Elise- Seven months old!

I can't believe Elise is already seven months old! Time is flying by....so sad! Our little lady has been crawling for about a month now. She wants to keep up with her brothers! She loves to chat with Ethan (who speaks baby talk with her all the time), and she giggles with Drew Drew. At her six month appointment she weighed 17 pounds 3 ounces (75th percentile) and was 95th percentile in height. When people see her they always comment how petite she looks, which is so funny to me because she is a BIG girl. I think her features are more petite (she def looks more girly), so that's why they say that. She still despises baby food though, so we are struggling with that a little (she wants to nurse/feed round the clock since she won't eat baby food). She doesn't even like fruit....what's wrong with her?!? Bananas, pears, applesauce, sweet potatoes, all instantly are spit out after I give them to her. This happens with any kind of medicine as well. Once you get one scoop in, she spits it out, then clamps her mouth shut so nothing else can be put in (see below).

She LOVES cheerios I discovered (see video), but they seem to give her a big tummy ache afterwards.

She LOVES to play with her brother's toys. You can put all the baby toys in front of her, and she'll play with them for a couple minutes at most. Then she'll see a dinosaur or their book across the room, and bolt for it. The brothers are being very good about sharing their toys! Here she has discovered Drew Drew's favorite book: Bugs!

Nothing like biting a dinosaur's head! It's great for teething (she has her two bottom teeth and is working on her top two now!).


Overall she is an absolutely wonderful little girl. We feel soooooo blessed. She is growing up WAY to fast!!!!
