7 months young

Kadence Joy: 7 months

What a change it has been going from one to two! Kady's highlights:

• You roll all over to get to something you want on the floor, I even thought I saw you trying to scoot this morning

• You are very vocal. You blow, squeal when you are happy, say momma, and lots of other little sounds

• You love to eat. You will eat everything and anything we serve (very different from Lucy)

• You weighed 16 pounds 10 ounces at your checkup--50-50%tile for weight and height

• You can sit unsupported, but I still put you up with pillows around, you have a tendency to throw yourself backward when you get excited, or even more so when Lucy takes a toy that you want. Such a personality

• you are working on getting in your two bottom teeth, but don't seem too bothered by it

• You no longer take zantac....quite by accident that you stopped taking it, but didn't seem to be in pain so we didn't see any reason to start giving it to you again (that makes me think it was more colic than reflux for your first few months)

• 
  You play peek-a-boo with anything you are able to take up over your face. You love that you are able to communicate in this way!
  You are so happy. It is so easy to get a smile from you or make you laugh.

• You pat me when I pick you up out of your crib, our little hug....I LOVE it!

• You are an excellent sleeper--12 hours a night and two naps during the day! More like your mommy than your daddy

I thank God every day that you have changed our lives in this way. You have made my heart bigger and given me more reasons to love.
