7 months!

Dear Brynn you are 7 months old today! Your personality continues to blossom and you are just overall a joy to be around. This was a big month as you said your first word "dada" and are up to 4 teeth. You handle teething really well and usually just a bit fussier than normal. We actually didn't know your first top tooth popped through until we heard you grind you teeth together, luckily that is not a habit you continued. You do like to put your bottom and top teeth together and blow air through them which is really cute.

You are 17.5 lbs (64th percentile) and 27.75 inches (93rd percentile). Long and lean. It's common for nursing babies to lean out after 6 months and your doctor predicts you'll be in the 50% or a little below at your 9 month check up so we'll see if she's right!
Knock on wood but you have yet to get sick! We think we can credit you staying at home with your nanny to that!
You are really doing well with the baby led weaning. You love to eat and if you see us eating you look at us like "where's mine?". In addition to the precious list of foods you've added oatmeal (just regular Quaker) and applesauce. We're going to do some more sweet potatoes and maybe some squash this week.

You love to stand and can actually stand unassisted while holding on to your play table (with us right behind you of course). Except for the few times you don't care to roll over. You like to lunge for things which your pediatrician said is a good precursor to crawling.
You love love love Magnus our dog. You watch him and grab him whenever he gets to close. When we ask "Where's Magnus?" you look around the room to find him. He also likes you and continues to try to get an elusive lick of your face..you must taste good :) We're lucky that he is so gentle around you.
It's been so cold recently we've pretty much just stayed inside but mom looks forward to some long stroller walks this spring. You rode sitting up in the cart for the first time at Trader Joe's. You loved looking around from your new perch!
