7 months old!

There is our big smiley girl who is 7 months old today!  She's getting so big!  She is still trying lots of new foods, playing (mostly chewing) on lots of toys, and trying to figure out how to crawl.  She's either doing her arms or her legs, hasn't figured out the logistics quite yet.  ;)  But soon!  She can grab at anything from any angle, and she's pretty strong.  Practicing using a sippy cup with a little water in it at dinner.  I think I feel her first tooth that's about to pop through too!  She's still sleeping well (10-12hrs) at night, very seldom waking for a feeding, and she's now taking 2-3 (30mins-2hrs) naps a day.  We went to the grocery store today and she tried to lean up to see everything from her carseat the whole time, so I guess pretty soon she will be able to sit in the cart.  My mom found us a cart cover, it even has velcro straps for toys.  We can start feeding her meat this month, and will probably start with chicken.

I have so many friends that are expecting babies right now!  It's gonna be a big year for a lot of people.  Sarah Faye Hooie turns 2 in a couple of weeks...can't believe it.  We're pretty sure Nana is pregnant too, and puppies are expected this weekend.  Exciting, but I'm a little nervous. 

My sis still lives in NYC, and my brother graduates from Alabama this May.  My mom is still recovering from breast cancer.  She got a pretty bad infection and it has to heal before too much progress can be made, and she's not sure they'll do the chemo with her, but she's still recovering. 

And....it's officially spring!  This past weekend we planted our garden, had date time on our balcony under the supermoon (biggest moon in 18 years), and watched movies together.  The weather is nice, but we have itchy eyes.  Dave is still working at Home Depot, but hopefully not for too much longer.  Getting our taxes done next week.  Can't believe it's almost April!
