(I’ll be taking photos of Mirei sitting in my white desk chair and wearing her monthly onesie every month until she’s one year old.)

The Rundown at Seven Months…
Stats: At your last doctor’s visit almost a month ago, you weighed 21 lbs 6oz, so we’re guessing that by now you are over 22 lbs! It’s hard to hold you for too long because you are so heavy, and our wrists and arms have started to hurt because of how heavy you are.
Things You’re Doing Now: You’re a pro at crawling now! You’ve gotten really fast at making your way from one end of the hall to another, moving from room to room at an alarming speed! You’ve also started pulling yourself up to a standing position with chairs, couches, shelves, anything you can get your hands on! We’ve even witnessed you attempt to cruise a little as you try to maintain your standing position as you shift your feet along. Your bottom two teeth have now fully emerged, and you have been eating your solids every day for about a month now! So far, you’ve tried baby oatmeal, butternut squash, avocado, zucchini, carrots, pears, and bananas! (Your favorite so far has interestingly been zucchini.) Your naps tend to be for shorter periods of time now (half an hour to an hour), so you’re awake for much of the day and have been keeping us busy! You love watching and chasing after your big sister, and often reach for and grab her toys, much to Mio’s chagrin. You’re constantly grabbing things you find and sticking them in your mouth, so we have to keep a close watch for any choking hazards you may get a hold of! You’re full of expression, raising your voice very loudly to express both frustration and joy, and it’s a wonder to watch you grow. We have a feeling you’ll be quite the outgoing little girl, with how much you love flashing your smile at everyone you meet and how vocal you already are!
