Elisabeth 7 months


Elisabeth is now 7 months! The time is just flying by with her. She is so adorable! I know, I am biased (as it should be for any mother), but she's just so pretty and cute and chubby and delicious!

She still only has two teeth. I am kind of surprised by this since she got the first two at 4 months. I thought for sure she'd sprout a couple more by now. She rolls from back and front, she scoots and pushes herself all over the place. Today I found her halfway underneath the wing back chair. Justin has nicknamed her "scooter".

She loves eating and has quite a healthy appetite. She gets startled very easily. She always has. She is a great little talker and I love listening to her babble. She is getting better and better at sitting up, but isn't all the way there yet. I don't like to go too far when she's sitting up, unless I surround her with pillows to soften the fall when she topples over.

I think that Elisabeth is kind of a spaz....in a good way. The other day I was rocking her and feeding her and she kept pulling off of her bottle and then shaking her head back and forth from side to side. Such a spaz! To be quite honest, there have been a few times I have wondered about her...as in, does she have some kind of disorder or something??? Just a fleeting thought...

Yesterday I took her in the have her hips x-rayed. I think I mentioned before that her doctor mentioned her asymmetrical thigh skin folds. Sometimes it can be an indicator for hip dysplasia. They did two x-rays, which she was definitely NOT thrilled about. I'm hoping, and expecting, that they will come back normal.
