Cally at 7 months

I feel like I just wrote a blog about Cally turning 6 months and here we are, another month gone by! Cally is now 7 months old and although I say this often, time really just flies by! She keeps growing and learning new things. She is now sitting on her own without any help and is no longer wobbly while sitting up. She has also learned to go from the sitting position to her hands and knees. She rocks back and forth while in this position, but has not yet grasped the idea of putting one arm in front of the other to move. It's so fun to watch her progress. I know she will be crawling in no time. Cally continues to drink breastmilk but is also eating alot more solid foods now. She has an oatmeal cereal mix for breakfast, some veggies and a source of protein (chicken or turkey) for lunch and again for dinner. I have attempted to give her fruits but she hates them. I have tried everything from applesauce and bananas to mangos, bluberries, appricots, etc. She gags everytime I put any fruit in her mouth! Not sure why she doesn't like their sweetness but she much rather have green beans, sweat peas, carrots or any other veggie. Weird, I know. She is still waking up at night, but falls right back to sleep after a short feeding. We have upgraded her to a new, bigger carseat which means I can no longer take the carseat with me and plop it in a cart or next to me while at dinner. I now have to wake her everytime to get her out and place her in her stroller. She is also big enough to sit in a shopping cart or a high chair at a restaurant. Everyday is a new accomplishment for her and I both and we are having a blast together. I feel she is growing so fast but at the same time I'm excited to see what the future holds. She is amazing! I feel so lucky to have her. We miss daddy terribly and can't wait to show him all the new things she has learned.
