Katelyn is 7 months old now! She is so amazing. She has grown so much! Not just size, but maturity. She is such a happy baby! She did SO WELL in Hawaii! She was happy to let Nonna and Grandpa play with her and hold her and she was just so fun and easy going. She's really hitting her stride!
She loves to sit up and manipulate things with her hands. She has amazing fine motor skills! If you give her a new object she will look at it and twist it and turn it in all different directions! She can sit up for long periods of time with no balance issues - she learned this quickly. One day I sat her up and she was thrilled to look at the world from this view - and to have her hands free to play with things - she sort of skipped - or fast forwarded - through the tripod balance and just started playing with things.
We're waiting for some development in the gross motor area - she rarely rolls over (I don't know yhet if she can do it when she wants to - I think it is still pretty much an accident) and she can't get herself into a sitting position. When she is on her tummy, she can push up on her hands and feet - like plank or downface dog, but she isn't crawling. However, she is scooting backwards - but I htink she finds that frustrating as it isn't the direction that she's trying to move in!
Katelyn has an odd little (bump? blister? skin tag?) on the inside of her mouth - on her lower lip. It's been around for a few weeks - we noticed it right after her last doctor visit (of course). It doesn't seem to bother her, but we'll ask about it at her next visit if it is still there in October (or if there seems to be any issues with it!)
No teeth yet - she has some definite bumps - I could feel them when we first left for Hawaii and we thought for sure at least the bottom right one would pop up on the trip - but it still hasn't yet! That's ok with me because she it a biter!
She is eating more during the day, but she still gets a few good meals at night - so I definitely need to work on that in the fall! I am also going to try to get her using a sippy cup so that she's drinking from another source when I go back to work!
I love my Katelyn so much! I love how many compliments we get on what a good baby she is!
