Chandler Renee - 7 months

Once again, a little late on this monthly update. We are just crazy busy and our little girl is busy growing up! This month she was extremely busy moving around. She started a real crawl... and then she began crawling FASTER and pulling up on EVERYTHING. She's giving us lots of exercise chasing her around. Of course, she wants to get into everything she's not supposed to... our shoes, electrical chords, electrical outlets... you get it. We cleared up her "tummy troubles" at the beginning of the month, thankfully. She's stayed healthy the rest of the month. When she started pulling up she started falling down a lot.. but it only took a few days for her to figure out how to get down. Now she's a pro.

She began eating real food this month. We decided to not do pureed foods and start with something called "Baby Led Weaning." Basically, she feeds herself from the beginning. She's done a great job with it. She's tried and loved everything we've given her. Bananas, avocados, green beans, carrots, cucumbers, pears, apples. She may have turned it down on the first try, but after day 2 and 3 she enjoys it! We're proud of our non-picky eater and hope she stays that way.

This month we did a little traveling to Ghana to visit with friends. We had a great time on the coast there. We also helped throw a baby shower for our friend expecting a little girl in December. It was good to take a little break from language and speak English.
