the poulsen parade: Seven Months

Our little love bug is 7 months old! This month has definitely been the best month so far! She is just getting to be more more fun and interactive all the time. I love hearing her babble and trying to talk. And she is getting to be so busy, she wants to touch, look/be a part of everything these days and it still surprises me sometimes how she manages to get into things that I thought were out of her reach! Especially since she's still pretty much immobile.

This baby does not crawl or scoot or roll or do any sort of movement other than twisting and reaching. But she wants to be able to move and get to stuff, so it can be pretty frustrating at times. Hopefully, she figures out some sort of movement soon! Okay and here are her 7 months stats:

Height: 25 1/2 inches, 26% Weight: 15lbs 2 oz, 19% Head Circumference: 17 inches, 59%

At 7 Months Ella:
-Has her first teeth! Her two middle-bottom teeth came in a couple weeks ago.
-She sits! She still falls over sometimes, but she's pretty much there.
-Also, she loves to eat paper. Napkins, paper towels, envelopes, flyers, magazine pages, she seriously eats it. She hardly eats food or her milk, but paper she loves?? what is up with this baby?!
-Now babbles Blah blah blah bah and maa mah ma ma and sometimes da da da dah
-Is still a pretty fussy baby, and needs lots and lots of personal attention
-Still gets some breast milk, but I'm weaning her off of it and onto formula because I am just so done with pumping.
-Claps! its so cute, she loves to clap her hands!
-Spent her first FULL day away from Mommy, because I (mommy) finally worked for the first time since giving birth. I subbed at a near by dental office for the day, and it went well. I'll probably do it more in the future.
