Izzy's seventh month was very busy and this is the first weekend we've been able to relax and hang out as a little family. Izzy has been becoming more vocal about her needs and wants. Typically those involve needing food, a bottle, a new diaper or Mommy or Daddy time. She's becoming more social however has become more leery of strangers. She warms up over time though and will eventually be all smiles with a new person. She becoming interested in how people talk by intently watching their mouths move. Izzy has expanded her "vocabulary" with dadada's and bababa's and nananana's added to her mamamama's.
At her last doctor's visit, the doc gave her the go-ahead to experiment with finger foods. Izzy has loved this. Her favorites are Nilla wafers and biter biscuits. She'll take zwiebacks at daycare but not at home where she knows we must have a Nilla somewhere. She's been working hard at eating Cheerios but has been having trouble getting the little buggers in her mouth. They like to stick to the palm of her hand and she "loses" them. Today I gave her cut up banana and she did much better with that. She hasn't figured out the sippy cup but straws seem to work so that's fine by us. She's been drinking some juice from a juicebox which is oh so exciting for us because it is SO convenient if we're out somewhere. She'll usually only drink about 1-1.5 oz, so well under her 4 oz limit.
At daycare Izzy has been on the go, creeping backwards and rolling all over (and under) the place. Here she'll make her way across the living room to get a toy or to gnaw on the coffee table. Izzy finally fits a bit better in her jumpster and has been bouncy-bouncing away often with us singing the jumpy-jump tune from Yo Gabba Gabba! She has a cutest inhale laugh when she's in that thing. In general she's a very happy kid. Even when she's sick or tired, she tries to summon a smile for us. She does have a temper, especially if dinner isn't quite what she wanted or if she's over tired but so far she's distractable :)
