Luis said to me last night, "She's growing up so fast!" How many times have I heard people telling me that my baby would grow up fast? It doesn't seem like it from day to day, but looking back, it DOES seem fast. Just barely, she was a tiny little thing, and now, seven months later, she's a dramatic, pre-toddler.
Raquel at 7 months
- She's a whopping 27 inches and 14 lbs.
- She can sit up by herself for up to 15 seconds.
- She loves all food we've given her to try, but her favorite is carrots.
- She is learning "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and loves the part where "...down came the rain..."
- She loves anything that has to do with her hands, so we like to play pat-a-cake or sing "Open Close Them" or "My Hands."
- She can move herself around in a circle, but not forwards or backwards yet.
- Her favorite toys seem to be the ones daddy finds, such as spoons or tupperware lids.
- She is learning the power of her voice and has channeled her "inner Amber" (aka she screeches a lot).
- She really loves the pool.
- She has her two bottom teeth and seems to be on the verge of obtaining tooth #3.
- She doesn't seem to like church much, other than the compliments she gets from the ward members.
- She's now officially darker than her mother.
She puts her feet on EVERYTHING.
She's also very tricky.
