Bug Life: Month 7

OMG maria bug! it feels like i just wrote your 6 month entry yesterday! you are growing and exploring and learning and doing new things everyday! your biggest accomplishment is crawling. you have totally mastered crawling. you are a crawling machine. when you aren't crawling you are pulling up on everything! it doesn't matter if it is my legs, the sofa, your crib, the fireplace, the french door. sometimes the more dangerous the surroundings the more likely you are to really want to pull up on it! you are also walking/ scooting along the sofa and fireplace. your other accomplishments include sleeping in your own room at night. we moved you from the pack and play in our room to your very own crib in your room. you really like your crib. you have been doing a great job of sleeping at night. you are having 2 solid meals a day- a fruit in the morning and a veggie at night. you mostly like everything so far. you don't really like squash or zucchini anymore since the all night barfing incident at thanksgiving. you and your tongue are pretty funny. you love sticking out your tongue and flopping it around. you also really like getting the mail. last week you spent about 30 minutes playing with the junk mail. you were scooting it around, flipping it over, holding onto a certain envelope that had our first christmas card. all the while you had a very serious expression. it was really cute. you still love going outside. you love petting daisy in the morning when we are all in bed. you cry when daddy goes to work. you make funny little screechy, grunty noises. sometimes i think you really are talking to me. we call it bug language. you like the christmas lights we put on the house.

today you woke up in such a quiet mood. i fed you and you played with daddy while i took a shower and ate breakfast. we played in the living room until close 10am then you got solid breakfast. we drove up to north austin to pick up some sandals for aunt laura. i got a chocolate shake at mighty fine burgers. when we got home i started packing for our big trip to mississippi. tomorrow we are getting on a plane to fly to jackson, ms. when we get to starkville, that will be the furthest you have been from your house in austin!


we love you maria bug!
mommy and daddy
