7 Months

Happy 7-month birthday to our little squeaker! She has been working on developing her voice, and now makes high-pitched "squeaking" noises, so her new nickname is Squeaker. :)

This past month she's mastered sitting up independently, but I often still put the Boppy around her because she enjoys throwing herself backwards and lounging on the pillow. She also loves using the walker and can now travel all around the house in it. She loves putting anything cloth in her mouth, so I've found her in the kitchen eating the dish towels, as well in the bathroom playing with our bath towels... such a funny little girl. But really she enjoys walking around the house... or more like jumping around the house in the walker - it makes her very independent! She's quite the jumping girl these days, so she loves her Johnny Jump Up that we have hanging in the doorway. She also jumps on our laps, jumps in the walker, even tries to jump when we have her in the Bjorn.

Elodie is also becoming quite a good little eater. She's had a variety of foods now, her favorite of which is currently bananas. We recently tried tofu too, and that was a hit! We've also started taking baby swimming classes - very fun, and she loves the water!

It was a beautiful spring day on her 7-month birthday, so we took her to the park for the first time. She tried out the swings, which she probably would have enjoyed more if the sun wasn't in her little eyes (rookie mistake... next time we need to put a hat on her!). Here are a few pictures from her day.
