You are 7 months (and 3 days) old!

Dear Ellie,

You are 7 months old (and 2 days) now! And you are in such a fun FUN stage! I just love you.

7 months old!
I guess-timate that you are about 15 pounds now. Wearing size 2 diapers during the day and size 3 diapers at night (until we run out of the 2s). You fit perfectly in your 6 month clothes and are still wearing your 3-6 month jammies, but we'll have to put those away soon.

You are rolling everywhere. It's like the cutest thing ever. Your favorite places to roll are to the guitar, to the la-z-boy recliner where you kick it over and over again, and to slap the tile by the fireplace. Mommy let you roll around during Sunday School at church on Sunday and you discovered the scratchy walls in the church. You also love to sing and practice using your voice. It's cute until mommy has to leave Sunday School or sacrament meeting.

Love my baby girl!
You are such a happy little girl and so fun! You will smile at almost anyone if you are in a good mood. I think your top 2 teeth are getting ready to break through. You have been wanting to nurse more before sleeping and I can see your teeth moving down in your gums. Hopefully they will cut through fast and painless like your bottom teeth did!

Happy girl!
Your sleeping schedule is pretty great right now. Just in time to get all messed up with our trip to Utah next week! As of Sunday, you are going to bed around 8-9pm, sleeping through the night, and waking up at about 9am. It is really great! Mommy is loving all her sleep!

Can't wait for cooler weather so we can take more walks!
You are a little eater! You will eat just about anything. You will eat any purees and little food chunks. You even like bananas now. It seems like you prefer veggies and meat over fruits and sweets, but it might be a little too early to tell. Here's to hoping you won't be a picky eater!

We love Menchies!

Bread lover - just like momma!
You also love your cousins! Oh how we wish we could spend more time with all of your cousins and your cool aunts and uncles. We love living close to family!
You love your cousins and they love you!
Ellie and Kenzie - 7 weeks apart
Last night as we were getting ready to say family prayers, Mommy jokingly asked, "Ellie, will you pray?" You replied in your cutest baby voice almost immediately, "Yaaa! Bleeeeeeehhhhh..." 

It. was. hilarious. Your daddy and I had a good laugh after that. And then Daddy ended up praying for reals. But good try, Ellie!

Reading scriptures before bed!
You bring so much joy to our little family, Ellie. We love you! Keep growing my sweet baby girl!

Love,
Mommy
