7 Months Old!

Natalie is seven months old!  She continues to become more engaged with and interested in the world around her.  She has been eating solids for a month now, and loves them!  She is particularly fond of sweet potatoes and pears (surprise, surprise) but also likes green beans and peas.  When Natalie's really enjoying her meal, she bounces in her seat and flaps both arms up and down while she's eating and then immediately opens her mouth WIDE for the next bite.  It's really cute!

Bathtime continues to be Natalie's favorite part of the day.  Todd is usually the one filling up the tub, and Natalie sits on his lap and bounces and kicks her legs in excitement, trying to get in the tub.  Once in, she chews on some bath toys and grins at her big brother's antics.

This month Natalie has become very reliable at sitting all by herself.  She still occasionally forgets and falls over, so we have to keep an eye on her, but for the most part she stays upright.  She has also discovered that she can roll to get to her toys--this girl is ready to MOVE, mostly to get to her brother's toys!  Natalie's favorite toys are also Nathan's: matchbox cars!

On Easter, Natalie started waving!  She is so cute about it, and pretty convinced that she's the smartest baby ever.  We even captured her on video:
