Lucky Seven

Yesterday Evangeline turned seven months old. She is making so much progress.

This past month we started solid foods. She does not like baby food, but prefers to nibble on what Greg and I are eating instead. She really likes to pick up her own food.  She has tried a variety of foods, but her favorites appear to be meat and potatoes. She also likes beets and bread.

She's 27.5 inches tall (which I can finally say now that she's standing), and weighs 17 lbs and 10 ounces. Evangeline can move across the room in seconds, and baby proofing/constant attention is a must when you put her down. She can pull herself up and walk along a wall while supporting herself with one hand. She also enjoys walking around the oval table in the living room.

She's still got brown hair (with a few blonde highlights) and blue eyes. We are excited the blue eyes might stay. She is starting to wave and even says da, da, da, ga, ya, and wa.

This month also marked Evan's first trip to Texas (see earlier blogs). She loved seeing her family there and will miss seeing them dearly.

Evangeline is happy most of the time, but recently she started getting her two bottom front teeth. After a few extra hours of sleep she is right as rain. We love our little girl and we are so proud of her accomplishments so far. Now all we have to do is keep up with her.
