Seven Months, and Lovin' the Feet.

Mmmm, Leah is so edible!

She is, plain and simple, a sweetie pie.  She has the darlingest cheeky, bright-eyed smile; and it takes almost no effort on our part to make it appear.  And those sparkly eyes.  Mmmm.  I could go on and on with the sugary-sweet adjectives...

Leah is seven months old on Sunday.  She is still in no particular hurry to eat a lot of baby food, sit up by herself for long periods of time, or try crawling when she's on her tummy.  No, she's content to stick both arms straight out and wave her hands in the air (so cute), pick out toys to chew on, giggle at Grace, suck on something, say mamamama a few times, and look around.

So far, she's tried eating oatmeal, rice cereal, sweet potatoes, squash, pears, bananas, and peas.  The pears are the favorite (and I use that word very loosely).  

At her recent check-up, Leah weighed in at around 14 and a half pounds!  She's dropped from the 50th to the 20th percentile, but considering the number of feedings I'm still giving her the chances are she's just destined to be a petite little thing.  Grace weighed 14 lbs. when she was 4 or 5 months old.  I am trying to stuff in some extra calories, so we'll see if she tips the scales at her 9 month appointment!

I took many 7 month pictures of Leah Anne, and there are some more over at the heather grace photography blog, if you'd care to visit and take a peek.
