Mylee 7-Months Old

Mylee is now 7-months old.  She's 27" tall and weighs in at 16.5 lbs.  She's growing so fast!  As you can see in this picture with her Mr. Pooh bear that she's just full of smiles and giggles.  I wanted to post a little video clip that I know I took of her just laughing and laughing away but I can't seem to locate it for some reason so I will have to take some more for next time.  She is also really holding onto things and grabbing and pulling.  She's awake a lot more and wants to play all the time.  She's sitting only with some support.  Don't know why she's being so lazy but in due time.  She's a super eater and now seems to eat everything we give her in baby foods.  Loves her squash, sweet potato, green beans and bananas the best.  She didn't care for apple sauce in the beginning but now seem to be okay with it.  We just kept trying.   
Here she is next to Pooh Bear again so you can really see how big she's really getting with something to compare to each month.

Super close up!  It's real hard to get a picture of her new little teethers.  Look close and her bottom two teeth.  The left one started coming in first and then the 2nd on the right started in shortly after at around 2 weeks apart.  She was slightly fussy when the first tooth started poking in but not too bad.  No fevers, just uncomfortable at times.

Now that her neck and back are getting stronger and stronger we've been putting her in this Exersaucer to play.  It's got all kinds of activities all in one for her.  She seems to really have fun in it but her feet barely touch so we don't like her to be in it too long since I'm not sure if her feet start to fall asleep.  This was another great handy me down from Big Sis Makayla
