It seems like nothing, and everything has changed in the last month. Adele is still our calm, happy baby. But now she is sitting up and eating. We are done with bouncers, play mats, and other infant stuff, and on to high chairs sippy cups, spoons and snacks. She was starting to sit up last month, but really, as soon as I started giving her more chances to practice, she got pretty stable. When she is on her stomach, she rolls, pivots, and almost crawls around, but when she's sitting up, she's happy and content to play with a toy or watch the commotion around her.
She seems to be a pretty good eater so far. It seemed for a while she didn't like apple sauce, which was a shocker to me, but she seems to have warmed up to it. Sweet potatoes were a win, and today she enjoyed her first tastes of yogurt. Veggies are a hit or a miss. Poor thing, and poor guilty mama, she has only had homemade baby food once. I thought this would be something that I continued with all my children, but alas, number three has pushed me over the edge of too many things to do, so most of Adele's food comes from little pouches. She's already pretty interested in table food, and will gnaw on and eat carrots, cucumbers, apples, bananas, bread, and she really chomped down some whole peaches the other day. So I don't think she will need the purees for long.
This month she has also seemed a little more sensitive about our presence. She may fuss a little when she's left alone. But her bottom teeth are coming in (almost but not yet) and she's had a little cold, so perhaps her fussiness is just that.
Adele has been sleeping in the crib a little more this month, since sweet Kate is finally starting to get the hang of room sharing. And with a couple nights in the crib, came a couple sleeps through the night! It was glorious, except the fact that someone else woke up on the nights she slept through. But there is a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel.
And smiles! Oh, she's all smiles. And she loves to laugh! Here's some sweet smiles for mama.
And here's how she grows!

She's such a smiley sweetheart! She's really looking like Emeline too. Not long and she'll be chasing her big sisters around, can't believe she is 7 mths already!
