Dear Alice,
You are now half way through your 7th month! When every anyone asks how old you are I really have to stop and think about it - I'm so used to you being a teeny tiny baby and you just seem to have changed all of a sudden!
This month you are now really big on food. You love it, and we get the most smiles at lunch time! We started with purees and ended up moving to baby led weaning - you love to pick up the chunks of food and play with them but generally eat a bit of everything.
Your favourite food is orange, but you also really like chicken, fish, yoghurt and broccoli. Although not all together.
We also had Halloween this month where you had 2 costumes! You were my little penguin, and a beautiful witch. You really didn't think a lot to my costume though and cried whenever you saw my face!
You have been standing with support for a while now, and this past few days you've started standing supporting yourself with the sofa. A very scary thought for me!
You are sitting up in bath and loving to splash and play with your ducks and bath toys.
Your talking has really developed into babbling, and you like to make the "dadada" sound, much to your daddy's pleasure! We never get "mamama"!
You've started reacting more to games and songs, and you definitely seem to recognise certain games and toys. I only have to start to say "Where's Alice?" and you're giggling away already! This means I get nothing done as I just want to play with you all day!
As well as your standing, we're so nearly there with the crawling. You rock on your knees and want to go forwards so much. You're better at backwards, and can do a sort of army crawl forwards.
Daddy says we also have to include the bad points in here, so your sleep at night is still rubbish. It's better, but it's still rubbish! Everyone's baby seems to sleep for like 20 hours a night and it can get a little wearing but you also have a knack for smiling at just the right times to make it all seem ok!
You weighed 16lb 9oz a few weeks ago.
This month has had many firsts, including first go on a slide, first ball pool (you love that!) and first fireworks, albeit you were inside.
I have tons of videos of you that I'm going to try and edit together this month before it becomes an impossible task.
We love you so much. x
