Seven months of glory

The photos are piling up and I will be doing a photo dump from my phone very soon! 

Here's what's happening in the life of our 7 month old girl!...
Sky still only has 2 teeth but she is definitely teething! Her hair is getting so long--we have to put a barrette in so her hair doesn't go in her eyes.  Bangs??!!! We don't know! Skylar's favorite food is for sure avocado but she has tried lots of foods including sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, tomatoes, beans, tofu, blueberries, apples, mango, oranges, bananas, peaches, quinoa cereal, plain yogurt, and teething biscuits! She is getting more into this eating thing.  Her dad has also snuck her tastes of foods I'd rather not mention (aka chocolate frosting from Rob Hogan!).  She still LOVES water and will splash like crazy in the tub.  She might just be a swimmer some day!  Skylar loves to stand--Lucas calls it "standing practice." She will stand and hold on to her crib or her playland forever!  She is still army crawling and will do a few real crawls each day.  She tries to pull herself up to a stand on anything she can but she can't quite do it yet.  Skylar loves to listen to books, cruise around her playland, grab her little Sesame Street characters Mimi brought her, play with bubbles, and "walk" while you hold on to her hands.  She doesn't love her jumperoo but likes to play with it from the outside and get the music to come on.  Skylar loves her time with Nana while I'm at work.  They have so much fun together, especially in Nana's awesome backyard!  She is still not sleeping very well--we are working on it!  Skylar just made it through an entire workout class at Child Watch at the YMCA--we are hoping she turned a corner! She will also kiss the mirror when she sees herself in it :) So cute. Skylar also is imitating the sign for "milk" and has used it spontaneously a few times while being fed. SO PROUD!!!!

Here is Skylar in her 7th month!  And her 3rd season....FALL!!!
Some Fall pics on a beautiful day in our backyard!


I love how she is sitting here.

Leaves are a new thing for her!

Wind in her eyes!


Sky loves to stand!

Come get it!!!

And here she comes! Crawling action shot!!

What's up with you?




Trying to round up as many leaves as possible!

Do you want a leaf?







These pictures are tiring!

Avocado!  This is pretty much the face she makes for all food :0

She is among the butterflies now! She wanted to touch them for months and now she can easily do it!


Sitting up is a breeze!


Can you see my teeth?

But first, let me take a selfie!!

TEETH!

Big girl :)


Noi also took some great 6 month pictures for us at a park in Hailey! It was a little windy and Sky is not the biggest fan of wind in her face...but she had fun!
First time wearing a sweater--thanks Mimi! :)



Gray outfit from Lisa!


Noi got some laughs out of her!


The teeth are on display!

Pink explosion




Nana's favorite pic. She did this on her own!
Six months is pretty fun!
