Our precious Eleanor is 7 months old today. Cue the sighing mother in disbelief... Ellie has had a big week:
: She finally cut her first tooth/teeth (can't tell if it's 1 or 2 of the bottom teeth). Ellie was teething like a madman last week, and she wanted to get everything but the kitchen sink in her mouth. The process left her incredibly fussy for about 4 days. "Calling irritable, party of 1!"
: She now crawls, sits, and pulls up, AND is able to transition from each of those movements with some sense of grace. Very few face plants and loss of balance now.
: While the amount of solids that she eats has doubled, she refuses to eat vegetables without fruits mixed in.
: Ellie's swimming skills were a huge improvement last week. She started to kick on her own, but the big feat was her going completely under. While she was completely unfazed, I had a mini panic attack after each dunk.
: The sleeping honeymoon is over. Ellie used to sleep until 7:30/8:00 a.m., and now she's waking at the still-dark hour of 6:15/6:45 a.m. I didn't realize how spoiled I was. I've tried to let her sit in her crib, but she immediately pulls herself up and grasps at the spindles of her crib yelling for us to come get her. Stinker.
: New button obsession
: Sticks her tongue out constantly. Thinking it's her feeling the new chompers?

Chewing on the tape measure as we were trying to measure her for her Halloween costume.
Bag Lady! Insisted on chewing on the brown paper bag from our tacos.

Trip to the pumpkin patch. Apparently I was asking way too much to get a smile. She was obsessed with checking out the big kids.
How can I get this in my mouth?
Tongue
A pillow covered in buttons? Fascinating!
This is the first photo shoot where she's been 100% mobile. Proved to be a big challenge, and Ellie almost fell off the bed about 10x.
Up to no good
My brilliant idea to distract her with the camera lens cap.
