I can hardly believe it when I say that Skylar is now 7 months old! The time is just flying and she is growing and doing more and more every day!
A recent doctor's visit revealed that Skylar now weighs 17 lbs 1 oz. Since it wasn't a well baby check up they did not measure her height, but I do not think she has grown much length wise.
Skylar now uses a sippy cup with meals and she drinks water out of it. I tried to give her water out of her bottle recently when she wasn't feeling very good, and she was ANGRY! I transferred it to her cup, and she gulped it down. I guess she knows what she wants! She can hold it for the most part, but she still requires a little bit of help. It takes a lot of coordination you know! ;)
She also started eating some finger foods this month. She loves the Gerber Puffs, but she hasn't mastered her pincer grasp yet so she prefers for you to feed them to her! I also gave her a biter biscuit. I forgot how messy those are!
She creeps anywhere and everywhere! Still no crawling with the belly off of the floor, but I really think that the army crawl is her way to get around.
Nana (my mom) recently showed her what her legs are all about, and she LOVES to stand now! In fact last night she pulled herself to standing from the floor holding on to Matt's knees! Sadly I did not have the camera ready, but we both saw it! =)
She is "talking" up a storm with her babbling! Today's sounds really sound like Da-Da who sadly wasn't here to hear it, but I was able to record it on my phone and send it to him.
Up until recently bath time was not really her thing. She preferred to take a shower with me (hmmm...is this too much information) which was actually easier for me. But I thought she should get used to taking her own bath, so we decided to try the kitchen sink. This is how my mom gave us baths...and Skylar LOVES it! Sami enjoys it too because she can help. In the above picture she was teaching her how to splash the water!In the time it took me to write this she has figured out how to open the door on her Laugh n Learn house, crawled into the kitchen(and been moved back) 4 times, laughed at Sami's dancing, found the one piece of lint on the floor to try and eat, and more! Phew...busy girl...but I can't wait to see what the next month brings!

Pulling herself to stand?! Wow...are you thinking she'll walk early like Sami did?
She is getting soooo big! I still think of her as a tiny baby, but she most definitely is a growing-up baby. :(
It's hard to know for sure of course, but so far she seems to be doing all of the same things Sami did! :/ And while I am super proud of her...sometimes I do wish she would slow down a bit.
Aww, I can't believe how fast time has flown by!
