Elliot Sabine: 7 Months Old

Elliot at 7 Months:

Q: Will this girl ever get teeth? A: Stay tuned next month...

*Sleeping like a champ again (*knock on wood)

Still experimenting with solid food; still not a huge fan, but getting closer...

Standing like a boss. 

Babbling sounds developing this adorable inflection + squealing is the new black.

Likes: snuggling & kissing all the time (I hope this phase never ends!!), shrieking at Miette (who now wants nothing to do with her), practicing standing & testing her balance, looking out the window, pulling down curtains, carrots (who knew?!), mirrors, afternoons on blankets in the sun, sipping water from a sippy cup (or just gnawing on it), napping on schedule (yay!), watching big kids with awe & amazement, typing important documents and correspondences, encouraging all of her friends to check out her Mom's new adult art classes at the DAC!, shameless plugs for Mom's new job, the tune of the ABCs & Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (it's the same tune, you guys) and as always, any variation on the classic game of peekaboo.

Dislikes: GRASS, seriously, sitting in a field of luscious grass on a warm day is this girl's achilles heel apparently (again, who knew?!), when iphones or eyeglasses get taken away from her, being forced to eat that which is not a boob when the easterly winds are flowing toward the south (what I mean to say is, sometimes she's on board & other times just... nope.), the sound of the blender & other unexpected noises and watching that cat just laying there peacefully sleeping...
