Caroline at 7 months.

I am behind. WAY behind. The holidays have hit and I have barely turned on our desktop. It seems like we packed a lot into the last little bit of 2012. Hoping to catch up over the next week or so.

Caroline turned 7 months old on November 5, 2012. At seven months old you weigh around 20 pounds, wear a size three diaper, and 12 month clothing. Don't get me wrong you also wear 12-18 month and sometimes 24 month clothing. The pants are always too long, but your thighs manage to fill out the legs. You have the smallest little feet. All of the shoes we have for you are way too big, and you are still in a size 3 shoe.

You have ventured into more table food, and can handle "chunkier" consistencies when we make your food. You LOVE ham, macaroni and cheese, and orzo. You will eat whatever we put in your mouth, but haven't really mastered putting things in there yourself. You still refuse a sippy cup, and look at us like we have lost our minds when we try to get you to drink from one.

You making razzing sounds all the time, and babble constantly. Your tongue stays out of your mouth most of the time which means there is a lot of drool. You laugh most when tickled, dancing with mommy, or when being tossed in the air. You can sit without support, and rarely fall over. You continue to roll everywhere you want to go.

We enjoyed a quick trip to Birmingham to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with Gigi and Papaw and to visit with cousin Ashley, uncle Kyle, and aunt Laura.

You have started to fight sleep while in the car seat. You don't scream or cry you just don't sleep.

We took advantage of cool fall weather in Tallahassee and introduced you to the swing at our local park. You absolutley loved to swing, and Olivia loved to push you.

You helped mommy with Christmas shopping, and liked sitting in the cart like a big girl.

Trying multi-grain bread and mac and cheese for the first time. Both were a hit! 

You are still a fantastic sleeper and take 2-3 naps a day. Sometimes depending on what time we get home you may or may not take the evening power nap. When you don't you are usually in bed by 6:30 p.m. When you do take a power nap you manage to stay up to a big whopping 8:00 p.m. 

Seven months have gone too fast. I need you to slow down just a bit.
