Marley at 7 Months

Seven months my baby has been making all kinds of milestones. For one month, we have gotten to witness them. While I will never know what she accomplished in the first six months without us, I do know that the last four weeks with us, she is making great strides! When coming into our arms at just six months old she:
  • held her head up
  • reached for objects
  • smiled, cooed and laughed
  • occasionally rolled over
  • could pull up chest off of floor
  • said dada
  • woke 2-3 times a night
  • weighed 13.2 lbs.
  • has a mouth full of gum
  • could not bear any weight on her legs
At seven months old, she can:
  • pulls up her chest off the floor and holds it
  • screams and has the most hilarious laugh!
  • rolls over and over
  • scoots backwards
  • imitates (scrunches her nose and smacks her lips)
  • blows raspberries
  • sleeps all night
  • using those leg muscles!
  • loves the johnny jumper!
  • started eating food, she prefers ours...lol (pureed of course!)
  • weights 14ish lbs.
  • still no teeth
And because you are here for the pictures and not me...lol.

I love it! Marley is so cute...and your son's curls - holy cow! They are gorgeous! The tigger on the front of that jump-up is pretty funny...something about it just doesn't look right but it makes me giggle!! Mari couldn't bear weight on her feet when we came home...amazing what a few days in a jumper can do for them. Merry Christmas!

How did you get her to sleep through the night?! Oh my God! Email me! I'm so jealous!

We need to set up a play date for our girls. I think they are both at the same milestones.

She is so cute!

Could you email me at benjaminljohnson@yahoo.com

I had some questions concerning what you guys are doing for citizenship. We have gotten a lot of conflicting information and just want to see what someone else has heard.

Thanks,
