School of Rox - 7 MONTHS!!!

Say HELLO to our 7 month old...WHERE did the time go? This month SHE TOOK OFF!!!

We started wearing polo's from H&M...(insert mom happy dance here because they are so affordable!) and making faces full of personality.




Wearing bows IN OUR HAIR!!!! Like a big girl and posing...


We flew to New Mexico to see our besties Lesley and Baby Boy G...and can I add we flew just the two of us. I now feel like a real MOM. 


Girls picture that Baby Boy G snuck in. We cant wait to meet you and had such a blast visiting you.


At the air port headed home to Dal...mom booked a late night flight which wasnt the smartest thing she could have done so she pretty much got whatever she wanted...post to come about traveling with a baby.

I learned to sit and watch Elmo with my buddy Jackson who calls me "Saucy" . We love it.



Still teething....so Sophie is still our number 1.

Finally fit into my "newborn bow"




I often try to get of my car seat if mom doesn't buckle me in really quick. I am only going to fit in this one for 2.5 more pounds!!!

Stats:
-17.5 pounds
-9 month clothes
-size 3 diapers

Updates:
-You started crawling the day before your 7th month birth date. And not the army hybrid crawl. Real crawl. But just a few steps.
-You actually would love to walk and apparently love yoga. Downward dog is your favorite pose and sometimes you try to push to your feet. Don't rush growing up my love. You will walk soon enough!
-You roll all over the place in your sleep and talk occasionally. You have totally taken rolling to a new level.
-You told Dolly (your favorite soft toy) your first words while we were in Target. You said "dadadada" . You are starting to connect that it means Dada and who Dada is but it melts our heart every time. You also like, bababa and mmmmmmm.
-You flew with mommy to New Mexico, adding another state to  your belt of flying in your first year.
-You seem to understand one of your baby signs. You smile every time I do the "all done" sign. Mostly because it means you get to be free and out of your high chair. Its not your favorite thing.
-You can wave when people say hi to you and bye you. You finally figured it out right when we got back from New Mexico and then showed your true skills to the chickfila worker at lunch. I was so proud!
-You can go from laying down to sitting up when you have self play in the morning. You do such a good job Roxie, entertaining yourself. I love listening to you talk to your toys.
-You started stage 2 foods and it has been so much easier. You like combinations more than single foods...most of the time.
-You are in between 3 naps and 2 naps so the hour before bed time is a little rough some times but you sleep solid for 12 hours and mommy appreciates it.
-You have started this nose crinkle when you don't get your way or what you want. You have quite the attitude some times little miss.
-You were in a wedding and were a CHAMP! You made it all the way down the isle in a wagon that daddy pulled. Cant wait to show pictures!!
-You started tagging along mommy's runs in the jogging stroller creating a whole new level of running for mom....what a work out.
-You LOVE interacting with kids. You smile so big every time mommy lets you near another kid. You giggle and get so excited. Sometimes we grab faces a little too hard but we are learning.

Nicknames:
Fox (family)
Lamby (mom and aunt gu call you this one)
Pumpkin (dad's fav)

You are loved little girl. You are the joy to your mommy and daddy's life. We are so humbled by the fact that we get to raise you and can't believe how you have grown up.

Love,

mom & dad
