”.
It resembles something along the lines of “what a screeching South American
bird would sound like”. (You can thank your daddy for that description!)
·
You also started spouting off “Da-da-da-da-da”
in the last week, which has your daddy SO THRILLED. Actually, “so thrilled” is
probably the understatement of the year J
You’re “talking” a lot more—loudly if you think we aren’t paying attention!
·
You experienced your 1st hockey game a
couple weeks ago and slept through part of it. And you’re still very much
afraid of automatic hand dryers.
·
Eleanor, you giggle and giggle when I tickle
your squishy legs. It’s one of my favorite things about right now.
·
I’m sure you have a favorite book! You
excitedly wave your arms up and down when “The very hungry caterpillar” comes
out. We still read lots of different books, but you’ve convinced me that this
one is your favorite!
Love always,
Mommy
