The variety of a seven month old

Slobbery peach anyone? I'm willing to share. What? No takers? Advertising her favorite flashcards.
To eat or not to eat? That is the question.
I'd rather read than almost anything!

What the heck is this mom?
Relatives! Gotta love 'em!
Excuse me! Could I have some privacy please?
Fascinating!
This month she learned to make the elephant, dog, horse, and duck sounds. She LOVES looking at herself in any reflection of any kind. She copies when someone coughs, and laughs when I blow my nose or sneeze. She also smiles big when she sees other kids cry. I hope it's because she's trying to cheer them up...

Teeth and more

Alice got her first two teeth this month. The top and bottom of the middle left side..I'm sure you all wanted to know those details. ha! Here you can see the first one that popped out on the bottom:
She'll greet people with a "hi"


What's wrong with this picture (hint: it's the hair) The little dough girl all rolled in flour! (well, powder, to ward off the sweat)

hello

Besides "little bug", I call Alice "petunia", so daddy now calls her "fatunia" hmmm...

Outside

This is my happy little bug at the park! Go cowgirl!
Yipee kay yay!

7 months old and weighs 31 1/2 pounds

7 months - On the Ranch

We took Alice to a petting zoo/ranch with some other families. It was a lot of fun!

I didn't get a good picture of it, but Alice loved this little monkey! When the other kids were mostly afraid of it, she was always reaching for it and trying to grab it.

The chickens! The noise! The SMELL! She got a leetle worried about being this close.This was a much safer distance. Now this guy's cool!

books & friends

She's started liking books very much(and eating them).
These are her friends: Eric and Carolina. They are very sweet and patient with Alice, even when she hits and pulls their hair.

Alice loves to play peek-a-boo by holding a sheet or cloth over her eyes, and then taking it off. She's playful and makes very cute gurgles, fake coughs, blows rasperries, says dada and other sounds. She likes to play and suck on toys, and can stay entertained for awhile that way. She's also starting to really get around in the walker and can go forward instead of just backwards. She's started to drink a lot of water in the hot weather, so we got her a baby cup. When we go out even if it's just shopping, we always have to stop a bunch of times so that people can goo goo over her. It's very flattering! I'm sure every mom thinks their baby is the cutest, and I'm no exception.
At 6 and a half months old, she weighed 28 and a half pounds.

She is so so smiley and cheerful in the mornings..it's better for me(Maria) than coffee!
She is ready for her Father's Day picture with daddy.
Here she is so proud of herself; I think it's because she picked up such a small block, ha!

So beautiful!

This is my favorite picture...so far.

My pooch

As you can see, she has very strong legs and can stand supported now.

6 months old

Alice's first relative visit. A. Priya and U. Arthur came to stay for a little while. For sometimes having a hard time with strangers, Alice liked them.. One week before turning 6 months, Alice weighed 26 and a half pounds.

She has discovered changing things from one hand to the other. When she's lying down she lifts her legs and grabs her feet. She stopped being interested in pacifiers. She likes to use her voice: talk, yell. Started eating some cooked veggies. She really likes the pool. When in the little pool(the one above is the bigger one) she pretty much just furiously splashes the water and then quickly brings her hand to her mouth so she can drink some of the water. She can sit up pretty well now. For a while she could only roll her top half over, the bottom half was too heavy, but by the end of this month she could roll over and over... She got a walker and johnny jump up this month. She gets around by scooting while on her back. Started taking her out more this month to meet and get to know people. The day she turned 5 months she weighed 24 pounds.
