7 Months Part 2

I took Maya's 7 month photo's last Friday but I am just now getting around to posting them.  I put Maya down laying on her back in the living room and ran to the office to get the camera.  She started screaming before I got back and this is how I found her.  

I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo but she is almost sitting but she couldn't quite get up all the way off of her support arm.  It was apparently very frustrating.  Of course I snapped a picture before I helped her up, because I'm mean that way.

Taking photos is getting more difficult as she's getting older, but I got a few cute ones.

These photos were taken before she pulled off her sticker, tried to eat it, then crawled away.

This photo makes it look like she crawls on her hands and knees.  But really its more like this

It's slow going, but eventually she gets there.

But I need to sweep/mop the back porch.

Friday night and Saturday night Maya didn't sleep well at all.  We were up every 30 minutes to 1 hour about all night.  Getting up every 3 hours is an average night these days.  But one night this week she slept for six.

Sunday Maya had banana for the first time.  I just smashed up a ripe one with a spoon.  She was not impressed.  Because she's had issues with textures in the past, on Monday I blended it with milk then added oatmeal to thicken it up. She liked it much better that way.  While I was working on it, I put some small pieces of banana on her tray.  She enjoyed mashing them around and throwing them in the floor, but I don't think she realized they were food or got any into her mouth.

She's really starting to interact with me more.  It's a lot of fun. She will copy you if you blow a raspberry.  Sunday she was trying share her paci with me by shoving it into my mouth. Finally I bit down on it with my lips and she thought it was hilarious.  Tuesday night, she rediscovered splashing in the tub. She's usually too busy sucking on washcloths. But the last few days she'll splash and then laugh about it, especially if someone says eww. If you put her down on the floor and leave the room she will crawl after you. Usually whining because you left her but not always.  Yesterday she was following me, but then got distracted and took a detour into our bedroom. We need to do some baby proofing this weekend before she gets any faster.
