7 Months Old

Miss Maya is 7 months old. Meaning she's closer to her one year birthday than her birth day. EEk.

Our little critter is so active and just bursting with personality.

She says 'mama' and 'dada' (it's just meaningless babble at this age to her, but music to our ears for sure)

She eats "finger foods" - Cheerios, crackers, bits of banana and bread...

She's doing really well with her sippy cup

Maya LOVES to ride in the seat of the shopping cart when we go out

She rolls all over the place and is THIS CLOSE to crawling

When she sits, one foot is ALWAYS on top of the other. It looks kind of funny- you can see an example in one of the pics.

She sleeps on her stomach now- I lay her down on her back and she immediately rolls over.

She can pull up to a standing position on her own! This was quite a shock when we put her in her crib, looked away for a minute, and then saw her standing holding onto the crib. So we lowered the crib to prevent any disasters.

Her favorite toys include the TV remote, keys (ewww), anything plastic and crinkly, the keyboard, and things that open and close.

She also loves to empty out the diaper bag- she takes each item out and inspects it, puts it in her mouth, then throws it out of her way and goes in for the next item.

Maya smiles and laughs ALL. THE. TIME!

She loves peek-a-boo, funny faces, pat-a-cake (done with her feet) and pretty much any silly song sung with a high voice and ridiculous expression.

Maya's definitely at the most fun age so far and she does a wonderful job entertaining us!
