Month 7

Seven months lessons, I know hard to believe huh? She is really thinning out, her face seems like it is getting longer, I mean she still has that sweet baby face but she is just growing up so fast! Gracee does this rocking thing now, sorta like Stevie Wonder she even sings... what a sweet baby girl!

1. Gracee has definite likes and dislikes, tastes and preferences -- in food, toys, and people. She imitates sounds and gestures. Her favorite foods are squash and carrots... she likes garden veggies and bananas too! Gracee loves her daddy and her bubba... she has a thing for the males in our family. Gracee loves her noisy toys and 'jump-e-jump'.

2. Gracee has a great sense of balance she is sitting up well and playing with everything. She loves to watch her brother run around and do the "bucking bull". Gracee likes to throw her toys so they are out of her reach and then tries to stretch to get them.

3. Gracee is so eager to learn. She is such a happy baby, she giggles all the time. Her favorite game is peek-a-boo - she really likes paddy cake too!

4. Gracee is eating alot more food - basically breakfast is oatmeal and bananas then a drink of juice or milk lunch is veggies and some juice or water then nap time and a full diaper of POO then around 5 more food (one thing of 2 Gerber) She likes green beans, peas, and garden veggies... more to drink and right before bed about half a thing of squash and 6oz cereal bottle. Good night at 8:30pm up again at 6:30a then the day starts over. :)

5. Gracee has hair. Her hair is coming in so fast it seems like everyday she has more hair!

6. Gracee is getting more teeth! She has been running a fever the past week and really cranky. Poor thing wants to chew on everything. She dives for your face and neck and rubs her face on yours. She is sweet!

7. Gracee says DADA! She said Dada for the first time on 11-1-07 and she said DOG 11-3-07, next comes NO I'm sure! :) 11-18-07 she sang DADA in church while everyone was singing!

8. Gracee likes to swing her left arm when I rock her sleep and she is drinking her bottle. She doesn't hold her bottle yet she puts her right arm right by my mouth like she wants me to sing forever.

9. Gracee is a wigglier... she fell of our bed 11-11-07 we left her in there after a quick diaper change I went to wash my hands then BAMM --- she will never be left alone on the bed again!

10. Gracee wants to crawl BAD!!! She keeps her head down and sticks her butt in the air and just the other day got on all fours for almost 4 seconds... she giggles and falls back down on her belly. It wont be long!!!

11. Gracee blows rasberries all the time. She likes to bite on her tongue and blow bubbles when she isn't talking or singing. She is such a sweetheart.

We just went to the health department and miss Gracee is growing like a weed! She weighs 19lbs 2oz and is 27 inches long!!! There are many more exciting things that go on on an everyday basis... these are just the big ones. We love to share our new experiences and hope you enjoy reading them.
