7 Months

Mia turned seven months old last week. As you can see, she is happy as can be.

Mia really has grown up this past month. She has mastered sitting up on her own and likes playing with toys. She will reach for items that she wants. She is content with sitting up and isn't a big fan of laying on the floor. Therefore, she doesn't roll around that much. She will roll over once or twice, but that is about it. I can leave the room for a moment and usually find her in the same spot when I come back in.

Mia loves blowing raspberries and loves getting kisses even more. All you have to do is give her cheeks lots of kisses and she gets a big grin on her face.

Mia loves to eat! We have learned that once we start feeding her, not to stop, even for a moment, or else she will have a fit. It is funny because she is usually so calm and easy going.

She is really starting to show interest in Ozzie now. She tries to reach for him as he walks by and she likes to pet him.

Mia had her "six month" appointment two weeks ago. She weighed in at 17 lbs and 12 oz and was 25.5 inches long, although I think she may be longer as she wasn't stretching out all the way. She did good with her shots and only cried for a moment. Two days later though, she came down with a fever, so we had to bring her back to the doctor. I think with the threat of swine flu, they weren't taking any chances and had us bring her in. Luckily the next day she was good as new and has been feeling fine since then.

We are looking forward to seeing what the next month brings...maybe a tooth or some more rolling. One thing is for sure, it will bring us lots of smiles.
