Ivy is 7 months

Sweet little Ivy is 7 months old! I totally missed the 6 month update because we were at camp. She is starting to get really fun...I love this baby stage. 

 Ivy sits in her high chair like a big girl and has started to eat solids--she likes all the fruits and yellow/orange vegetables, and does not enjoy green bean/pea purees although she will eat a regular green bean. She LOVES puffs and mum mums. When we first got home from camp, she threw a fit any time I put her down to get anything else done, and especially if she couldn't see me. But then I learned I could put her in her high chair and put some puffs on her tray and she will stay occupied for a while trying to pick them up and put them in her mouth. Every once in a while she's actually successful.

I love this picture of Ivy and Chad. She still loves to be held and will go to anyone, but she definitely has her preferences. If someone else is holding her and she hears my voice or sees me, she wants her momma. 

In her 7th month, Ivy finally started sleeping through the night on a regular basis. I was up pretty much every night, at least once a night all summer, and by the time we got home I was beyond tired. So our first night home I told her goodnight, closed her door, closed my door, and wouldn't you know it, she woke up at 8:30 the next morning. Probably was awake some other time during the night too, but the point is that now she sleeps through the night. :) 

Ivy also got her first two teeth at around 6 months. She is also rolling over both ways and can sit up by herself for short amounts of time. 

Now that I'm back on schedule, I'll try to post her 8 month update in a couple weeks.
