Letters to Joleigh - 7 Months






 
Have I told you lately that I love you?!  Who am I kidding - if you could talk, you'd probably say that that I tell you too much.  And that's just fine with me!  I just can't believe it, but you're already 7 months old.
 
 
You are sitting up like a champ, have started kind of crawling... but you're only going backwards at this point.  It's so freaking cute though.  You always back yourself up under your crib, the bed, a table... and then SCREAM at me to come get you out.  Too cute!  You moved up to size 3 diapers on 1/30 and starting taking 6 oz bottles every 4 hours on 1/12.
 
One of the scariest moments I've had with you to date came on 1/23.  I brought you to our room to change your diaper and laid you on our bed, like I have done countless times before.  I turned to get a diaper and some wipes out of my dresser drawer, and I heard a thud and your little pacifier rolled in front of my feet.  I quickly looked over and you were laying on the floor on your back.  Poor baby girl, the fall had knocked the breath out of you.  I. Freaked. Out.  I was just screaming and your Dad thought someone had broken into our house I was so ecstatic.  Once I started crying, you started laughing and I knew you were going to be ok.  Apparently Mama has a funny cry-face.
 
Your Daddy and I are having the best time watching you grow and we love celebrating all your "firsts" with you.  We're just so very proud of you!!
